Brain dead Troll.
[...]
You've got your sensational minute in the sun. Well done Troll - Well done.
Mind your manners, child. GazetaBitcoin has contributed more substance to the forum in the past few months than you have in the pat few years. You destroyed the credibility of your own past work with bizarre accusations, petty grudges over nothing,
etc., ad nauseam. Despite my usual attempt to quietly
try to avoid excluding users who may have many tags on scammers, I decided for my part that your tags are categorically unreliable to do a long-term lack of regard for evidence, or even sanity; it seems that many others reached similar conclusions. And now, with all the airs of a self-entitled brat, you aver that you distrust GazetaBitcoin’s judgment not due to his friendliness toward me, but because he quoted marlboroza’s inoffensive joke in a thread about forum controversies (!).
Such is the viciousness of superannuated children who toss insults at whomever sits at the lunch table with someone outside their playground clique. —A clique that in Timelord2067’s case seems to be rapidly approaching a population of 1.
From what I see of his post history, GazetaBitcoin is here to talk about
cypherpunks history and T. C. May,
government invasions of financial privacy,
government suppression of the freedom of information,
the nature of decentralized versus government-issued digital currency, etc. Those are important issues
which have nothing to do with DT squabbles. He has also translated thus far two of my own Bitcoin advocacy essays to the beautiful Romanian language:
Bitcoin: Fenomenul social (
Bitcoin: The Social Phenomeon), and
Proiectul Anastasia: Bitcoinerii împotriva furtului de identitate -țeapa lui CSW (
Project Anastasia, my thread for community action to stop Craig Wright’s grand-scale
identity theft against an important historical figure). And GazetaBitcoin is a thinker; I am proud to see his Romanian translation of an essay on my personal philosophy,
Anarhia Autarhiei Autoritare: Fii Propria Ta Autoritate (summary: “
Don’t reject authority: Be your own authority.”).
I have noticed that certain characters around here,
plural, seem to have taken a disliking to him, for no possible reason than that he is friends with people whom they dislike. I hope that his being targeted with a poo-flinging crossfire will not drain his time and energy from Bitcoin, cypherpunks history, and the thinking of deep thoughts—not to mention any IRL commitments that he may have. He is an innocent bystander. To lash out at him because of his friendships is despicable, beneath contempt.
For my part, I say:
If you have a problem with me, pick on me. —
Well, try to, anyway.It’s a free-speech forum. Those who dislike me may open another ten threads against me, ~ me twice over, curse my name whilst shaking a fist at the sky, or whatever such futile measures may best express their vindictiveness
against me. Not that I give a damn—which seems to be the problem, thus why they are now trolling others on the basis of “you like nullius, so now I hate you”. Forkin’ hell, how low can you go?
GazetaBitcoin, for whatever it may be worth, my suggestion is to ignore,
Do
Not
Feed
The
Trolls, and just focus on what is important. Of course, far be it from me to criticize others for calling out ill behaviour! I just think it’s not worth your time—for the same reason that I myself am 90% out of the Reputation forum; I plan to ignore it almost entirely, after I tie up
a few loose ends here and there.
I have bigger fish to fry.Do you really want to waste even five seconds’ worth of your energy and intelligence wondering what non-reasons screen name “Timelord2067” may have for distrusting your judgment? —When tyrants are destroying financial privacy, Faketoshi is still on the loose, whereas on the upside, Bitcoin itself is a positive joy? What else could you have done with the energy spent on this thread?
A Timelord2067 exclusion is not even worth noticing. Hell, even if he were to make some wild false accusation or ridiculous insinuation against you in public, the appropriate response would be
not more than that thus exemplified, and probably less:
Why is my nick in this thread?
Why is my alt's nick in this thread?
Uups, wrong account.
“LOL.” If you even deign to notice.
Just food for thought.
Off-topic: The Nullian Gang (TINNG)It's the sexiest gang on Bitcointalk, that's for sure.
What, are you trolling me with catnip!? That poster is the “sexiest”? My only problem is that I am too much of a lone wolf to form a gang, other than in the sense of the venerable old
Lumber Cartel. As
n.a.n.a.e. said, “TINLC”—we (TINW) say so—and, “
There
Is
No
Nullian
Gang” (
or so I would have you believe), although
I do have a cult!
But I'll let you in on a secret. Thick skin is a merit magnet.
Indeed.But the handling of such matters may not come so easily to someone who seems to lack much past flamewar experience, and is idealistic about giving to the forum community.
No good deed goes unpunished! I wouldn’t knock him for questioning this, much traduce him as “thin-skinned”: He said he just wanted to know
why, which shows an earnest, noble, but sadly mistaken overestimate of the rationality of empty-headed screen names. It is not even a matter of general life experience, but of
very specific experience dealing with petty Internet garbage: I’d wager that even a wizened sage and pillar of an IRL community would be a bit shocked at the sheer idiocy found on the Internet forums. From the looks of his posts, I would presume that GazetaBitcoin has spent more time building his own Bitcoin news website
and maybe even having a life than troll-wrangling. By the time he hits Sr. rank, he will probably look back at this and LOL.
I get it. Facing inexplicable, irrational hostility on the Internet is old hat for me. I was
never thin-skinned; but yes, there
was a time when I tried to reason with the unreasonable, or at least so patiently to find their nonexistent reasons. Well—I don’t want to date myself; but if I
cut my teeth on AC2 and lurked in the anarchic firestorm of cypherpunks, it probably means that I long ago stopped asking “why” of basement-dwelling obsessive Internet mouth-frothers. /dev/null has an infinite capacity.
I need to interview someone who has The Thickest skin around LOL
Unfortunately, it will take time away from my public service of holding a
blow torch to
double-talking three-digit uids who visit the CIA and repeatedly fork-attack Bitcoin. But I like to eat, too;
inquire for hourly rates. ;-)
