I like how you imagine events that never happened. I only see BP forum members attacking him continuously in “his journal.” I have the highest respect for the OP for being cordial in his replies inspite of the consistent egging by entitled forum members. You are not entitled to any explanation by anyone.
You have done a good job going out of your way to put down a forum member who’s been anything but friendly and open in his responses and summarily ignored the abuse piled on by members in this forum over and over. If he’s irascible now he’s entitled to that anger.
If you want forum members who don’t contribute anything go do Dennis S/W thread. You’ll find plenty there. This OP has contributed far more in the way of cordial dialogue and friendly answers to all the good natured questions fielded in his direction than the majority of freeloaders in this forum.
I have no time for the guys who come to babypips simply to say they are making lots of money but they won’t say how. Its masturbation for their ego’s. I don’t say they are liars, I just don’t appreciate them bragging.
That’s your problem and something you need to fix. The OP isn’t responsible for your psychological triggers in his journal.
PS - What loads of money. He only claimed a 90% win rate, which he scaled down to just >85%. At most he’s had ~$5K, of which he’s had to make withdrawals for living expenses. Of course if you bothered reading his journal you wouldn’t jump to these conclusions.
My post clearly relates to posters of this type in the whole, not specifically this guy here.
But I am sure some of them are indeed making lots of money and are happy to tell us all so. Do you not think some at least of them who say they are making lots of money really are making lots of money?
I don’t get this, is @darthdimsky the journal police, WTF?
At the end of the day this is a public forum and anyone can comment as they choose as long as they’re not violating the terms and conditions set out by the creators or this forum. As far as I can tell @PhoneticNachos is a grown up and can handle himself. If he feels he is being harassed, he has the ability to report.
For all it worth I agree with a lot what you say but reading the post when you laid into mattymoney when he said he more interested in how he made his money rather how much I thought you was abit strong
I’m not reporting anyone. I said if the OP has problems with what’s being posted by any member, he has that option and probably doesn’t need big brother fighting his battles, if there even are any.
That’s an excuse to gang up on someone who didn’t pick a fight with anyone. What business do all of you have piling up on a guy who’s done nothing to you? This is what intrigues me.
If you have the right to question his actions I surely have the right to question yours. If you don’t like it take it up with the mods.
I like how everyone’s conveniently everyone endorses @Tomorrow21 description of the OP’s behavior… Instead of pointing out the inconsistencies and false statements that were used to go after the OP, you’ve decided that I’m at fault for questioning these inconsistencies. That’s been very revealing tbh.
The OP has only come here to boast that he’s a really good trader. Which I am sure he is. I respect good trading. I’m sure that some wannabe traders take encouragement from the knowledge that it is possible to make money trading.
But I despise boasters. Boasters just want to wave their male appendage about and shout look at me I’ve got a great big male appendage and its bigger than yours. I hope the OP hasn’t come here for these reasons. I’m sure nobody disagrees with me on this.
Where has he boasted and what is his boast exactly? Point out that pattern of behavior in mutliple posts. Go for it. Because I can point out the specific posts where he’s been very accommodating to the friendly questions he’s received.
You’ve made a number of false statements and assumptions about the OP based on just the subject title of his post. You haven’t bothered communicating with him. You’ve allowed your preconceived notions and insecurities to make false judgement. That is top notch arrogance on your part.
Yes, I haven’t communicated with him. All I’ve done is read his posts. As this is a forum I thought that would be a good way to understand what he’s about and what he wants. And now I think I do. He so far only seems to want to be recognised as a great trader, based purely on trust. I have no reason to believe he’s lying.
Then point out where he’s been boastful and where he’s claimed to want recognition as a great trader purely on trust? I don’t see these posts at all. Point them out for all of us to see.
