Twitter is the work of the devil. Facebook is the work of an idiot. Drop all this stuff and save a whole heck of a lot of time this year.

Speaking of real trading, Willedo said he is down 40% and asked for help.
Willedo, Iām sure your trade/risk management is out of whack. Maybe not by much as it took you a long time to lose the 40%. So if it were me I would reduce my lot size to .01 or smaller and when trading stop when you have 2-3 losses in a row. Then go back to the school of Pipsology.

Hello everyone,
I did not mean to start some sort of argument over a former BabyPips member, hence why I did not
mention him at all: it was a reflection on something and a wish for civility on and off this site, among
current and former users.
I appreciate also that we can all make errors of judgment, and that people should be given at least
a second chance to make amends; also, what one person deems offensive may not be deemed thus
by another; finally, one member may be considered a ātrustworthy/niceā person for ages, then make
some derogatory or off-the-cuff remarks and newer users may not know all the good that he/she may
have done prior to his/her latest comments/actions.
Moral of the story: I am old enough to look after myself and to know how to avoid negative people,
so this was not a post (as some may have interpreted it) to get sympathy because I had been emotionally
scarred, rather, I wanted to share a personal reflection on something that undoubtedly is a fact of life
affecting most of us from time to time, simply put, coming across a person whose behaviour we find
completely objectionable.
Of course I appreciate the messages of support hugely, and they give me renewed hope in humanity,
but I should make it clear that my own self worth does not depend on being liked by a former/banned
member of this community.
Peace and prosperity to you all!

Losing makes traders grumpy 
and when they get grumpy the natural instinct is to lash out. I guess itās better to take out ones frustrations on anonymous strangers on the internet rather than on family and loved ones. However itās ungracious and I know Iāve been guilty of this. This year I resolve to be calmer yet remain unyielding to ignorance.

@BaconSandwich Someone peeād in my Wheaties that morning and I was being a little crass. I definitely could have gone about it a different way.
My apologies. I went ahead and deleted my posts to you

Happy New Year, guys!
@PipMeHappy so sorry about your neagtive experience. Itās never ok to be rude or abuse someone whether in a forum, Twitter or in person. This shows lack of intelligence, self-love and respect. People who think their opinion is always the right one and not accepting othersā visions discust me. Donāt let this disturb you. It can hurt only him but not you. And by the way, why donāt you share who this person is so that we all can see who attacked you.
If he is so angry with you, then probably jealousy has taken over.

youāre referring to majority of the world LOL thereās a lot of people that think they are always right, and donāt try to even view other perspectives. Itās crazy. Just because you believe in something doesnāt mean everyone else has to. Itās a pet peeve of mine also, on top of people thinking they know everything. Itās not a bad thing to admit you need or want help in something

Thanks @sebastiano and @justshell
The former member was Bob Bill Browneā¦
Sad situationā¦he continues with his
monologue on Twitter, full of insults to
whomever he dislikes on Babypips: I have not
seen a single ālikeā on his rants, so it is a
lonely conversation that he is having
with himself, seemingly.

Hi @PipMeHappy,
Sorry to be so horribly out of date, itās an appalling six months since you namedropped me in this thread. I pondered whether I ought to dredge it up at all, to be honest, but I thought it would be rude simply to ignore it.
But to be brief: Iām very sorry that you went through this. Frankly, the guy you referenced has a handful of āfollowersā, was never at the rational end of the spectrum on here (being frank, I personally simply didnāt like him) so in your position Iād be more worried if I found him agreeing with me. So donāt sweat it.
That said, itās never a pleasant thing, something like that, and Iām sorry that it happened to you. I am glad and honoured that you find other members of this community supportive and positive, I really am.
I wonāt ramble on at length as the topic has passed its shelf life, but thought I ought to pop in and offer a supportive āhiā. Hi.
(And have barely been on the site owing to extended building work at home - still trading, but have had to trim other things. Am still around, though, and coming out the other side.)

Hey, Simon!
Good to hear from you!
I hope you have finished your home improvements! Great time to do this, summer!
Bob(BillBrown) disappeared even from Twitter, so I am not sure if he had enough of
ranting in his echo chamberā¦ Perhaps that is a good thing, as long as he is not
just moving on to other social media platforms to carry on doing the same thing.
I took little notice after that, but it was a strange experience!
Thanks for dropping by, and good to hear from you!
My little one is now three years old!
Time flies!
