Child_Harold, I find your drunk rants extremely amusing and sad at the same time. It's clear you need help. I take full responsibility for any and all delays, I could indeed have told CfB NOT to take the route of reusable addresses, but at initial analysis we concluded it was the best approach, then implementation analysis showed it was not. Welcome to the world of development, this is how things go. This decision was partially influenced by the overwhelming demand for human usability, which is not what IOTA is about, so we decided to revert it because our goal is IoT, not human-2-human.

As for your ad hominems toward me: I honestly don't care that you even exist. I doubt anyone in the universe does. Have you done anything for the IOTA community? No. Have you donated to the Foundation or big deal? No. Have we made you a great ROI on your IOTA purchase from our work? Yes, so please just shut the fuck up and drown in a bottle.

Deep breath and maintain professionalism Wink

I'm 100% calm, and this is 100% my honest thoughts about him. I won't censor myself for anyone. The professionalism lies in creating a compelling product and getting adoption for it, not by being superficially nice to someone that has repeatedly polluted the IOTA community with lies and ad hominem nonsense.
How about ignoring the troll posts for once instead of wasting your time replying to every single one then?  I try to follow your posts for news and what's upcoming in the project and it gets a little disheartening/annoying when 90% of them are you defending IOTA and spouting obscenities at trolls.  Take it easy, dude.

Yes, I agree with Cyrax89721. There will always be some people frustrated with the decisions and actions of those in charge. In fact, as the project grows there will be more and more of them and dealing with them carefully will become more and more important. I can understand the desire to defend yourself or the project but it doesn't always help. More often than not, it only serves to create a negative image.

It's usually better to not respond at all but if you feel it's absolutely necessary at least try to avoid the name-calling. In this instance Child_Harold might deserve it but in other instances people are just asking questions or expressing slight frustrations and they are called "trolls". That type of overly defensive and combative attitude will be seen as unprofessional by many people.

For now, Iota is a relatively obscure project being talked about mostly on niche online forums but you are still the face of the project. I hope you can respond to criticisms more tactfully in the future.
