I agree with barney: I’d like to suggest that when we all raise points and observations (particularly by the more senior traders – both in terms of age and experience), that we do so in an accepting, respectful, and inclusive fashion.

We need to remember that forums like this work best when people feel welcome to comment, and are encouraged to post. I think it’s great that we have such a strong pool of talent to draw from, and there is something appealing about the diversity of styles, wouldn’t you agree?

If we aggressively tear into genuine posts, this may stifle the rich flow of sharing ideas. The danger is, if there’s too much negative criticism and people feel they are “under the microscope”, this will act as a disincentive for people to post up their ideas. This applies to intermediate, beginner, and even advanced traders.

Let’s embrace the members who post genuine examples for the benefit of illustrating their style. Just think about it this way. It’s about the tone, not the content. How would you like to be treated if you posted your work up? Sure we are all going to have our perspective, but just think about the possible avenues of discussion that can be inspired from one poster having the courage to post as coyotte has done here.

What I’d like to see are constructive responses such as the way bunyip and wavepicker assertively raised their points. This is an excellent example of how to respectfully address a post, and yet outline valuable observations. Let’s encourage people to post, no matter how basic or complex, and try to foster an inclusive ethos.

P.S. Hey, I’m including myself here too… we all need to keep raising the “diplomatic” bar higher! - not too high though! Hahahaha - got to have some fun too! Mag.
