I know Jax, there’s all sorts in the world these days and it seems that not even in trading/investing can you escape the types that need the computer screen to hide behind in order to spread their vitriol.
My kids get taught all about cyber bullying at school and actually the parallels with that and the sort of behaviour we witness on here day in and out are striking.
To be fair I agree with him, -10% today .
What do call the troll expert with a 4day old account? Jax the ramper
Easier said than done LimpingAlong I must admit.
Part of the reason I've taken such an issue with these people is due to understanding how disgusting it is that they derive pleasure from knowing others may be suffering. From day one they've ruined this board, literally from the minute it started so I had to join to fight back.
Just to give you all a definition:
"An Internet troll is someone who comes into a discussion and posts comments designed to upset or disrupt the conversation. Often, in fact, it seems like there is no real purpose behind their comments except to upset everyone else involved. Trolls will lie, exaggerate, and offend to get a response."
Have a look trolls. Does the above sound like you???
Chances are if you're having to say you're not a troll, then guess what you are???
Agreed Jax it is hard not to engage sometimes mostly due to the relentlessness of it sometimes, it’s like a sewer.
I must admit though I find the info you’ve posted quite useful in terms of getting my head around why they feel the need to do what they do, there is evidently more than meets the eye with some and I’ll try to keep that in mind before replying to some of the posts we get here.
Haha. LimpingAlong feel no shame my friend - you're more than welcome to repost anything from my posts.
Really good one by SlowBurner I think it was earlier.
What is wrong with these people. They act like saviours but have nothing of substance or anything intelligent to say apart from how much of a mistake it is to buy into this. So what? Why do they care. It really is baffling.
This is a risky play and if I lose my money then so be it. That's my problem. Some of them keep going on about the dangerous ramping hahaha. What ramping. There are more posts pointing out the 'ramping' then there are of ACTUAL RAMPING!
Now some more info:
"... a study was published that confirms what we all suspected: Internet trolls are horrible people.
...
They conducted two online studies with over 1,200 people, giving personality tests to each subject along with a survey about their Internet commenting behavior. They were looking for evidence that linked trolling with the "Dark Tetrad" of personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism.
They found that Dark Tetrad scores were highest among people who said trolling was their favorite Internet activity.
The next time you encounter a troll online, remember:
...
1. These trolls are some truly difficult people.
2. It is your suffering that brings them pleasure, so the best thing you can do is ignore them. "
I should take point 2 as advice myself. It's very hard not to engage with them. I've thrown most I'm the green bin but I'll keep posting information until they all go away :-)
The above is from a Canadian study btw.
Way oversold at the moment. Bounce should begin soon. Sellers cleared
Some people just don't like being told they might be wrong so they double down and call everyone trolls. Standard.
Never seen anything like this I must admit, so many people not invested in this bashing the s**t out of this since day 1, and supposedly here for the benefit of others and how dare someone who is invested be optimistic or excited by the prospects the future might hold.
These trolls are a disgrace, have no credibility, and are the garbage of the boards.
Shamelessly I’m reposting part of an earlier post which sums them up beautifully-
“Anyway now some info:
Psychological studies show trolls tend to be male, show higher levels of psychopathy traits — low levels of empathy, guilt and responsibility for their actions — and higher levels of sadism traits, the enjoyment of causing others physical and psychological pain.
Trolls are also motivated by what psychologists call "atypical social rewards".
