My comments on trying to sell the r/Bitcoin subreddit:

[TYDIRocks]

takes a man to own up and apologize, though i didnt see too much wrong with you selling you moderators position. if you sold it to a shill someone would just make a different subreddit.

I suppose this was ok too?

Well Atlas, where i come from people sell facebook fan pages and alikes like hot cakes and i don't see anything wrong with that.
People must be rewarded, if not for more, at least for the time dedicated to it.
I guess some people prefer those guys who try to trademark Bitcoin, never contributing a single bit to it

To all the nay sayers: The man worked for it. Must he starve, instead of trying to capitalize on his time?
Or must he mug an old lady? 

Mugging and starving are the choices presented in a monetary system.

...or you could work for a living, like most normal people.

you equating this with selling of a senate seat?

LOL damn man. Sorry if I dont see "moderator" as that big of a deal.

99.9999% of their job is leaving the subreddit alone.

the other .0001% is deleting spam and crap that shouldnt be there.


I guess I can see why some of yall are annoyed, I just dont see much of a big deal.

And I'm about as ideologically opposite to atlas as you can get.(just saying I'm not defending him due to his politics).

Personally I Think it is kinda shitty for some people to not recognize a real apology. He quit his job as moderator. It's not like he had to. We couldnt force him out. WE could have made a different subreddit but it sure didnt look like were about to.

I dont think he did anything wrong and I respect his apology. as for blagojevich he denied wrong doing to the end.

No need in  explanations, Atlas. You just dead as espected. Well, at least you recognise when you are wrong, at least on public. It is more than you can await from fanatic. So respect.

A monetary system perpetuates structural violence, which is more far reaching and more devastating than physical violence. This discussion is outside of the thread topic, however.

Anyone can make assertions, but nothing you've said backs this up. If you're talking about fiat money, sure, states are violent. Feel free to make another thread to prove money causes violence and link it here. Thanks.

The irony of a decentralized currency forum complaining about the ethos of free-market capitalism astounds me.

That being said, who cares whether or not he sells it? Selling the subreddit would probably improve the quality of the service by infusing it with capital and staff.

Then you don't understand the meaning of free market. The complaining is their avenue of recourse. Notice they are not threatening him with violence explicitly or through the law.
