Roger and I have not seen eye to eye on every issue. We've sent angry PMs to each other over a personal difference of opinion. I still have the PMs. I'm not, however, going to disregard his contribution because we don't always agree. Too many people in this community are willing to throw a brother away when they're down. It just ain't right.
He is some guy who bought Bitcoin and is trying to make a profit via the incentive system that is set up. He is not a "brother" and nobody agrees to join any "community" when they use Bitcoin. We are not "brothers" and Ver is not "down." He gave up his citizenship and now he can't attend a Bitcoin conference and spout misinformation to promote his fantasy agenda. Who cares? It is a positive for Bitcoin to get this nut job off the agenda of serious Bitcoin conferences.
