Kenny: Your threats of law suit are laughable. Please do it!! I said the notes were in the 56 Thread and they were. I have no idea when I first wrote you but if you have a record of when I subscribed, and can provide that date, you can find the notes about you in the thread, I'd say they were posted within a week or so of the date I first wrote you for a subscription. You and I had a brief (and cordial) correspondence then, and you may have a record of it. That will help define the time frame. I don't have a clue when it was but it was quite some time ago. You know, you guys weren't attacked: you attacked me. I posted my thought about the bear flag and you came out and posted a nasty little note, followed by several others, each taking your turns at bashing me. I guess it's your turn again. If you feel that I attacked "one of your own" by disagreeing with a TA interpretation, there isn't much room for intellectual growth in your little insular group. I notice you have absolutely nothing to contribute on the subject of this thread! And you complain about my contribution, which is about TA? ROFL! --Linda

Yeah- Ken I was wondering that myself- how in heavens name would you have the time or inclination to read the 56 thread ( I am not knocking it- but I know your busy schedule)- after all there are 22000 posts on there. As far as I can see your research appears to be genuine and original. One thing I have noticed is that when the net becomes a peeing contest as to who is right and who is wrong then the good aspects of open and honest discussion are destroyed. Most of the good people tend to leave fine establishments such as SI. I expect the next target will be Doug R.- who initiated the 56 thread and recently complimented Claud on this thread. exchange2000.com That is a sure fire way to get wet. g

Generally speaking, there's no point in replying to a person who has symmetriphiliac obsessions, i e. compulsive tit-for-tat behavior, and who probably is a pathological hand-washer also. Such a person will just go on coming back with some kind of captious and irrelevant reply. Let a professional goat-getter take the goat and leave. We have all encountered this type in the sandbox. Every time you pick up a toy they grab it. They stamp on your Easter eggs. They follow you around saying "Now it's my turn!" Their private habits are exceedingly bizarre and include meaningless rituals, such as insisting that all the potatoes in the drawer be lined up according to size. To argue with or to confront them is comparable to reasoning with a briar patch. It's better just to walk around it. I think that if we are just all real quiet, after a while this thing will go away and Claud will come back.

Off-topic: Ken: I don't know why it is, but increasingly I find myself feeling mentally unwell. Perhaps it's because of recent reversals in my trading. I find that I'm overly sensitive when it comes to my own feelings, but completely insensitive toward others. I even think I'm developing some of the symptoms of paranoia. I'm more and more argumentative, critical, outspoken, sullen, stubborn, suspicious and generally unable to get along with others. My opinions are more rigid, and my apparent self-confidence conceals insecurities and extreme self-consciousness. I've developed feelings of resentment toward others, feelings of persecution. I feel that groups of people are conspiring against me, prying into my affairs. I revive -- or imagine -- incidents of the past to support my suspicions, my contentions, and give them new interpretation. I've heard this behavior called "retrospective falsification," and heard it described as a symptom of paranoia, and I'm concerned. As my delusions expand, any incident, however trivial, has overvalued significance, and no amount of argument can change my attitude. I know I am right, and my paranoia doesn't allow me to think otherwise. More and more, I'm given to morose contemplation of my failures in trading, and I try to fix the blame for those failures on others. I know this thread wasn't intended as a mental health forum, but can you recommend anything that might help me? Brooke
