what did jorge do to get a perma there? o.O
It was a 90 day ban. I don't know why. I asked the mods but did not get any answer.
I only made two posts there yesterday, after being absent for ~2 months. One critic of the 21co Computer, the other explaining the new RBF and criticizing the lack of a fixed queue policy.
Maybe the ban had nothing to do with those posts. Probably some of my old "enemies" there just reported me as a troll based on the whole of my "work".
Or perhaps Roger Ver, the owner of /r/btc, was pissed off about some not so nice things I wrote about him elsewhere (such as taking the side of OKCoin in the dispute over bitcoin.com).
Could be related to your co-existence in r/bitcoin and r/buttcoin. Mutual dislike, mutually nervous trigger finger for bans, as far as I can tell.
Well, I tried to post only serious stuff to /r/btc . Perhaps I am a better bitcoiner than buttcoiner after all... ;D
Or perhaps, in those filtered and pasteurized forums, they feel the lack of a villain to shoot at...
Probably said something like this before, but then again, your detractors never fail to repeat themselves either in here, so...
I'm not entirely unhappy having you post in here.
I disagree with plenty of your political and economical premises, and more importantly, I believe you show a certain bias in accepting evidence and arguments depending on which 'side' it is coming from -- which is, imo, a cardinal sin for someone from a formal field.
That said, your (extremely critical) contributions are intellectually still leagues above what passes for "criticism" in here otherwise -- which otherwise tends to be FUD'ish meme spam and barely coherent ad hominems against "bitcoiners".
So, in that sense: Thanks for your contributions in here, even if, more often than not, they happen to be wrong-ish ;)
