why are you defending him you could have his job??!!
anyway
1. - didn't read howards thread or didn't understand it
He certainly did read Howard's thread and understand it. (No one in their right mind would interview an options trader without at least understanding basic options theory.)
sorry this doesn't make sense. If he understood what howard was doing he would have never interviewed him in the first place, or at least should have pointed out the fundamental flaws (no view on spot, vols or skew) in his strategy during the interview.
2. - interviewed howard and published it anyway
Yes, he went ahead and published it anyway but, as I've explained, it wasn't a one way street - there were good reasons at the time for doing so.
no comment.
3. - kept quiet through the whole saga / hid behind the sofa
Keeping quiet is a policy I greatly admire in my colleagues. I could learn a lot from them in this regard. Usually, providing comment only serves to fan the flames. This post might be a case in point - depending upon the response it gets.
It was him that published the interview in the first place FFS! He is responsible! Why are you taking all the sh!t for his bad decision and the mods sitting on the fence?!
4. - only pipes up after I'm banned and is obv. well out of touch with what my complaint is
Your ban was only temporary - he knew that. So posting while you were banned was just coincidence. Trust me on this - he, the Mods and I understand fully the nature of your complaint.
And it's a fair complaint. But timsk you understand and seem to be dealing with it while the only people who can do something about it - mods or trader333 - don't and won't.
5. - doesn't justify it after besing asked ("I don't answer to you")
Unlike me, brevity is his string suit. Besides, he had a copy of my PM to you - so he knew that your concerns had been addressed.
err... no they hadn't been addressed, they had been replied to. I said "he doesn"t know what he's doing, he's trying to run a course, you are promoting him". tradetowin said "yes, we know" (well, that's the gist. If trader333 had read the thread he would have known that).
I would be fascinated to hear why some one who (allegedly) did read the thread and understand the content would even consider publishing an Interview with howard as responsible. Or even decent.
6. - hardly posts anything anyway
I can't speak for T333 regarding his level of posting. However, I can tell you why I post relatively little on trading related issues. The role I have pretty much prevents me from doing so. For example, I am interested in your posts on your Schlong thread, but I can't ask questions because, if I do, I expect there will be a deluge of lulzy posts saying stuff like 'T2W shoots itself in the foot (again) - appointing someone who clearly doesn't understand XYZ'. It's simply not worth the grief. I'm not complaining - just stating the situation as I see it.
Ask questions on the thread all you want. You would actually get more credibility if you did post/talk about trading, unlike most others on the tradetowin side. as it stands all I can see you post is cut and paste from other threads and write placating posts like this one. Well any idiot can do that so get involved with the trading stuff and let the idiots do idiots jobs!
I mean it would be stupid of someone on the tradetowin side does actually have interesting things to say (like you trade stocks don't you?) but didn't because of their role on the site. thats fubar.
7. - removed his apology from my april fool (just bad sport
He made a magnanimous gesture towards you and you threw it back in his face - what do you expect? C'mon DR - play fair!
Tim.
still bad sport IMO. It was a good aprils fools... on your FACE! LOL
anyway the interview with Howard has been taken down and all of howards new threads are nipped in the bud so lets just leave it. This result could have been achieved much earlier on if the people behind the scenes could organise a p!ss up in a brewery and/or stopped passing the buck and took responsibility.
