Question about position sizing when taking a short position

[Falstaff]

I HAVE TO CHANGE

No Martin, what L-C said was;

The only realistic way to resolve this issue is for you to change your posting-style. Which, according to some of your recent posts, you’ve expressed yourself as being willing to do, and I welcome that and thank you for it.

Significantly different IMHO from the way you chose to confront the invitation.

i apologize for any inconvenience caused

@Falstaff
and another thing though
he also said this…

Nobody posting in a forum should have to meet anyone half-way, or any other proportion of the way, to anywhere.

followed by …

The only realistic way to resolve this issue is for you to change your posting-style.

so… tell me IN YOUR OPINION
how do you interpret this

I INTERPRET IT AS
he is not willing to change
he doesn’t care
he just wants me to change

now… understand
I’m not being arrogant or stubborn
but i’m sensing a lot of rudeness here and non co-operation
tha’ts the way i interpret it
based on this…

should have to meet anyone half-way,

so… his morals and his levels of belief of what is right and wrong tells him that Negotiation, Co-Operation and Give and Take are not options nor is compromise
and that no one on this forum should have to do any of the above

in my opinion if a person holds that belief , you can’t get anywhere and there will always be argument because a sense of negotiation or compromise does not exist.
and therefore only selfishness is present.
that’s how i see it

so… how do you interpret it ? for the record

Martin - Two posts ago, (post 69) you have quoted me as saying something which I believe I never did say.

Please explain ?

[anon81929759]

@Falstaff
ok, no problem
what was that thing that i said that you believe you did not say
can you put a screenshot of it up and i’ll do my best to explain it

i do realize you referenced Post 69, however i can’t see numbers on posts, i don’t know how to find them like that.
i usually rely on people to copy Quotes in

so get that to me and i’ll explain whatever i said… ok
no problem

[Falstaff]

Two posts ago, (post 69) you have quoted me

There is your reference

[Edit submitted before you denied that you can see the post numbers ]

[anon81929759]

what ???
where is the reference ?
i don’t understand

[Edit submitted before you denied that you can see the post numbers ]

and is this supposed to be sarcasm ??
mate, i can’t see numbers ok
i really have no idea where Post 69 is ok
i didn’t DENY i SAID… i can’t see them
there’s a difference
you make it sound like i’m lying.

so where is the screen of what you said you did not say
and of what i mistquoted you as saying
and ill explain it

[Falstaff]

This is it ;

you’ve expressed yourself as being willing to do, and I welcome that and thank you for it.

PLease rectify it.

[anon81929759]

ok… I understand

that’s a COPY OF A QUOTE FROM YOUR POST
YOU SAID THAT

how could i copy the quote if you didn’t ?
and if i copied from the wrong person, how is your avatar there ?

Mate, you did say this
and i appreciated it (For the record)

what’s wrong with it anyway ?

[anon81929759]

HANG ON… SOMETHING IS WEIRD HERE…

I just looked back through the posts
it would appear that @LaughingCharlie said it

as per this screenshot of the post

ok. so i guess that charlie said it
but now i don’t understand this

how can your avatar be in the original quote that i posted when charlie said it.
I’m confused

ok… i accept now that you did not say it… fair enough
and clearly i got you and charlie confuses in all the arguments

but how does your avatar end up there… i don’t get that

ok, but in conclusion

YOU TECHNICALLY DIDN’T SAY IT
so…

even though i don’t understand why it’s a big deal

TELL ME : WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO EDIT AND I’LL EDIT IT

[Falstaff]

ok… I understand

that’s a COPY OF A QUOTE FROM YOUR POST
YOU SAID THAT

how could i copy the quote if you didn’t ?
and if i copied from the wrong person, how is your avatar there ?

Mate, you did say this
and i appreciated it (For the record)

what’s wrong with it anyway ?

Show me where I said it - I never did !

The quotation in my post was from @LaughingCharlie i believe - but you have incorporated it as being a quote from me !

PLease rectify it !

[anon81929759]

@Falstaff
ok mate… Relax… we are working on it… ok

i interpret this

Show me where I said it - I never did !

as you being pissed off… ok
clearly THIS IS A MISTAKE SOMEHOW… RELAX … IT’LL BE FIXED OK

clearly it was done in error
and i still don’t know why your avatar is there, but maybe that’s what contributed to the error , maybe it’s something that the script on this site does

but irrespective IT’S AN HONEST MISTAKE… ok
so… relax and give me a bit to look through the entire post… ok

I’ll get back to you when it’s done.
is that cool

[anon81929759]

Thank you mate, appreciate it

[anon81929759]

@Trendswithbenefits
Exactly… HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL

What a “Fuster Cluck” of a Thread… It’s no longer even in the same universe as the OP’s question.

[anon81929759]

@Ben1987
thank you Ben
that’s basically all correct mate
it’s what i’ve been trying to say from the beginning

thank you

[anon81929759]

Martin - Two posts ago, (post 69) you have quoted me as saying something which I believe I never did say.

Please explain ?

@Falstaff

ok mate, I’ve just spent all that time looking through EVERY SINGLE POST ok
and trying to weed out ANYTHING that i may have misquoted you on

I think i got it all

have a look and tell me what you think
are you happy with the edit ?

let me know

also i think an explanation is in order

after reading all this
i can see what happened

i got caught up in talking to you and charlie and at one point the posts (sort of blended into one) if you know what i mean.
point is… it was not malicious or intentional
it was simply done in error

i have apologized for my error
I hope this makes it cool

let me know if there’s anything else… ok

[_bob]

Oh let it go people.

[anon81929759]

@Falstaff
Mate… it’s 3am here in sydney … ok
i know you’re online

i took the time to read through the whole post ok
i got up out of bed FOR YOU
to edit WHAT YOU ASKED ME TO EDIT

the least you could do is answer my question

1. do you agree with the edit
2. is there anything else

let me know if there’s anything else… ok

I’m waiting for you to respond so we can put this behind us. ok

Oh Martin.

No need to do that - mate

You’re right - it is a defect in the software somewhere I was expecting you to work it out - mate

Here’s a freebie for the next time

• Edit
• Go to “quote”
• manually change the name
• submit edit

Like this ;
