Re: Bitcoin XT - Officially #REKT (also goes for BIP101 fraud)

Everybody out there is talking about the ideas of Peter R.
Nobody is talking about the ideas of the brg and that mod.
Which is no surprise.

Everybody out there is laughing about the 'spherical blockchain' ideas of Peter R.

Which is no surprise.

Of course, that's why they are forced to censor him. Poor core devs and mods.

And you still insist on conflating moderation with censorship. What an insult to actual victims of censorship. Why not claim theymos is raping Peter R as well?

Your argument sucks, so you have to redefine and trivialize powerful words to make them do the advocacy work for you. That's why XT's vaunted Streisand Effect failed to achieve much of anything.

Moderating only controls time/place/behavior. Censorship attempts to control ideas. Learn to tell the difference, please!

Everybody knows how censorship is defined correctly:

Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication or other information which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, politically incorrect or inconvenient as determined by governments, media outlets, authorities or other groups or institutions.

First, private forums like BTCT and /r/ have every right to set AND ENFORCE their own rules. Doing so is moderation, not suppression/censorship.

Second, Theymos does not qualify to be counted amoung "governments, media outlets, authorities or other groups or institutions." He's just some dude with a BBS, not the fucking military dictatorship of Burma. Cheesy

Why not just use the proper term "moderation?"

Why be such a screeching drama queen? Do you think such histrionic exaggeration makes your arguments more persuasive? It doesn't, sorry...

Every time you say "censorship" what I hear is "I need to take cheap shots and use Godwin-by-proxy because my argument sucks."
