Guys,

You know I really enjoy my daily read of all the new posts here in MoneyTec. I have several that I subscribe to, but basically just about read everything available. There is some very good stuff amongst it all, and there is some not so good.

What is really annoying me at the moment, is the several clashes of egos we have on different forums. This is becoming a bit of a pattern where one person has a method or an opinion, and then one other will go out of their way to bring this person down. This then turns ugly and becomes personal.

People are entitled to their opinions - granted. There is nothing wrong with constructive (polite) criticism and I am sure if their method/opinion/system is flawed, it will be there for the whole membership to see.

The beauty of forums like this, it is a place where traders from all over the world can get together and discuss different ideas. This may lead to improving your own methods or helping someone else with theirs. Trading can be a very lonely adventure and very boring at times, so it is good to have decent contact like this with others.

What I am asking is that we respect each others opinions and leave the nastiness out of the mix. I have no problems with critisism, it's just how it is presented that concerns me.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this and good luck to you all with your trading.
