Not in public forums.

The challenge in communicating aggressively with others, disagreeing with them, arguing with them, etc., is to find the right words to get the point across without a constant stream of obscenities. Using such language in "normal" conversation, rather than just occasionally for effect as many do on AVLV, says far more about the speaker than it does about his targets.

Here's a little something from a popular website. Not that I think it will have much effect on you:

In many English-speaking communities, expletives also carry connotations of lower classes and lower economic standing. Although people from every economic level use swearwords, many people associate their use with people of lower income and education.

....and yes, I am a very experienced trader. So, please, what did you short?

No you didn't. Why lie?

> Ask about what it means to SELL SHORT.

You don't have any money. You've admitted you don't have any money. So
you couldn't have possibly sold *anything* short. (Note that even if
you had any money, the complete lack of details makes your post
impossible to believe).

What you forget Mikey is that the rest of the world isn't as stupid as
you. Everybody reading this knows you have no money (if, for no other
reason, because you said so!). And they know how market work (unlike
you, who just knows a few words.) So they know you sold nothing short
and didn't make any money.

Why do you tell such bad lies?

This may be my favorite thing you posted yet. People who have met you
know how to make money and are happier in their lifes ? Steve and
Andrew sure are lucky guys. And of course you're right, they post all
the time about what a real friend you are.

My experience on this group has been that everyone I met was more or
less like I expected him to be in real life. While it's certainly not
out of the question that you and trout are innocent 13-year old girls,
I doubt it, because those tend to be able to express themselves
properly, have some sort of reading comprehension and aren't morally
compromised enough to be bigots.
