In a feeble attempt to bring this thing back on-topic, I will say that no matter what theymos's personal views, there are fairly strong rational reasons to consider XT to be an 'alt' (as well as a hostile takeover attempt.) His actions wrt Coinbase and their efforts to foster XT are far closer to 'consistent' than to 'insane'.
That why I brought this example:
This has been discussed before. XT is an altcoin, and services that move from Bitcoin to XT are altcoin services. On bitcointalk.org, altcoins and altcoin services belong in the Alt Cryptocurrencies section. On /r/Bitcoin, altcoins and altcoin services aren't allowed.
Promoting XT and moving to XT is not the same thing.
That would be like banning a service, because they consider moving to another altcoin, even though they are still using Bitcoin.
I agree, that even if I don't like forum rules, they should at least be consistent.
