I am not very surprised that this thread has been designed to be Monero's PR campaign. I'm not really into posting on forums, but I've been watching XMR PR closely for some time and I have something to add to this insanity. Based on the writing styles I'm pretty sure that certain accounts in this thread are maintained by a much smaller group of people led by a decent PR expert. I was not really into saying anything... until the 12th page where shit becomes totally ridiculous.

Beg me pardon gentlemen but that is what we may call ninja-PR. For those unfamiliar with the basics here's a small cookbook.


Monero ninja-PR cookbook, recipe 24

First, you use unverified facts to discredit every single CryptoNote currency (regardless of the real facts) and CryptoNote itself.

Second, a couple of your talking heads and a few of your "supporters" attack each and every CryptoNote coin supporters that enter this thread. Regardless of facts, perfectly clear opinions, and logic. Just act aggressively, blame them, make them explain themselves, and you're good. And don't forget to troll.

Third, you start flooding the thread with irrelevant posts to weaken the contrast between steps 2 and 4. Better let the topic stop being hot before you proceed with this step though.

Fourth, you make amateur unexpectedly positive statements about Monero's perspectives. But you better lay it on your "supporters", you're not supposed to be controlling their actions, right? And of course you may go back to the first point, rethink your strategy, and let the "third party" tell the "truth".

Fifth, you walk into the thread like a boss and give a couple of smart short statements that your PR agent has prepared for this small chat on the thread. Maybe the media will like it, who knows.


So?

Little bit too obvious, really. You're not bad guys, you're just acting horribly. Stop being so arrogant, it's going to kill the whole idea, seriously.
