Would be a pretty long run honeypot, even if Theymos wasn't behind it, Satoshi and Sirius made the forum, who is to say Satoshi didn't set up a honeypot? Do not use this forum in any way that would negatively effect you if Bitcointalk was a honeypot. I don't think "The Government" cares if you want to discuss Bitcoin. Think twice about doing something that could get you in trouble though.
im not saying it was honeypot from the start, maybe idk, but i am saying overtime theymos has turned against the community, it is obvious and now that i know he works fro government that says it all as bitcointalk is #1 bitcoin target for government and of course government has interest in killing bitcoin.
