Maybe you should read a little more of this thread. If you did, you'd see how your post comes across as having almost zero value. It looks as though you only want to "stir the pot".

While we all agree that if you are trading, you have to "deal with" the manipulation and illegal activities of "others", there are some who do nothing but sit around and cry about it and there are some who attempt to change the future so that illegal activities are curtailed. Attempting to discuss future changes may appear to some that the thread is "chasing windmills", to others it is a place to gather information in an attempt to shed some light onto the currently dark places.

As you know, there is a HUGE difference between the thread's header: NAKED SHORTING, and those who legally short stocks.

Your comments imply that traders should accept those who do things illegally and this thread is about the exact opposite of that approach. I acknowledge that illegal activities exist but I don't have to look the other way. Most of the people who contribute to this thread would like to see the market's rules changed to reduce the amount of illegal activity.

If you short legally, good for you. If you are one of the many people involved in illegal naked shorting and illegal market manipulation, then there will come a time when the light will be shown on you and your illegal activities. If you are profiting from illegal activities, I hope they throw the book at you!
