Title: Is This Troll Invasion Part 2?
Post by: Bit_Happy on June 19, 2011, 08:33:47 PM
I understand todays events are dramatic and negative. We seem to have a huge amount of low post count people starting threads like "RIP Bitcoin", for example. Is this Troll Invasion Part 2 or are people really acting this way?

So you think "they" are on duty again today?
I guess it's obvious, but do you really think entry-level CIA agents are posting here today?*

*and maybe even their boss?    :D

Well, Corporate zealots take jobs with the Federal Gov, and the Feds get prime positions as top-ranking Corporate zealots, correct?

Those with low post counts (like myself) are mostly not miners. They are not biased and they are without self-interest. In short, they can give much more impartial opinions.

Those of us who are bears (that is my current position) are now labelled trolls because we can see some negatives in this currency.

This is not a "bitcoin supporters forum". You all should be willing to debate the economics and not resort to the FAQ each time you are challenged. A FAQ is not gospel and Satoshi Nakamoto is not God.

It's one thing to question the currency with logical and valid concerns, its another to spread gloom and doom based on insubstantial evidence. Can you blame us for getting tired of answering the same objections over Andover and over again?

P.S. I'm not referring specifically to you, bit cola, as I don't think of read any of your posts before so I have no idea what you write about.
