What practical purpose did your post serve? (Sorry, I realise this is the third time I've asked this question but I'm hopeful that if I keep asking it in slightly different ways you might answer).

And I ask you - "What practical purpose did your posts serve?"

I believe there's value in holding posters to account (by the same token, I should expect to be held to account for my posts). In dyask's case it leads to interesting conversations. I don't think I'm going to convince dyask to tone down their posts, but I can at least try.

Hold me accountable? Since when do I just make random unaccountable posts?

Tone down my posts? Am I causing a riot? Maybe there is too much vulgar language in my posts?

I sincerely feel there are just a lot of people here that don't like it when people think for themselves! Wink

See my negative trust? I got that for pointing out ThePhwner had some incorrect information in his scam claims against scrypt.cc. My point was valid so he tried to brand me as supporting a scam instead of saying thanks for correcting his error. There is sort of a Nazi like mindset in trying to keep people politically correct with self appoint enforcers. Wink

Well, remember the post where I asked you what purpose it served? And then I asked again? And again? And see how when ddalex asked me the same question, I answered? I guess that's what I mean by holding to account.

As far as I know you're not causing a riot, and I've seen no vulgar language (and wouldn't care if I had). Your posts appear naive, but I'm fairly certain you're not naive. Your posts put a positive spin on negative situations, and that's what I'd like to see toned down. Comments like this...

Maybe the fires will be stoked up again, but right now the embers are barely glowing. No one there probably thinks of it as an investment anymore, it is just a game at this point. It no longer matters if it is a scam or not. That time is past.

... serve to minimise the issue. It may not matter to you, but it matters to other people. While scrypt.cc portrays itself as "cloud mining" it doesn't much matter what you and I realise, or think, or believe, it is.

By all means think for yourself. Just don't be surprised when you put your thoughts in writing and other people - also thinking for themselves - question you. Otherwise we'd end up with people running around saying all sorts of nonsense (I'll avoid breaking Godwin's Law by making a historical comparison).

So... what purpose did your post serve?

Spin doctor? What is your point? What are you trying to protect? Pointing out something is dead needs toning down? Seems like the only thing I did was stomp on some sense of self worth.

I simply pointed out that scrypt.cc is now tiny. Very little going in, very little coming out. It is a real scam for some stuck there, but it isn't like there are hoards of investors breaking down the doors to get there. For the people that have been scammed, it is probably time to focus on if a recovery is possible. However that is a different sort of game.
