Yes. I'm still going to use Bitcoin. I have nothing to fear, I'm not doing anything illegal.

How do you explain this one? He does not have a signature campaign yet he still thinks it is OK to just jump into a thread without reading it?

Generally, I assume those are "newbies" that are trying to boost their "activity" to get their "rank" up to "Jr. Member" or "Member" so that they can participate in some particular sig ad campaign that requires a rank higher than "Newbie". They don't immediately end up on my ignore list, but if they join a sig ad campaign later they'll get there eventually.

There are also plenty of people in the world that simply can't hold back from speaking without thinking about what they are about to say first. There's nothing I can do about that, but ignoring nearly all sig ad campaign participants has made this forum tolerable enough that I didn't leave back in January. It was getting to be so difficult to find the posts that had sincere questions, or the posts that had useful information, that it was like searching through a 40 acre trash dump to see if you could find a pair of gold earrings that someone accidentally threw away.

As it is, a significant number of members that are not participating in sig ad campaigns have gotten so emotionally and passionately wrapped up in the Bitcoin Core vs. Bitcoin XT "debate" that I'm again finding the forum to be a waste of my time. I'll probably hold out a couple more months to see if conversation gets more valuable, but if it doesn't I'll move on to other interests.
