I could not care less about ETH or The DAO. I will never defend a thief. If your hate for ETH will make you throw your principles in the bin, then that's up to you.
He is a thief and he is waiting to enjoy the spoils of his crime. Keep defending him. Maybe he will toss you a few.
Honestly, accepting the game of putting money in a "smart contract" where "the code is the law" and where you have tons of pages of source code written in a Turing-complete and rather new programming language, Solidity, is nothing else but funding a hacker's bait.
Whining because your thing did exactly as could be expected, namely that a hacker won the bait, is beyond me.
I agree with you, but the hacker is still a thief. In the same way that the stupidity of a greedy individual losing $50,000 to scammer claiming to have 50 tankers of oil in the Atlantic does not magically turn the thief scammer into not-a-thief-or-scammer.
But on BCT funnily enough, it does!! Because scammers and thieves are folk heroes in this industry. Makes it so easy for you guys to accept a thief in your midst.
