What's the big, I say what's the big idea. Don't stand there gawkin' son, speak up....
That's a great idea your namesake had, frankly. But I think the problem AJ's having with you is that while you follow the above, you haven't even held true to your admirable idea that "Debating with facts and evidence are the tools of those holding fast to the truth"
To wit: <<OJ thinks I am always picking on him, but actually he is the best contrarian indicator I have!! I'd be lost without him! >>... might contain a personal truth, but is hardly supported with reams of evidence. It comes across as, well, filler.
I can't speak for AJ (well, I can on Tuesdays as he's given me that permission, but alas, it's Thursday). Still, I suspect that he gives Jerry some freedom because love him or hate him, think he's a terrible trader or a good one, Jerry does try and answer questions and does post links to his reads and has for some time. Debating the MERIT of those reads and calls is ultimately pointless. Debating the calls... and offering alternate reads in a timely manner... and trying to work together so we can all recognize methods/posters that work for us should be the goal. Again, for instance, the posts today about what a shakeout pattern is or isn't, and whether we've had one was informative. The name calling and belittling was not. I see enough of that with the youngsters I have to deal with. To see it here is... well... weirdly oddly entertaining in a sad sad way.
This is all easy for me to say, of course. I'm a freep and therefore flawless. But boy, I say boy... be a big rooster and strive for a higher purpose.
