Title: What about any of the posts I've seen would entice anyone to join/adopt bitcoin?

Seriously, between the posts about scamming, about people selling pirated copies of things, to people being just downright cynical and rude to other people, what exactly about any of this would entice someone to join bitcoin? I have to say, bitcoin may be growing, and there may be adoption in some places but if I were a serious business looking at bitcoin right now, and went to do some research about the people who enjoy it, or have anything to do with it, and came across this board I wouldn't want anything to do with it.

The real question is...do you make any posts that don't sound like a sobbing little girl?  :-\

This times a thousand.

@OP It's like you're new to the internet. If you think this is bad, try hanging around game cheating forums. Scam someone $5? They'll do their best to grab your IP address and DDoS you as long as possible.

The internet doesn't trust anyone.

The answer is, do you have anything constructive to say or do you just enjoy posting crap like this?

Uh, no sir I've been around the internet a while. It never used to be like this, I know places that are worse than this 1000x but from what I've seen on this forum it's almost as if you are set up to fail. I know this is in direct correlation to what I posted on your topic about whatever the hell it was that I've forgotten about, and that's fine. Is it possible to maybe have a little faith in people? I mean I don't find that too hard to believe.

And yet here you are. Since you have formed such a low opinion of bitcoiners from reading this forum, why are you still here? Or is it the case that you can actually see past all the noise and notice that quite a lot of us are intelligent human beings? If so, then you need not worry because you wouldn't be the only one to see this.

In all honesty, I don't think most Bitcoin adopters at an interaction-only level would actually browse these forums. I don't think it really matters all that much.
