That is absolutely true.

That is absolutely untrue.

I won't argue with U Dude, just for the sake of dispute. I respect Your opinion whatever it might be. Just never agree, and of course i 'd rather specify: 90 % of cases.

@Necronomicon, I'd just like to know what your basing your figure on? How many anti-traders are you friends with? and how many of them used to trade? In my experience the figure is much smaller. So I'm afraid I'm going to have to call bullshit.

I like Your style , sear. I won't name people, though. Friendship differs from being torrent - buddy, honey. And, well, I do not give a sad f*ck what U call bull-stool. Just amazing how sophisticated U are. I have my opinion, and I just won't start to discuss it with U here. I 've been some time around...Not necessarily here, not with this name. Managed to get buddies with lots of nice guys. And traders are as nice as U, so-called "Anti-traders". U are hypocrites in most cases - former (or current) traders, with aliases. Bet U one of them, honey. A sad trader.

Thank you. I can't say I disagree and your entitled to not give a fuck.

Just amazing how sophisticated U are. I have my opinion, and I just won't start to discuss it with U here.

Why not? as good a place as any.

I 've been some time around...Not necessarily here, not with this name. Managed to get buddies with lots of nice guys. And traders are as nice as U, so-called "Anti-traders".

Agreed, many traders are nice and I get along with a lot of them just fine, even though I disagree with their choices and believe it's bad for the bt community. I also don't lump them all together I prefer to take people on their individual merits so please don't catagorise me.

U are hypocrites in most cases - former (or current) traders, with aliases.

Sadly this can be true (bastards) but I disagree with it being most.

Bet U one of them, honey. A sad trader.

Nope, I could get angry about this but you don't know me so it's ok. I'm not and have never been a trader just for your info and please don't call me honey I find it offensive.

btw I'm just disagreeing with you here not attacking you personally, just so you know I'm interested in debate not flaming

You don't want to discuss but you're ok with making biased and dubious accusations. The main purpose of a forum is discussion. Share ideas, views and thoughts. Don't turn this into a flame war.

We can't stop here! This is bat country!!

Ok, sorry, did not mean to offend U.

In fact I did some search, and learned that U are a devoted Anti-Trader. BTW, U were invited to Bit-Esc, weren't U?
So let's get reasonable. my thesis - and here comes Your parathesis. R U in?
1. Axiome. Most antitraders originate of traders. When they have what they wanted, they just quit. So it is not a moral issue, but rather a practical, IMHO.

No worries I have thick skin

Yes I am devoted to not trading (not that it takes devotion I just don't do it). But on the same token I don't go out trolling looking to fuck with traders. I prefer to do my thing and perhaps influence by example not nagging/hounding.

Yes I was in Bit-Esc for a short amount of time but I quickly realised it wasn't for me, before this thread was posted btw.

And it's true some anti-traders begin as traders. Some quit when they have what they want or are scammed. Others quickly see what's at stake and decide to get what they want by making friends. I myself am always a little suspicious of ex-traders who've suddenly seen the light. I feel that they will start trading again as soon as there is something they want and can't get any other way. Though that is not always the case some are just sick of the game, and it is never too late to change

I disagree with your figure of 90 percent. In my experience it's not most at all, more of a 60/40 split on the side of never having traded or at most 50 percent.
