Eh for me it was pretty much this sort of behavior with Icebreaker being a prime example. I respect the dude he has a lot of insight into btc and its ecosystem but the level of hateful ad hominem vitriol he has been spewing just turned me off and I didn't feel like participating in the discussion. Not that I'd have too much to say anyway. Just using him as an example now, there have been others, many many others.

WTF kind of fake-ass Discordian whines about a little shit-stirring?

OMG that awful Hagbard Celine, with his nasty piracy, just turned me off and blah blah blah I'm taking my ball and going home.

OMG that hateful Eris, with her terrible pranks, just made me feel like not participating in any more parties!

You must be trolling us! No True Discordian would ever (unless spoofing) be so thin-skinned.

I invoke Poe's Law! Cheesy

Finally you show some humor. Obviously discord is to be cherished for the boundless source of unpredictable creativity it is but FUCK 'EM IF THEY CAN'T TAKE A JOKE. This humorless, serious-business trench warfare of opinions has me bored to tears and is nothing I will have any part of. Which is just as well - we Discordians must stick apart. Do you even understand what it means to be a POPE? The part about infallibility does NOT extend beyond the confines of your own nervous system and people not grokking this makes for a bland taste of discord indeed.

"Finally?" Huh

My posts are nearly always soaked in humor. Have you missed the last 4+ months of epic Gavinista lolcow milking?

If you don't get the (albeit occasionally bone dry or tounge-in-cheek) jokes, it's because you are being an easily-offended frump (and they are often engineered precisely to be at the expense of the thin-skinned).

But that's fine, even ideal, as your astute point about how "Discordians must stick apart" illustrates.

I suspect your Gavinista sympathies are the reason why you somehow missed the hilarious meta level absurdity of our "serious-business trench warfare" over an obscure internet nerd fight!

Even the normally phlegmatic Nick Szabo couldn't resist getting in on the fun and clowning the Gavinistas.

So lighten up Francis! We'll have bigger blocks eventually, just "not tonight, dear!" Cheesy
