Is it too embarrassing for mathgal23 to come back and say thank you?


It's not that kind of account, but it has an interesting post history.       Smiley

In general, the trolls get swatted quickly here for most of their chronic themes, but of late they have found one analogous to "are you still beating your wife?" trickery.
I'm referring to their ploy: "insiders grabbed the first MNs and use them to generate more DASH for the suckers to buy".

This is very hard to refute without deanonymizing the coin supply (gotcha).

If I say (truthfully) that I am a MN-owner and definitely not an insider, then they reply that I'm one of the suckers (gotcha).

If I say that I hold lots of MNs and am definitely not an insider, then they reply that I really am an insider but am hiding it (gotcha).

And so forth.

My best attempt at trollproofing this issue is to answer "so what?" - in the sense "what would follow if the claim were true?" - in essence, the claim is that the first backers of the coin will have more of it than those who come later. OK, now what? Isn't that the way things are supposed to work - those who do the early work get rewarded most? In the event that someone finds that unsatisfactory - they feel the amounts are disproportionate - then the ultimate troll-test (I think) is whether they just walk away and back another coin or whether they keep pounding away at the theme, trying to persuade others to walk away.

Anyway, no matter what one does in life somebody doesn't like it, and we know for sure that some of them have a hostile agenda.

Speaking of hostile agendas, did you see Tok's great new thread yesterday? It's about big-league trolling - the kind we will have to deal with eventually:
