I would like to see posting privs for people who violate this rule suspended
just as much or more than I would like to see people who occassionally
attack others get booted off the list. "Me toos" and "thank yous" take up
far more bandwidth and are substantially worth less than some attacks.

This is the big area of contention. What a lot of people don't know is that
some people will post market calls or will make subtle references to some
magic method they use and then when people (mostly newbies) on the list
approach them privately, the poster will try to sell them something. Many
of you don't appreciate the fact that this is what Mark Brown was trying to
expose. You all just get so frosted that he made a personal attack. You
never consider the reason for the attack. Mark has shown me some of the
stuff that vendors ON THIS LIST tried to sell him when he contacted them
privately under an alias.
And let's consider the phrase "give each member's post the respect it
deserves". Does a post deserve respect just because a member of this list
made it? I submit the answer is "No". When someone posts "the market will
go up and the market will go down over the next few days", that is wholly
deserving of ridicule. Compare profitok's posts to Hohn Capello's. Ben is
very specific, Capello is very vague. Membership of this list can be broken
down into 2 categories: the experienced and the inexperienced. I believe
that when the experienced members of this list take the time to ridicule
worthless posts, they are doing a service to the inexperienced. How about
you? They are also BENEFITTING all members of the list because the object
of ridicule will consider his or her posts more carefully. If the person
being ridiculed is actually a spammer pretending to make real market calls,
that person will be more likely to move on in search of more spammable
pastures. I don't know about you, but I would like to be on a list where
people who put REAL MONEY behind their trades are the on people posting to
the list. Not a list where anyone with an email account tosses out
completely hypothetical crap about what the market may or may not do over a
hypothetical timeframe. How about you? I'm not interested in the fact that
Mars is up Uranus. I want to know what that means for the market. How
about you?

I would like Mark Brown to be reinstated. And perhaps when he attacks
someone, the more sensitive members on the list could think about whether or
not he has a point rather than just getting your panties in a wad.
>***Membership in Realtraders is open to anyone who wishes to learn and

I would like professionalism to be paramount. Professionalism does not mean
politeness. The respect or lack of respect I get from this list has zero
effect on my ego. Zero. If I were to post some crap and get hammered for
it, I would reconsider the crap that I posted, not whine to the moderator.
And I would much rather belong to a Real Traders list where Real Traders
acted like Klingons who just won the Soccer World Cup than I would like to
belong to a list where faux traders treat each other with respect and
courtesy.
If you had to be on a list with Dic Migrains or Mark Browns, which would you
choose?
