If everyone on ET would do this, he would wither from the lack of attention. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Send_to_Coventry
What I'm finding bothersome about you is that you are excessively argumentative, have zero concern for how you are derailing threads, repeat your opinion over and over.... and over.... and over, and you are extremely narcissistic. It's almost as if your only agenda is to bring attention to yourself. If a thread was dedicated to you solely, ok, I could see you cutting loose on everybody. But virtually all of the threads that you get in personal pissing matches in have absolutely nothing to do about you. This is the second day in a row that I'm faced with having to remove pages and pages of just pointless arguing and thread-derailing posts from you, just in this one thread. Furthermore, you've been generating a ridiculous number of complaints lately with virtually nobody else really stepping up and defending you. I like you as a person in real-life but this online persona you've got going on is just out of bounds on many levels, so I'm sorry to say that the party is over. You're banned.
I have to say much appreciated. Not to contribute to the Surf-tangent, but the anti-TA brigade was a smokescreen. He was the definition of a troll. I hope that he's not reinstated again.
Baron, thank you , that flushing sound was surf sending ET down the toilet. It's not simply page views that count, that's the amateurish lowbrow interpretation of the biz. The quality in terms of reaching the intended profiles is the game. You know this , why you allowed an obvious clown to roam the ET range as long as you did is perplexing.

I've had my differences with marketsurfer over his hero worship of timothy sykes, bordering on him being a sycophant. basically he refused to produced sykes track record and became testy and verbose in his refusal + resorting to some verbal con tricks. it goes with the territory. however, he is knowledgeable about markets. being repetitious can be a fault but that is no reason to ban him. certainly the fact that there have been "a ridiculous number of complaints" is also no reason to ban him. all iconoclasts are ridiculed and in the old days were burned at the stake. for some of us the new year is coming up. it is time for forgiveness. why don't you cut him some slack?
But... but... now Lucrum will be free at last to post all those scintillating, profound insights and spot-on market calls he's been afraid to offer up before because of Surf... You wouldn't want to miss that excellent content, would you?... I can hardly wait myself!
Given surf's full history on this site, and the way he's been acting lately, I'd say he's had so much slack he took it for granted. And unfortunately, in surfs case, any positives (in the knowledge arena) he'd bring to the site are far outweighed by the negatives (his persona and activity.)
What knowledge? Seriously. He's one of the least knowledgable on this site. What's surprising is that he's learned so little in so many years. A trader that can't trade and a "journalist" that can't spell better than my Ecuadorian nanny. {she's legal, btw}
