No one has said that. I thought that I would add:
"of course someone might decide not to look at their results even if they do not have tilting problems at all, it is just personal preference"
But I thought that was not necessary.. Apparently it would have been necessary to state the obvious...
The problem is that few gave advice not to look at the graph and you said:
I have to agree with this.. I constantly look at my results. My HM2 is open next to the tables. I like this and seeing red doesn't affect me so much. Ofc if looking at the results get you to tilt it is recommended you don't look at those while playing.
I do not mind you looking at graph, but as Hero described, this affected his clear decision making.
It will be better if not watching those graphs for him.
I agree with the stop-loss idea but it should be done in another way.
That quote is out of context? I specifically said that I agree with this:
There is NOTHING inherently wrong or flawed with checking your graph in-play.
And then I told that I'm also looking my results while I play because I like it and it doesn't affect me so much. Then I said to hero that if looking at results get you tilted you should not do that. How can you interpret that the way it means looking at results while playing makes you better?
Is this the point where I get to say to you "READ CAREFULLY!" 
Man, I read carefully and do not like your change of thoughts. It is wrong to watch constantly if it affects your decisions.
You should READ CAREFULLY.

I answer

Meaning that I agree that it is not wrong to check the graph while playing. I didn't say you should look at it. I said I look at my graph. Then I said if you find it disturbing don't do it. So I tell what I do and then I tell that I don't recommend it to someone who tilts when looking at the results. Nothing weird here? Then I tell about stop-loss which requires you to look at the results from time to time. I didn't mean that everyone should use stop-loss. That was just an idea. Everything clear so far I hope..
In my next post
If you think not looking results will help you then you can of course disable the results from your HM
Then some irritating debate about something stupid with BradNitt and then I say
All I'm saying is that I don't care if someone looks at the results or not. If disabling them helps, then go ahead. Still not looking at the result sounds like a temporary fix to a bigger problem. Just like stop-loss.
Then I get frustrated with BradNitt and you somehow conclude that this doesn't mean that always looking at the graph/profit/loss makesyou play better.
Oh yeah? Who has said that?
Then I told you that I did not say that. Then you say to me that you don't like my change of thoughts. Where the hell is my change of thoughts? Then you say It is wrong to watch constantly if it affects your decisions.
But I specifically stated that it doesn't effect me.BTW:
You said "The problem is that few gave advice not to look at the graph"
If you meant that a couple of guys told not to look at the graph, it is a few not few because few means not many, a few means at least someone said that. So I do read carefully... See?
I am not going to continue as I would say something that will insult you. Already told you I do not like the way you handled this... That's all.
Nah, no need to say things that can insult one another. The start of la55i I can see here that he agrees with one's point and make an argument about that point. In the end, he (himself) gives an opinion what he thinks about this issue.
What I mostly see here is that everyone has a different opinion and approach towards it and it should be that way because you should work on things that only work for you. I like these opinions because it gives people like me a broad view of what could work for me. I have read perspectives, which I even haven't considered till now
nitrol you are a well respected reg on this forum and la55i just proved his share of pro-activeness as well. It is very easy to spot flaws in one's answer. A bigger challenge would be to ask the right question. Many poker books argue that those who ask questions rather than giving answers, grow the fastest in the game.
So what about asking a question when you are confused and perceive some inconsistency in one's answer?
