I was forced down memory lane today looking for something I wrote before and in the early days of this thread for my current article and thus found myself reviewing the "past." Bringing back to mind things no longer in focus but also members and their comments and all the exchanges made then as well as some facts I now find interesting. For instance,
a) @ImpLaNT was my chief antagonist but now a very good friend and an expert Orbit trader.
b) @Davie 111 has always been around and from the start was very, very positive and remains so.
c) Interesting disputations with @Xard777 who is always here now (day and night) but silent.
d) Many that showed initial interest but no longer come around at all.
e) People that were very helpful but I no longer see such as @Khan and @Manu9710
And it hit me how tough it has been. So has it been worth it for me? I am not sure it has. And from all of that and more knowing what I know now of this path would I have come here with Orbit? No I would not have at all it has been unfair and I would not have wanted the silly aggravations suffered for no justifiable reason other than that I wanted to share something I thought useful to all traders. Have I enjoyed the experience? Not at all and should actually regret it were it not people like @Khan, @Davie 111, @Manu9710, @Italian Trader and several others who showed determination and positive commitment to learning something different that I had an interest in sharing. Would I encourage someone else with something new and interesting to come around? No I would not it is not worth it as there are too many negative people here that are not worth anyone's time least of all someone out to persuade others on a new vision. But what about the positive people in their midst? That is the pity those are dominated by the ignorant, selfish and nasty and I would argue that there may be many others with goods to share but that have been kept away by these nasty and discredited people and therefore to the loss of the positive people on this site. So what do I think is a solution? Not sure there is one given it is a public and open forum. But one thing that heartened me and could be helpful was the open outcry by the positive minds on this thread when it was recently swarmed by goons out simply to shut the thread down for no just cause. The positives reacted very strongly to send them away for good and to my mind that is a right approach because the negatives deny not just the messengers space but also the potential beneficiaries important content and clearly everyone is justified in defending their interest. But in all of this a single post kept me going even back then and I will never forget the post and remain grateful for it (there were others but this stands out) and it is this post below:
