BTCitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending
Re: the slogan currently set in your profile:

The CliffsNotes response: You are doing this self-appointed job badly. The way you have been posting anything you find as a 'stream of consciousness' without much filtering, but with interpretation by you, needs to stop.
The Long Response:Just restricting this analysis to your recent posts about LFCity, what I find fascinating about your choice of sources, is that instead of linking to the small number of high quality articles available on the web, you concentrated on the trashy, deliberately misleading posts spewed in several places during 2002-2005 by disinfo agent 'Witchdoc' AKA 'Simon Jester' AKA 'uppity' (AKA several other aliases).
However, having lurked here at Bitcointalk for a few months, and getting a feel for how this place has been developing, unfortunately it's not surprising.
Applying the old joke to this board:
Bitcointalk posters require no physical fitness program. Everyone gets enough exercise jumping to conclusions, flying off the handle, knifing friends in the back, dodging responsibility and pushing their luck.1. Your current 'stream of consciousness' style makes it difficult to sift valid information from the irrelevant or most worrying of all, the unproven and false.
2. Reposting user-generated content from other boards without understanding - or perhaps caring about - the difference between alleged facts and checked out facts, but with the addition of your own interpretation, will get you into all kinds of trouble (both reputational and legal).
Those who use open-source intelligence understand the difference between alleged and checked out facts, and set a high bar to ensure that 'raw' alleged facts are not published.
3. The Bitcointalk community is toxic enough as it is, without adding libellous materials from other places, or making new posts that due to the carelessness with which they have been constructed, make them afresh, and even mint new libellous assertions.
You have already stated false things in this thread. They are not only false but are likely to cause provable harm.
In my next post I will point out your specific libels in more detail. How you (and the board moderators) are going to deal with cleaning up afterwards is the subject for later discussion, i.e. simply deleting the original posts is probably not the correct way to deal with it.
