Guy, just ignore him.  He's a kid.  Stick to responding to the legitimate questions and arguments.

Why do you put so much weight on somebody's age instead of show a willingness to defeat their points? If a kid told you blood was red, would you suddenly assume it wasn't?

I don't know if Atlas is 'a kid' and I don't really care, he makes reasoned points and has a strong understanding of what he's talking about, even if we don't agree on everything.

I'm interested in knowing whether you realize and/or care that this tax would destroy retailing trading, especially highly leveraged FX trading.

This is a legitimate point. The Tobin Tax is a bad idea.
