Who was/is this put trader and why was he banned from the messge boards?

He was w/Jones and their people are not allowed to mess w/complicated concepts like Puts, or Trading them.

Actually, he just said everyone young or inexperienced was an idiot and the USA is going to h*ll because he walked to school in a foot of snow uphill both ways, while trying to build a book at the same time, not to mention working 3 odd jobs on the side and raising his 16 brothers and sisters...and volunteering at the shelter and getting a 1600 on his SAT...and if the current generation can't keep up with his precedent, they aren't worth a nickel.

I'm paraphrasing, of course.

Actually, to the extent he was to be believed, he was NOT with jones but actually in management and living somewhere in Manhattan.  I think he was a mid-level leech at one of the large firms....say like Vice President of Paper Clip Supply or something like that.  Used to wax and wane on and on about his participation in NASD policymaking forums, as if that is something that would impress us....

He was sort of a sad tragic character really.  I could tell he was in fact somewhat intelligent, but was so busy trying to prove his importance to the rest of us that he came across in the end as just plain arrogant.....

I think he was/is bored with his job and nearing retirement and thought it would be fun (and it is!) to poke a stick into the snake pit and see what reactions he could get.  

Come on now, admit it you guys.......don't you take an exaggerated position sometimes on an internet forum just to get a reaction?

As to the age vs young punks attitude, I must say I agree in some respects.  Kids these days.....wadda gonna do

JoeDaMan and Babbling,

Definately agree with your assessments of old man Put. I used to love battling with that guy.
