I agree. If he was consistent and honest, he would get a lot more respect. But he would rather be a circus clown.
Every one of Surfs journals have been contentious, Surf winds people up, especially regarding TA and ultimately Baron gets sick of him. The longer the journals run for, the more argumentative they become. Baron gets flooded with complaints. I think that may sum it up.
Big problem in the past is that genuine experienced traders have pulled pin on ET due to the unprofessionalism of Surfs posts and Barons tolerance of it.
I think it is more like mutual benefits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbiosis (In 1879, Heinrich Anton de Bary defined it as "the living together of unlike organisms.) The host organism's pageview is increased while the parasite's narcisism gets expressed, meanwhile the reade..., I mean zoo visitors' need for entertainment is satisfied.
Last time was continuing to incite TA doesn't work debates and continually disrupting threads with his incessant anti-TA tirades. Baron warned him repeatedly, and he just couldn't help himself, compulsive. One would think it was because he was outed for the shilling behavior of his multi-alias alter ego debitspread. oh and the Jim Nestle re-tweets were classic. Don't take my word for it, see for yourself...perform the search's debitspread as subject and then again debitspread as user. Same for Jim Nestle it couldn't have been more blatant. Of course there is the chance that Magna scrubbed the threads.. Surf reports tend to get edited frequently Goo boy denies it vehemently, then again, who expects him to admit to it. It is engrained in his persona...
