Rewarding yourself

	LMAO brownsfan, You take the cake (and can keep it). Why so incredibly defensive? Not only does it not say "sales people make bad traders" but you take name calling to a special level. Very small. James. I can't be bothered with his sort. Hope the site rises above him. Good luck.

Kiwi - you want to call me obtuse and then act like you did nothing wrong? Give me a break. For the record, no name calling was done on my part. That was initiated and started by you. In an attempt to understand what the point of your post was, you could not explain like an adult, you resorted to name calling.

So, when you refer to someone as obtuse and then wonder why they are defensive, either 1) you have no idea what that word means or 2) got called out and ran with your head between your legs.

Enjoy your time ET, I'm sure I'll see you over there. :p

	Hi guys, Let's do our best here to respect each others opinion and keep the debates constructive. No need for personal attacks and such. Please lets try to keep it friendly and educational. Thanks

James - that is very easy to accomplish as long as people are willing to explain their opinions vs. resorting to name calling. Kiwi obviously did not have anything meaningful to share, so he did what my 3 yr old nephew does.

I dont want to point any fingers here at all. Both of you guys (brownsfan and Kiwi) have made great contributions to the forum and would hate to see any disputes. Let's crush this heat and try to get along?

James, I agree. As you can see by reading the posts, I was not the attacker here. As Kiwi knows, any good trader has an ego and when attacked, most people will fight back. That's a simple human response.

I have to assume that Kiwi thought by using a fancy word like 'obtuse' that his comment would be taken lightly. As far as I am concerned, it's the same thing as saying you are stupid. I may not have my thesaurus handy like Kiwi, but the meaning of the word is the same.

This may be off-topic, but just to provide some perspective as to what triggered all of this. Words DO have specific meanings....calling someone obtuse who recognizes the nuance of this word, will provoke a reaction (providing, of course, that they're not really obtuse after all )....

Thank you very much sir. Exactly what I was trying to explain here.
