@mprep
Why are you even wasting your time on this person. He doesn't have a life! This pointless argument can go on forever and just wastes your precious time.
It will be great when we have the decentralized forum and I can simply click delete and your useless noise disappears for me and my important and valued followers.
Your riff-raff useless cohorts will be inundated with all your noisy useless postings.
dinofelis is the same guy (anonymint) same style, same talking points.
Incorrect. @dinofelis is some kind of academic who lives in Europe. Shelby lives in the Philippines.
You guys are so delusional.
You are entirely incapable of comprehending
the discussion between @dinofelis and myself, in which I was disagreeing with him on many technical points. Therefor, since you can't understand it, you just presume we are saying the same things (this is a known Dunning-Kruger symptom).
Don't tell me you are going to hide behind anonymity while you make such slanderous allegations and misrepresentations. If you believe you are correct, then certainly you can put your real name on it, as I have done.
[excuses to obfuscate and avoid having any honor]
Ah I see. You can state highly adversarial positions without putting your real world reputation at stake. That is asymmetrical but astute readers will clearly see who is more honorable because they have put their real world reputation at stake.
Sure, you're not restraining yourself not because of your ego but because you can't have your own dedicated echo chamber.
I had resisted creating self-moderated threads on BCT and I never censored anyone creating an echo chamber. It is you who is creating that echo chamber by being so offended by strong personalities that you nuke important work.
One hundred expert moderated groups will trounce a one-size-fits-all totalitarianism and socialist least common denominator clusterfuck. The reason Medium is succeeding is because all the important people post there, including for example superstars such as Nicholas Taleb.
Experts refuse to waste their time having discussions where they don't have sufficient moderation control in order to keep the discussion on point of the expert's group focus.
Even I am proposing to improve upon that, by having all moderation actions be entirely optional to follow since all the data remains immutable on the decentralized blockchain.
Also if you're trying to offend me - enjoy trying.
It is self-evident that I already did, because you felt compelled to fight back by nuking things. And you've demonstrated in your comments in this thread that you are highly offended by my strong personality.
Again I am going to refer you for the 4th time to read this
Ego is for Little People (written by the ~160 IQ creator of the term "open source") and understand how you are committing all the enumerated misconceptions that the little people do. Go re-read your posts in this thread and you can see you have done everything mentioned in that essay. Lol.
I'm merely having giving fun with to someone who's of above average intelligence yet thinks knows he's a visionary genius.
Correct.
You're merely the flavor of the month self-entitled prick
And you're not offended.
Lol.
Did you really think you had any chance of winning a debate against me.

Ironic how you lecture about none of us having control yet you actively keep coming back trying to fight anyone who disagrees with you or attempt to shut down or at least dominate discussions that didn't go your way.
You don't understand definitions of words. A dictionary could be helpful for your edification.
Refuting and working hard to win debates is not control. It is the free market of competition. Everyone else was free to do the same, until you intervened and snuffed the free market with your totalitarian hammer.
I don't create posts to bump threads to the top. I create only posts that have important content. You don't comprehend the posts, therefor you think I am only pursuing some stupid thread bumping. And if you
only look up at a stuck clock at 6am and 6pm, you'll also assume the clock is not broken. This is Dunning-Kruger aliasing error, which both you and @dinofelis and many others suffer from.
P.S. your use of the word 'lecture' is another indication that I got inside your head and you are offended.
Every time a post is deleted, you should've received a deletion PM - backup that too.
I didn't. See the prior post.
Other than that Bitcointalk owes you nothing
Oh I agree BCT is free to destroy itself. I don't have a problem with that, other than I really didn't want to make a decentralized forum my first priority app. But you've more or less forced me to Cross the Rubicon now.
If you don't like it, go and actually spend the time developing that decentralized forum software you keep talking about, instead of trying to prove a point your followers probably already agree with and other people don't give a crap about.
Here you are slandering me and then slandering me again for trying to defend myself.
But of course you must do that in order to defend the reputation of BCT, but clearly you can see you are losing in that respect.
And of course I am going to make damn sure that I make it very clear that you've been defeated by logic, before I move on because there are so many misconceptions that can be formed otherwise.
Now anyone who wants the story can be linked to this thread (or to the archive of it if you nuke it). So I don't have to repeat myself again in the future when I've since forgotten all the details of our disagreement.
Highlighted for irony. You seem to have an obsession with achievements, acolades and appraisals of your intelligence. While I can understand and sympathize with the reason behind it, I can't really sympathize with a person who berates others for not chasing pointless social validation, that in the end will be forgotten by all come pass a few generations. We may be vain creatures, but try being at least a bit self-aware about it.
It is not about vanity. It is about those who can't do, destroy. I want to know if you actually do anything, other than destroy things?
Reason being that if you don't actually accomplish anything in your life, then you are expendable and thus have no status to be claiming to have any standing in your opinions or authority over me.
It is the epitome of failure for a society to put those who destroy in control over those who create.
That you interpreted it as vanity again is another one of those things that little people err on as explained in the
Ego is for Little People essay. For me it is not about vanity but about production. You are destroying production. I am creating production. Do you actually create any production?
My work can be seen in the shit I clean every day, dropped by serial visionaries like you.
Afaics, that is destruction of data, not productive work. It is worse-than-useless busywork of removing information.
Better would be if you were a programmer and were actually improving the forum software to do some of the moderation ideas I have presented. I've heard that Theymos collected a lot of BTC and then never delivered the forum upgrade he allegedly promised. I wasn't around at that time, so I only hear about it from others.
Unlike you, I don't try to pretend I'm important. I'm a digital janitor in a small to medium community.
And it is the epitome of failure for a society to put janitors in charge of judging the quality of the work of geniuses.
But no worries, I will route around your failure.
What I think you're mistaking as "self-importance" is my thorough annoyance and dislike towards people like you - vain, egoistic lunatics, who think they're hot shit, just because they achieved something in life. News flash: to me, you're just another guy dragging his ass across the floor I try to keep clean for people who actually enjoy being here.
Well your Millennials delusion is why Western society will collapse. The frank truth is that production matters, and being offended by hard working experts is about the dumbest thing society could possibly do.
Awesome. Since you seem to have both the tech and social design down, the only possible pitfall for the project is that the dev is an emotionally unstable asshole. That and possible societal changes in the past 20 years.
I am not angry at people who don't fuck with my production. But again read the
Ego is for Little People because it explains how you are conflating confidence with arrogance.
Except Satoshi wasn't a self-important dick (comparing yourself to Satoshi, really?) who thought his ideas / systems were perfect (or at least he didn't show it).
Did you miss @satoshi's rebuttal of @bytemaster.
Oh and you are not offended.
The checklist was an expressive form of "checking off" all …
Backsplaining and lying.
Btw, @Traxo and I both noticed you deleted one of his posts from this thread because you thought he was my sockpuppet.
When it comes to this forum, we'll sure as hell try.
Remember you banned Bitcointalk, not @iamnotback.
That is how it will go down in history.
For me, this is merely verbal exercise that I enjoy partaking in my free time.
Socialism has afforded you the funding to destroy production and become offended by (instead of respecting and admiring) confidence.
I think the world will change and all you useless trolls will find it very difficult to survive with your usual do-nothing busywork.
