My reply is made after each major point in your post, Below. I would agree. But you may see a problem with the idea of civility. It is no about right/wrong or finding truth with guys like GWB, Treefrog, FHL, Jem etc. It is unfair of you to characterize the above posters as not interested about right/wrong or finding truth. Your use of “etc.”, implies every other poster on the Right side is the same way. They are after an emotional release. Certaintly some are at least some of the time, as are the posters that promote the Left ideology. . Being seriously wrong, obviously and clearly foolish in front of other adult men is water off a duck's back. It has happened to them all their lives. This point is another unfair characterization. It is overly broad and other than some isolated posts, you can’t support this kind of statement. How would you know what has happened to them throughout their lives? As I mentioned to you before, when you are focused, your posts can bring up points that no one else has considered. When you are not focused, whether it is because you are tired, distracted, or frustrated, your post quality suffers and could be considered “emotional release quality”. GWB will try and play both sides very often after he gets rounded on for being a dick. That is his coping strategy, try and act peacemaker. Sounds like you are talking about me. I am not married to a party or to a “mainline” ideology. For example, I recognize global warming but am pro 2nd amendment. I like Bill Clinton and Trump, but not Bush and Obama. I am against crony capitialism but pro tax cuts. Even though I am pro Trump, I have no problem in calling out my issues with unqualified judges, net neutrality, and not managing trade agreements very effectively. The primary thing that guides me is the underlying foundation of an issue, rather than an overall narrative a particular side has been working for a long time. It is evident to me that many on both sides are intellectually lazy and will let “trusted sources” do their thinking for them. Although most will view me with suspicion, I never have to worry about being labelled as a “good Democrat” or a “good Republican”. Such a label would really piss me off. He is typical of the non-traders who come to ET. The only way to get him to think about his behavior would be to put him in intensive care, and even then he would only shut up because his fingers were in casts and his jaw wired shut. Are you inadvertently and indirectly supporting GWB’s ANTIFA violence claims? There are several on the Left who could be considered as non-traders. My concern is that several of the Left side posters are non-patriots. The have an anti-American agenda and the only way for them to have an effective voice is to be able to suppress meaningful dialogue between sides. Hence my proposal on forum conduct. You do care about America, don’t you? The northern English have a saying, "You can't educated pork. In order to advance human civilization, we have to. I really should start a thread on my proposal for political forum conduct. If nothing else, any reaction or lack thereof should be informative.
Oh wow, it is written in luminous pink, my eyes! I'll have to answer on my desktop in the morning as I literally cannot read that on the phone after a long day without changing that. One of my physicists does that, high math ability and colour blindness are related. One thing I can read.. I have done a rough count of regular posters regarding non-traders on the left vs the right. I'm afraid you will find that seesaw utterly unbalanced. The difference is important. We know that traders who can feed themselves are higher-beings. Not super high however in the top 10% ish for stocks & a lot less for Options/Futures. The politics thread is plagued by guys on the right who are mentally.. well 30-60% ers being kind. So they can't keep up. Nearly all the actual traders might be dicks sometimes but they can think if they want to. This separation of ability is not something that can be overcome in adults. This is not leave no man-child behind. Anyway, I'll try and answer in the AM.
We are sorry that you continually attack others to deal with your personal inadequacies. We have seen you continually pile hate on other posters when you aren't busy abusing baby boomers and Jews. Others on this forum prefer to politely discuss politics and learn while discussing recent events. We recognize that there are many different positions and points of view, but do our best to remain civil in our discussions. You and some others on the other hand appear to simply get your kicks from abusing others. Very sad.
It is hopeless with this GWB child minded man to think he can develop, sometimes the garbage lid won't close because the can is too full. Keep pushing down.
So Slartibartfast, explain to us what your moniker means. We know that a Shart or Slart is shiatting your pants when you attempt to fart. Are you doing this regularly or fast to arrive at your self-designated user name. Is it tough wearing adult diapers all the time? So explain to us how you came up with your user name for ET.
Go tell someone to switch if off and back on again. Stop stealing your employer's time with this garbage. The reason you don't trade is you can't, you are not enough of a man. Stop pretending you are a leader.
Well Slart --- it appears that you drop by ET simply to shiat all over everything. Guess you get your kicks from pushing poo. Maybe you will reform yourself and start acting civil to others -- but that is probably too much to expect.
Awww... go get a tissue and blow your nose. You represent a deep sickness in America. You are a dunderhead, maybe Dunninghead in modern parlance. If you learned to trade and could make a living at it, I would try and meet you half way. But as you just ramble on and on like a stroke victim I morally cannot just say you are equal and worthwhile in your opinions, you are not. We would still be here in five years and you would still be a fool. Jem is your future, you want that?
We are sorry you spend your entire life attempting to overcome your inadequacies. However the reaction from the girls in the trailer park when they see your "equipment" is telling...
