Reputation? Since when have it tried to SELL SELL SELL anything I do? Reputation is not something you say, it's created by what you do.

This matches a politician's skill in evading to answer the questions posed.

I merely asked for an explanation of the extreme dependence between the size of individual deposits and returns. This is a classic HYIP aspect, and the current changes should make an explanation even more difficult. This is a pretty clear point that does not call for hiding in fancy wording.

I know for a fact that Pirate has been refusing new accounts, and I talk about accounts who would give him thousands of BTC to earn if his plan was to just run away with it.
3 days ago I got one of the persons I referred asking me why would'n Pirate accept him/respond to him.
Does that really fit with the story of the link you posted?

You're just a jealous son of a bitch, (...)

psy... let me answer that. Yes, the link makes pretty clear why a Ponzi often desires to put limits on its growth, see his initial trouble with "The Whale". Limiting growth lengthens the lifetime of a Ponzi, increasing overall returns. It might help to understand my position before trying to flame it away. Strange how it's the same users and the same types of posts, I only ever remember you from pro-pirate posts.

If it makes you feel better, I'll be keeping this post of yours for later reference, just as I encourage everyone to nag me with mine if I turn out wrong.

The nay sayers have said their nay, now GTFO. No one is asking to be warned (we've already been warned) and we aren't asking to be converted. You're seriously wasting everyone's time, including your own.

It doesn't take an oracle to guess whom my posts are not directed at, and why I'm angry. The more interesting question is, why are so many "investors" angry, and what purpose does a post serve that tells me to fuck off instead of addressing any arguments? If this were just about silently reaping returns, there's really not much reason to engage in enormous flamewars. But this is about dragging in more people fast, and the susceptible ones only. This is why the forum flamewar becomes important, and this is why I deliberately broke the usual forum etiquette.

Well, you are right insofar as I'm running out of time I can spend whiteknighting. I'll just conclude for now that there wasn't a single argument that made sense to me, the counters came almost exclusively from users I was already tracking for excessive BS&T "discussion" involvement, and they mostly consist of "GTFO" or copypasta-quality text to bury my posts.

Well, so I will "STFU and GTFO" for now. There's only a single account left I was probing for the blacklist, which is quite the quota given the short time-frame of this little intermezzo.

I get angry because you imply you are smarter than the rest of us or that you know something that the rest of us don't. Either put up or shutup. What you've offered already isn't anything knew. Try coming up with something that isn't a repeat a someone else's argument.
