I believe smooth was very focused on how scams can detract from altcoins. But also we have to balance that against no one here was anointed the "altcoin police".

Policing implies authority, of which none is claimed, so that meme is quite irrelevant. Stating an opinion is something else. While there will always be a vocal subset of the audience who aggressively oppose an opinion contrary to their interests, they are not the audience of interest.

Of course you are free to continue expressing your opinion. And I wasn't faulting you for wanting to help educate or clarify.

But it I think carries a heavy price to try to persuade in a thread where a lot of the community there is already enamored with the feature set or the vision for the coin.

You assume motive: persuasion.

Humans are much more likely to associate you with being some authoritarian force than a force of reason and help.

Our goal needs to be how to spread cryptocurrency out to more people, not how to divide the spoils of those few people who land on bitcointalk.org.

And again, you assume motive: dividing spoils.

Dash is small potatoes. Let's shoot big.

On this and the most if not all of the snipped portions, we agree.
