Felipe,

With all due respect, your title " trying to kill Satoshi Nakamoto and Bitcoin history" is clearly incorrect as they have defined the scope (see below) of what Satoshi related material can be asked.

David Perry gave you a nice, comprehensive response as to why they close the questions. I'm curious to why you don't agree with it.

I have no opinion on the matter, but if this makes you so passionate, I'm curious why,

Full Response Text:

A decision was made rather early on that Satoshi-related questions were to be killed on sight with fire and napalm and nuclear munitions. This was primarily because we were seeing a tremendous amount of Satoshi-related questions that were little more than rampant speculation about identity, nationality, where he was last seen and with who and while Satoshi may be a meaningful figure in the Bitcoin world he's not Bitcoin itself and is therefore off-topic.

Similarly, we will kill with fire similar questions about Trendon Shavers (PirateAt40) and other such prominent figures who pull disappearing acts. Questions of this ilk are simply not constructive - and trust me this is the voice of experience speaking.

While this one specific question may actually be answerable, most Satoshi questions aren't and since they tend to bring trouble in their wake, we've declared them off-topic and as such this question will not be re-opened without some serious changes to the current scope.

Currently, we've defined the scope in such a way as to explicitly allow questions about the developers as long as they're actually relevant to the Bitcoin project and have a clear and correct answer. While this question is certainly answerable, it has no bearing on Bitcoin whatsoever. Satoshi is gone and the specifics of his leaving might make an excellent Wiki article but they don't belong here.

We can speculate about Satoshi in bitcoin.it wiki. The answer about closing the question on stockexchange is rather polite and makes sense.

@Robert You claimed (probably rightly so IMO) that it was off-topic, yet you closed it as "exact duplicate." It's a pet peeve of mine that far, far too many questions on SE are closed as exact duplicate when they are NOT exact duplicates. – Michael McGowan Aug 31 '11 at 21:59

Also this one with 2 upvotes:

@Robert- I say this is on topic.



The fact is Robert Cartaino has no sufficient reputation on Bitcoin StackExchange to close the question. He does not understand why Satoshi Nakamoto is important to history.

What made me so passionate was 2 things:

1. the fact that Robert Cartaino is a StackOverflow staff, so he is parcial and he doesn't understand about Bitcoin.
2. I found this question search by - exactly this question. It was a big curiosity for me, and the question was useful for me. If it was useful for me, I think it can be useful for others. The status "closed" is just a joke, make no sense in that context.

That's why!  

But I don't care anymore, I hope that site explode.
