You know, I've seen people come and go for years. I myself have left forums because of the distraction that so many cross systems and methods in one spot can cause.
Even if some person wants to package themselves as a s'posed housewife to confound and vex the seasoned posters here, so be it. As long as they are not being disrespectful towards other posters and spamming people's PMs without request, why is it a problem?
The past couple weeks I've been embarrassed myself by some of the pictures posted here. I come here to find forex discussion, not pictures of fat chicks in bikinis and the like. My girlfriend happened to be looking over my shoulder and saw it and asked me what the hell am I looking at. I had to try and explain it away as 'it's an public forum and trolls post things to piss people off but the mods will clean it up'. Am I supposed to tell her it's a respected and liked poster and trader making a joke?
She already hates the fact I have a small biz locally that makes more cash, not just paycheck but cash in hand, in under 20 hours a week than she makes working full time and overtime. She also doesn't think my trading is fair because I trade for 20 hours a week and make more money than her with this, too. She hates when I leave bed in the middle of the night to trade euro sess and thinks I have an online g-friend.
Well, I'm gonna break it off with her anyway...lol and not for any of the reasons I outlined here.
I don't mind joking and do enjoy the inside jokes that go on here. It's just because someone comes along fronting as a newbie and brashly making brazen calls is somehow despised by the 'respected posters' and characterized as immature yet the same thing could be said about some of the stuff posted here by the very same.
I'm not calling out specifics posters to make an issue so I apologize if I offend.
I've always felt that the test of time is the best way to let things take care of themselves. If a person is claiming to not 'loose a pip ever' and make calls that 'loose' them no trash talking can damage their rep as the evidence of these calls. Anyone wanting to follow someone after just one or two calls is a sheep that will be led astray anyway so be it here or on the street corner they will be taken advantage of.
