So here is the smoking gun:

This is what some do, attempt to “steal” posters from the ole SD thread
by posting “advertising” for their favorite thread on SD, IF this cannot
be done by private messages.
When SD posters are having a good day the strategy seems to be that the
attacks become more virulent and plentiful. It should be noted, if the SD
thread were not read by the “expatriots“, then no one would know when they were having
a good day. Or that they were making plastic chihuahua jokes, ggg.
Here are some examples from yesterday:

I have some objections to these type of posts. One is that they did
not originate from posts on the HTP thread. Therefore they did not
result from a thread intrusion, a personal argument that is contemporary
but rather from old hurts and injuries to the ego from SD battles long
past.
IMHO, posters reacting to old ego injuries in this manner do not have a
thick enough hide to be traders.
Given the animosity that has developed between old posters of SD, perhaps
the HTP thread was a good idea. However the dropping of bombshells on SD from the protected moderated
thread of HTP seems unfair to me. No equal time is available and the attacks seem to have no contemporary
SD basis for their origin.
If Slider and Iso were so hopeless as investors or traders and so antagonizing as
posters , then why read their posts at all??
Afraid you are missing something, besides a good whoppin', ggg?
I do not have the time or inclination to run a moderated thread, which some have suggested. However,
I believe that some response is required and there is one that fits my limited available time.
It’s simple. Post a bombshell on SD that is not pertinent to the days discussion,
whether that discussion be dinosaur bones or gold or API’s and you go on ignore from me. Forever and
always and in all ways, PM or whatever.
I never change decisions to ignore a poster.
Sure, I may miss out on some gems, like JQP’s ROILY just as an example, (PS, good one JQP) but I have
more gems than money to invest in for a long time to come.
So I’m not trying to continue a thread war, but at least for myself, I am going to end it.
Best of luck all ...
and go gold, ggg!
