Glad you learned the lesson, let's hope memory will serve you well. By the way, I spoke to your obscene overuse of video clips before which you resorted to freedom of expression. Glad you learned that freedom of expression is only a privilege as long as it does not limit and infringe on others' freedom. Edit: I take this back after seeing you again posted two YT clips. Idiotic.
Remember the thread, man. And I called the Chiefs by 3 so I won the SuperBowl on the forum. Bugger that, mate!
I am pretty baffled about this too as it does not make sense but that's what I observed and I posted screenshots about it to show it. I still had him on Ignore and blocked him and yet his post shows up in the thread and I can quote him if I want to reply to him. That's why I asked @Baron to take a look. This has nothing to do with backbone or whatever. I am not afraid of @destriero. I can go into verbal fights with him and I can tell you I will win but that's not what I want to do. I didn't come here to go into fights with people. I came here to socialize and learn about trading here and he is proving to be both a nuisance and a distraction. It's your friend dest who needs to have the maturity to at least leave people alone. Seriously, high school is over!! It's great that he has his knowledge about options but respect is earned not taken and definitely not forced. And respect is a 2-way street. You want people to respect him? He needs to learn to respect others too regardless how much he disagrees with their views and ideas. Everybody has a right to express their thoughts here without being harassed. This is why this is a public forum, not his private cult. And about tolerance, first of all, nobody on this forum is under any obligation to tolerate anybody here. We are all equal and everybody here is expected to exhibit a certain degree of maturity and respect for others and nobody is an exception. This is stated in the Terms and Rules of this site here https://www.elitetrader.com/et/help/terms that you as his friend, perhaps should suggest for him to read them and apply in his behaviour. So far I can tell you, he has broken pretty much every single one of these rules there and the fact that he's still allowed to be a member here and not banned permanently already shows a great degree of tolerance and restraint on our part and on the part of the moderators here. You compare him to the IRC and BBS of the past and think he's Mother Teresa but I can tell you he can go onto any public forum on the internet today with his behaviour and he will be banned in a week. If you don't believe me, just ask him to go to any of the forums out there with his behaviour and you see how long he will last there. And besides there is a reason why these IRC and BBS of the past don't exist anymore and if they still do, we are not on there and we are all here because those IRC/BBS are crap. You can't use the lowest standard of behaviour exhibited on those IRC/BBS to excuse his behaviours here and think it's ok. If you do, then maybe he belongs to those IRC/BBS of the past, not here.
Me thinking... Overnight just came back and he's already talking to himself, not a good sign... Then I remembered I am blocked by The Dawn... What a bless.
lol so all I have to do is embed jpegs in all of my posts? Done, MsDawn! #infinitegamma positions in futures ops.
Well, the old BBS's no longer exist, those were dial-up days. But IRC is still alive and kicking. As for the lowest standard of behavior being used as a guide? I still believe in it because it was a baseline for human interaction online. The fact that you think that that sort of behavior "does not belong here" is a kinda' "woke" mentality that people cannot take a bruising. It is why kids today have no backbone and do not stand up for themselves. Holy shit, get a backbone kids, because the REAL WORLD you are about to enter is a LOT tougher than some words on an online forum. That is something I never got about this culture of safe spaces and soft teddy bears when there is any sort of conflict. You did wrong as a kid, you got the belt or the paddle. And it made us real adults. Now if you get the belt or paddle? Your parents are thrown in prison for child abuse. Look how well that is working out, with the 16 YO who tried to choke her teacher to death, or the 6 YO who shot the teacher. Sheesh!
