There are thousands of bitcoiners. If a few react quicker than others they will be balanced by those who do not act so quickly.

It's called freedom of mind. Fleembit has every right to feel uncomfortable and it is ridiculous to expect him to just sit there constipated and not ask for other options.

You have the right to call him out and bring balance (with a slight deviation from the nonexistent center).

But neither of you has the right to expect the other to change. Fleembit shows us that his survival instinct is intact, and when governments start opposing bitcoin I think Fleembit will react quickly and correctly. No offense, JohnDoe, but you're more likely to be part of the second wave of reaction. And that's ok, but don't discount the contribution of those who reacted before you, whether you agree with them or not.

Let me give you a counter example:

This last week has been a weird one with Anonymous. I spammed many channels that something was wrong because I had been told so by people I trusted.

You know who resisted the alarm most and left themselves open to being harrassed by a rogue Anon? The scientists and the ADHDs and yes we do have scientists among us.

So Fleembit should be appreciated for having a survival instinct which is what people who stand around accidents do not have.
You deserve credit for calling him out.
