You OR your multiple aliases (OR friends) had posted inappropriate pictures that violated ET's policies until I complained about it. Have you forgotten about that? And not only that, throughout the course of this thread, YOU, have made inappropriate comments about females using language that at work or school would get you fired for sexual harrassment. I chose NOT to complain about your language, but it does not mean it did not go unregistered in my mind. And don't give me your locker room excuse, cause in case you did not notice, you are on the Internet and everything you write is visible to anyone regardless of gender. Apart from myself, many others in the course of this thread have also pointed out that this thread provides more of an entertainment value to some readers, and it does not contribute to any healthy exchange on trading. Worse thing is, this thread constantly stays on the top of the Trading forum because of frequent postings by the same four or five individuals. I notice the lack of participation from respected (and knowledgable) posters in this thread depending instead on repeated participation from the same small group of posters, which only reinforces to me that this thread is better suited in Chit Chat cause it's more like a chat within a small group. The many visits to this thread is indicative of nothing except what I pointed out earlier - that is, it gets those hits by virtue of it being constantly on the top of the Trading forum due to frequent postings by the original poster and his small band. Do you have any statistics to prove that people actually stay in the thread? If at all readers are staying, they are doing so as voyeurs to watch the nasty infighting that occurs in here so frequently. How can that be a thread ET should be proud of? I notice that OP's first thread was closed by an Admin. What were the reasons for that? And do those reasons not exist now in this thread? PS: I am entitled to express my independent opinion, so nobody should attack me for it just cause I do not agree with the op and his four or five minions, and that includes the moderator Ivan. Feel free to check my IP. I am nobody's alias.
Hi Mr Rennick, I read your thread everyday and I like it. I hope you continue posting your BALL calls, and I hope the thread will continue to prosper.
Then why is it that you and the previous poster "Speedtrader88" have the exact same IP address (which is a ToU violation that I will be bringing up with our Administrator)? Also with starkly different viewpoints? As I mentioned earlier, Amaryllis, I have done my best to eliminate the threads where you have hit the "complain" button over and over again. I have advised you to put the OP on ignore, and avoid the thread. If what you say is true, and all the "reputable traders are avoiding this thread", why is it you continue to come back and complain here? Why can you not avoid the thread as well? Though I may agree with some of your points, I am convinced you simply like to complain.
Does every single computers in the world have a unique IP? If he's real, maybe he's in the same country as I? But in actuality, maybe you created him using some computer technique who knows what. I know what I said irks you cause it's the truth and you have to invent some excuse to get me banned, even to the extent of creating another alias. How pathetic. Readers beware, it's all a big joke here.
If everyone closed an eye to something that offends them, then blacks in the US would still be second class citizens, and Obama would not be where he is today. I don't like the OP for what he has written, and there is nothing beneficial in here apart from, as in his own words, "locker room" talk. Why shouldn't this be moved somewhere more appropriate? Go ahead ban me and accuse me of being an alias that I am not. Whatever makes you comfortable.
Not every single computer, but every single connection to the internet, yes. You could argue that you're posting from the same company, I suppose - if the IP was commercial (which it is not). There's no way I know to fake an IP, though I suppose it could be done. I assure you, nothing you said irks me. I don't lose any sleep over you or your complaining. I just try to censor that which offends, within reason. If you choose to portray yourself in some ultra-feminist/neo-conservative/christian fanatic that gets offended every time someone shows a woman in a swimsuit or uses the "f" word, that is your choice. But it's my job to balance what is blatantly offensive and what is acceptable (even if I don't agree with it) on a trading forum. You can't please all the people all of the time. I think that phrase was created because of folks like yourself.
Yes, now the thread is compared to racial inequalities. *rolls eyes* I do not have the power to ban you, nor would I if I could. I will, however delete any further messages not on topic and not lose a wink of sleep over it.
I feel for you <b>Ivanovich</b>. Really odd stuff. First off many, many, many people view and enjoy William Rennick's play with the "Ball". But that isn't good enough. As soon as someone hits the complain button and it proves to be without merit - beware of that person. They are disruptive and want to impose their own personal hate on the many, many, many other that are fine with just enjoying the thread. The minute you get an accusation - assume it is false - since it comes from one person and the rest are quietly fine. Then take action against said person for being such, since all that is necessary is for him/her to simply ignore the thread like an adult (perhaps that should be in the TOU). If they do not take your direction, then they should be banned. This crackpot with different aliases and starkly contrasting viewpoints belongs in an asylum. Then he/she has the audacity to accuse the moderator of falsely fabricating the simple fact that the same IP address and low post count is the very same offender. Coincidence? I think not. Should this be tolerated one ioda? Absolutely not. This is a real shame that we continue to spend to much time and ill-energy in said manner when we could be going about enjoying the thread. The plain truth here is that Amaryllis et al is a random act of hate - hitting the complain button over and over and ignoring requests to cease. This person falsely feels they are in the right and are in the camp of "reputable traders" and that we are the "pathetic" - when in truth we are the victims. DON'T GET IT TWISTED!!! paysense
If you had applied that to everyone equally, there would not have been an issue. Now I suggest you further your investigations on the IP issue. It's a relatively tiny place where I post from. I am curious to know if this service provider routes us through the same IPs.
