Is it really free-speech if trolls and impertinent persons cannot express themselves freely via this communication medium ?
If free-speech by definition applies itself to humans, and if humans by definition are rational individuals capable of intelligent thoughts, are trolls worthy of free-speech?

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Doesn't "impertinent" mean a thought or action that is out of its place and is not relevant to the context in witch it was made, nor does it contribute?

Does me asking about a 10,000 Bitcoin violate something? I thought I was hinting he should buy me one, or was I wrong?

I would suggest that there is a tendecy for some to become snippy and mean, even in threads which are supposed to be harmless and fun and I think that is a shame, don't you?

Perhaps you interpreted as unfriendly what was simply a mildly-sarcastic thought experiment joke?

No but that is a clever and humourous suggestion, is it not?
