theymos is a strange character that has control of all our media outlets; BCT, Reddit, & apparently Bitcoin.org.

theymos was one of the very few who saw what a train-wreck TBF was likely to be when Gavin floated the idea and spoke up about it. I'll let you guess who another one of these lonely voices might have been.

i admired him greatly back in the day b/c he helped me understand Bitcoin thru several pm's and a couple of Skype audio conversations. ...

Questionable.

i've been very disappointed ever since in his allowing forum moderators to essentially run wild around here deleting posts they don't like. and then with the forum donations for a new site. i'm certainly not alone.

I've been pleasantly surprised at the intolerance for over-moderation that theymos has displayed. I can think of almost nothing I've seen deleted and moderators who've tried to do so for overtly political reasons seem to have taken a hike. Whether on theymos's orders or not I don't know.

I've ribbed they guy over the years for allowing fairly obvious scammers to have a voice but at the end of the day it is in keeping with running a very free platform and I appreciate that. It sucks to see people taken by scammers, but this platform allows them to come back and inform others which is a very valuable educational experience for everyone and a lesson that everyone who putters around with Bitcoin needs to learn by one method or another.
