The two are unrelated and monero wouldn't even be discussed here where it is off topic if dash defenders didn't resort to ad homenem. For example if it were really true that me criticizing dash was bad for monero we would see high monero volume as people rushed to dump. We don't.

I'm not saying that you criticizing Dash directly lead to anything that is happening with Monero. Or Dash for that matter. I'm saying that it leads to antagonism between the Dash and Monero communities, which in the long run will probably just hurt both. I fail to see how it benefits Monero, which I assume is your goal?

See, that's where you assume incorrectly. Dash, my comments about it, and most of the other people who have slammed its shady instamine and other scammy practices over the past year has nothing to do with Monero. I don't know who this Prosperityforall is who started the current threads but its not someone I know to be tied to Monero, although he does seem to support it. But the fact is if you look at all of the threads criticizing Dash over the past year, most of them clearly have nothing to do with Monero (some of them might even pre-date Monero). The common element here is Dash, not Monero.

In seeing this as a Monero issue you're buying into the ad hominem that comes from the Dash defenders. To your credit you don't really bother with that and just say you don't care as long as you make money, which I respect to some extent. Just remember: exit strategy (and risk management). You will thank me later.
