Softechie, I have repeatedly asked you to refrain from taking "potshots" at posters here. I told you that nobody here appreciates your one-liners and that they are disruptive. You have ignored all of our requests to refrain from disrupting this board. The regulars who have posted here for over a year, have invested hundreds, even thousands of hours on their research. We asked you for a detail of your market position and you refused. Yet you have the nerve to intimidate our posters. You have even stated that it is your intent to disrupt the flow of this board. . .and even asked others to help you in your disruption. You have violated the SI terms of use by your threatening tone, your disruptions and your off-color demeanor on other boards. Your posts shown on your profile are your thumbprint: Member 7375056 All of that aside, I am mostly put off because you have wasted MY TIME away from helping others to make money. . and away from my own trading! . . . .by forcing me to address this issue of your childish behavior. I do not appreciate my time wasted! . . or the time of other traders here wasted. I have received many complaints about your disruptive posts, each of which I had to send a reply. Many here have already put you on ignore. That is not sufficient for me. You have had your chances to straighten up. I now regret giving you a second and third chance. You chose not to refrain from taking potshots. Now I would like you to leave this thread for good. Sincerely, Rande Is
