Your lesson for today: pique, not peek
"A state of vexation caused by a perceived slight or indignity; a feeling of wounded pride"
"to affect with sharp irritation and resentment, especially by some wound to pride"
That isn't an honest characterisation of mr.marcus and the behavior of others leading up to his decision to withdraw his contributions, is it Jon?
Would you like to tell the audience about the abuse and disrespect mr.marcus suffered after teaching his unique and hard won trading knowledge here, for free? And would you like to tell them who was then a moderator, supposedly responsible for keeping a civil environment? And who did not have the backbone to take the appropriate action against those who were misbehaving? Or should I tell them?
Or shall we talk about how the owner at the time, Paul Gould, barely kept an eye on his business and delegated moderation to a "community manager" who was more interested in reinstating the posting privileges of a member who had admitted to obtaining and publishing child pornography on this very site than in making any effort to foster a respectful, civilised discussion forum?
And perhaps certain new embers who have eyes to see might no longer wonder why the quality contributors left. I'd happily discuss all this because you're here to defend yourself, should you wish to.
Slagging Mark off when he isn't here to defend himself, after all he contributed to the members here, is cowardly, gutless, and bull****. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
