You don't need the Monero community's permission to experiment. Just ignore them. That's my 2c anyway. You're certainly entitled to present your view as is anyone of course.
Smooth I wasn't going around telling people to not buy Monero. I was trying to remain impartial to a great extent and let the altcoin experiments proliferate, so hopefully from that will come something better than the status quo.
My problem is when Monero people trying to tell everyone that everything else is a scam and shitcoin. I am fighting the lack of respect that Monero's community has for the importance of experimentation. We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater. I have no qualms with pointing out specific flaws in for example ICOs, proof-of-work, etc.. But to harp on "we are the only shit" (even going outside your official threads to enforce that "only us" doctrine), is extremely deleterious to our cause.
I will quote myself again, since it ended up on the bottom of the prior page of this thread:
Remember the title of this thread.
I am not buying Monero, then telling everyone it is the
only altcoin that is worth investing in (and that Zcash is inferior in every way), trying to dump my bagholding on others. Nor am I even selling any tokens nor investing in any tokens yet.
I stated very clearly upthread, that my reason for posting in this thread is because of r0ach's behavior, not because of Monero per se. But then it became a Monero community issue because of the way your community interacts in this thread.
Note I edited my prior post to make my technical rebuttal more logically coherent.
Re: The Monero Gang : G T F O
The Monero Gang is a dangerous team of criminals ready to destroy your altcoin picks and turn you into a Monero believer by the force.
The Monero Gang: You will be assimilated, resistance is futile. Buy Monero or die like the rest.
Coming to theaters in 2017.
So I guess I am done in this thread, barring any unforseen attacks against me.
