iSPI said:Fair enough Professor,
I have read your posts, you seem like a pretty switched on trader
and you have shared some great ideas. Why don't you simply ignore
Battman/Brontes post and keep contributing.
I still don't get what antics are so repulsive it causes traders to
leave. I talk to traders and investors all the time and most of them are
golfers and fishermen that makes them the biggest exaggerators on the planet
doesn't upset me.
iSPI said:This latest post from you seems a little out of character.
For someone who usually tells it like it is it sounds a bit
Boo Hoo us poor moderators we have a hard job
especially those of us who contribute as well.
You guys are like referees, no you won't please everyone
yes you will make mistakes (and deleting 2000 posts was a ripper
*Please note I said that very much tongue in cheek
none of those posts were mine *
However !
If being consistently fair and impartial is too hard, if having your decision questioned seems like you are being victimised then
Can't stand the heat ? Get out of the Kitchen!
doctorj said:ISPI, your comments are fine and I've not said anything about me being personally attacked. Keep it coming. Remember, I started this thread by splitting off the first post. I knew that in doing so, I was opening myself up to a thread of flack. I'm a big boy and can live with that (your comparison to umpires is quite apt as I happen to be one - so copping a bit is nothing new) as long as people continue to show the level of maturity they have so far in this thread.
All I was saying is that I stand by my actions and would do the same again.
wayneL said:iSPI,
See, even diplomacy desn't work! ROFL
The point of my post was not to complain.
It was to point out that we are human too. We are tryng hard, learning as we go along......
......and developing very thick skins
You liken us to referees... well... yes! And who's the person on the footy field who doesn't have a clue, is biased toward the other team, lost the match for us etc.... the ref!
Don't expect perfection.
wellllllllll ok.... everyone give your monitor a big squeezewayneL said:Time for a group hug?
No offence taken iSPIiSPI said:Doctor I think you would have been better sending this as a PM to Bronte.
If you differed in opinion, posting on a public thread looks like flaming to me
heck now I'm doing it
I don't see your post as encouraging people to share ideas or fostering a positive environment. There a lot of lookers on the Trading the SPI thread most likely because they are too nervous to say anything.
Bud's posts flew pretty close to the edge and I understand why they were pulled however Trading the SPI looks like it turns into a bag Bronte and seems to me some of them should have pulled as well.
I haven't learned anything from Bronte's posts (no offence Bronte)
however Sails said she found them of interest and I have seen others
asking questions and getting snippets of info so just becauseYOU find novalue in 99.99% doesn't give you the right to imply her posts are of no value.
I don't know how someone becomes a moderator for ASF
but you ladies and gents need to make sure if you are going to
do the job be fair impartial and leave personal opinion out it.
Thank you for your support iSPI and of course Margaret.iSPI said:Ditto, don't remember seeing any post saying "heres what I did last week"
or "I'm awesome" by anyone in the Trading the Spi thread.
I could be wrong but from what I can gather the thread Trading the SPI
was never started as "heres my trades live" nor "heres my trading system"
Bronte I congratulate you on how you always welcome new comers
to the thread. You foster a environment that encourages new comers and have been respectful of others which ASF is about.
Maybe Joe should make you the moderator !!
There is plenty to be learned from hindsight, if I had not reviewed my trades
I would have crashed and burned looooooooooong ago.
Of course reviewing you own trades is alot easier then trying to reverse engineer a trade from a couple of figures and a basic bar chart with a couple of lines on it.
Re the live trade issue Bronte has done live trades and should not be feel obliged to do all trades or in fact any further trades live just recently
Bronte made the call of 19th of Sept before the day was established.
I actually did it the day before !! I'm awesome
Funny, nobody said.... how did you do that?
Why do you keep deleting my posts?Bronte said:Battman is happy to meet doctorj to give him a hug
This is my fourth attempt at this post.....
Someone keeps deleting them.
Send me a PM doctorj
Because you keep posting off-topic.Bronte said:Why do you keep deleting my posts?

Or just start another thread on whatever it is you wish to discuss.kennas said:I think the PM facility and chat area needs to be more liberally used to cope with this.
Too late Joe we already had a group hug !Joe Blow said:Sorry about getting into this thread so late but I have been at a get together all afternoon and evening and have just come across this thread now.
