When you come off the "holier decentralized more than thou" pedestal, remember to stop forking Monero periodically because forking is centralized control over the block chain.
Point is, nothing is perfect but surely all this verbal dung that is flung over all isn't good for us. It isn't good for our cortisol levels. It isn't good for our cooperation. It isn't good for our humanity.
We aren't baboons. We are humans.
We can strive for decentralization but it shouldn't be used as an excuse to support rabid communities that make the entire process here such a pita. At my age, it is no longer exhilarating to cross swords over trivial matters. It is exhausting. I reserve my effort for that which matters. I was also guilty of what I am now arguing against. I did mea culpa.
Any way, we know some "I know everything, but I don't"
1 like r0ach will make some incorrect sweeping claims again. It is impossible to prevent that. I think eventually I will go hide in my own project's official thread (if ever that comes to fruition).
1 And I've been guilty of that offense also.
(btw, I don't totally disrespect r0ach and he has in some of this forum threads made some points worth considering, but I think I am learning that trying to dominate the forum and everybody else is not a good strategy. He makes
mistakes in his absolutism1.)
I appreciate the more thoughtful reply, and I agree that nothing is perfect and we shouldn't argue over stupid shit.
The truth is, I don't care nearly as much about the BCT personalities as I do about making decentralized money an accessible reality. I don't base my support of any project on troll behavior or how annoying some of the supporters might come across, but I get your point that it may be a barrier for others.
I don't personally endorse the comments of r0ach or iCEBREAKER (nor do I follow or keep up with them), but I don't speak on behalf of "the community" either. Nobody does. So I do sometimes get frustrated by attacks directed toward "the community" that should be directed toward whatever individual is causing the problem in the first place.
