[quote=icecream]I'll take that as an apology. Don't f*** with me again, exproprietary, I have put up with my fair share of bs from management, compliance, the markets, fees, tire kickers and d****** brokers who think they are hot ca ca. I got all of my licenses in the previous century. You and that devil character who is pretending he is God need to have a little respect. Tell me your broker dealer doesn't get kickbacks on some of your crappy little managed funds, Mister Non Prop. [/quote]

Yeah, I'm the negative one. Had some bad experiences huh?  And if you've been around longer than 10 minutes you know respect is earned, it's not a freebie.

I was gonna give you a little respect for knowing what prop is but you ruined it by giving me crap after I apologized so now you're back to square one.

You do come across as negative. I hope you get the point. We're in the selling busines, remember?

I ruined it by giving you crap? What are you, the sensitive passive aggressive s*** flicker from the cave?

I come across as negative because this forum was destroyed by people whose only purpose here was to create havoc and they did.  Whether it's right or wrong anyone new I suspect as having been banned until the quality of their posts prove otherwise.

And yes you ruined it.  When someone apologizes the correct reponse is to accept the apology, not try to incite another arguement.

Okay, you sound like a nice guy.

It's just a little hard to take you seriously, with your signature.

Sorry for inciting, some of these holier than thou morons from your home cave have been annoying and you caught my wrath.

One of them insulted a cave I have been investigating as a possible home.

Please put your cave leader on notice that ca ca flickers from your home cave will receive the butt end of a long two by four if they cross icecream here.

I'll admit to being a little bitter about having this forum taken over by trolls. 

My "home cave" has alot of useful information that is not possible here because of the open format.  It's more restrictive because it's more conducive to sharing information without worrying about outside forces such as trolls, wannabes, and your dreaded compliance.

What you perceive as "holier than thou" I see as confident and experienced.  I have learned more useful presentation strategies in a month there than I did in a year here.

Fair enough. I respect the right for you and your people to live peacefully and it sounds like a really good place for you and your kind.

I like to blog on the Wall Street Journal economic section, and a few other internet spots, and generally spend too much time blogging,  so this seems to be an efficient  meeting ground, but I can't bear to witness registered reps giving each other grief, these are my people.

Where will have more fights, a public park, or a country club?

We can do this all night by the way, sleep is a waste of time.

Good point, my friend. I know both worlds, that is the curse of having the skill set necessary to survive in this business, as you well know.

I would say, though, that is more than an addictive way, the story of the forum is compelling, and the black and white are almost perfectly balanced, but it doesn't always seem that way.

At this point, sleep is a good investment!

I'll sleep when I'm dead but you go right ahead
