Why are you here then of you hate it so much? It is not perfect and not with pretty grafics but it is a place for many coins to start their new journey. Good people can be found too, you know. I hope you see them even if you are buried under a ton of your cynicism.
Well, he just stated a fact - these 2.5 million registered users aren't real number of forum users. Bots, banned accounts, alts, brand new users with 0 posts... I don't know where you see hate in his post. It would be interesting to know how many real users Bitcointalk have. And offcourse, despite some negative aspects, bitcointalk is the best crypto community on internet.
He mocked it right in OP's face if you did not see it. What an accomplishment! Why does this intend, if not contempt? Where you see the statement? There are bots, spammers but also many genuine users. I see negativity and I tell it how it is. There was no need for this comment. Such posts have the intention of mockery, nothing constructive.
