Some on this board may appreciate your investment/trading/life philosophy lectures, but I find condescension tiresome.

Don't let my posts bother you. Just ignore me, please."

What makes you think they bother me? You make a statement and I see another approach or perspective and therefore respond. Some like it, others don't...that's life. So I would offer your words back and pose the same recourse for you....but I'd rather you weren't offended by my remarks in the first place but were willing to see them as another avenue whether it was something you could buy into or not. Taking offense at anothers ideas offered honestly is in itself an opportunity for personal discovery.
