    And isn't it interesting that Kiwi and Fitzy have both been kicked out? And GB is very careful about what he says? I like woodie, I really do, but I think his paranoia is affecting his personality. He seems obsessed that others are going to steal his ideas and sell them for big bucks.

    Much is made of 'positive posts' and all, but sometimes the negative vibes from Woodie and the other moderators is just too much for me. Between that and the relentless pushing of esignal charts, I sometimes wonder why I bother to stick around.

  3. So don't.

    Be your own man. Bitching is no solution. I have visited the Woodies room in the very distant past. I did not find it that much to my liking, but I did not discount it as helpful for others. If you don't like it, just move on. Whining and bitching is not going to make you a winner. Either do what Tampa did, that is to take the best you can out of the room or move on. Seems to me that you prefer to choose yet another solution that simply does not exist...

  4. Lets get back to tampa's trials and tribulations. Much more entertaining than speculating on disagreements and why people leave chat rooms after a time. A chitchat thread could deal with that if anyone really wanted to pursue it.

    Apologies Tampa ... the journal is yours :)

    You know what’s wrong with living in the 21st Century? I grew up in the 20th Century – and I’m just not prepared for what I have to deal with.

    I’ve told you about “the wife”, but not about “the other wife”. Many years ago, when I was young and foolish, I married one of Ivan The Terrible’s older sisters – the mean one. Well, to make a long story short, she is now on her eleventh or twelfth husband. I can’t explain why, but from time to time I will drop her a line or two – you know, just staying in touch.

    Frankly, I’m surprised that she still remembers my name, seeing how there were so many that came after me. Anyway, I’ll write and say blah, blah, blah. In return she sends me pictures of her children. I do admit a certain sick kind of joy at seeing the one with spiked orange hair.

    But I digress…

    Yesterday I did something very foolish – I sent her a link to the blog. I don’t know why. So I sit down this morning to check my e-mail, and what do I find? A return message from “the other wife”! She had proof read the site, and enclosed a list of corrections!!!

    If I acknowledge them and change the errors, I will provide her with a degree of perverse pleasure. If I ignore them, I will provide her with even more. This is a classic lose-lose situation.

    Like I said, my momma just didn’t prepare me for days like these.

  6. You are doing a great service to mankind. I can't imagine how many people feel better about their lives after reading your journals.

    Someone once told me: "It's not as important that I succeed as it is that my friends fail."

    Clearly, he knew what he was talking about...

  8. Ahhhh, now I get the attraction. Was wondering why people kept on flocking and sticking to the room.

    But in all honesty tampa, and all kidding aside: I am most grateful for your journal as it gives other traders the motivation to keep on trading as long as there are sheep [goats] flocking to that chatroom.

    Having said all this I bid you farewell and hope you'll buy yourself in with a resthome where you can reside after you have lost the shirt of your back. I'm done with this journal of yours and trying to help you.

    Adieu

    Who, pray tell, died and appointed you God?

    Elite Trader attracts any number of strange characters, as well as fools without a clue., but you take the cake. You have the audacity to barge in to my journal with your own little crusade, and then attempt to insult and belittle me.

    Permit me to revert to my most crude self, and simply tell you to screw off, moron.
