The important concerns were already known by a few people. The inability to convince fanboys of those concerns is not relevant to whether or not they are valid concerns.

Most of my recent posts have just been arguing about whether or not I'm a troll, and other useless stuff anyway - because people like Daparski would rather reduce the discussion to childish bickering.

Whether or not you are a troll is not useless stuff - it is important for understanding the reasons behind your continued posting. I really don't understand the reasons, as you have no significant investment in ICN.

Fair enough.

I'm not a troll. I could just leave this project alone, of course, as I no longer stand to lose anything. But...

I post because I followed this from the start, and the way this is progressing is of interest to me now. I sold because I had too many bad feelings about the way things have been going. That was a financial decision.

I suppose you could call it "following the drama". It entertains me to watch this unfold, as somebody who bought at the ICO, and found this project interesting. If I'd just found out about Iconomi a few weeks ago, I wouldn't be so interested. I would probably just see the problems, and move on.

I like the debate, thinking things through, seeing how people will blindly defend certain things, seeing the silly arguments some people make, seeing the good arguments, etc. etc.

It's like a fun learning experience, and a good place to exercise my own critical thinking skills.

As a bit of a comparison: I don't hold any ETH right now, but I still like to follow Ethereum in general, and see how it progresses. I don't post about Ethereum though, because I understand less about it, and there are already a lot of voices in that space. But my interest is not tied to any holdings, you see?

And the other reason is that I want Iconomi to succeed, so that I can eventually use the platform. This should be of interest to everybody, but the key difference is that I think the team's current attitude might hinder that success. Daparski thinks this is not a real reason. He is wrong. However, I admit that I won't be at a loss if the platform DOESN'T succeed. But that doesn't make it a false reason.

Hope this makes sense to you, and my other haters.

TheTruthIsOutThere makes far more interesting posts than a lot of people, yet is constantly censored.

No-one can be 100% sure of anything in this forum but TheTruthIsOutThere seems like a typical FUDder to me, posting with his alt account.

I agree he might have his own motives. But a lot of things he's said are still valid in their own right. They should be addressed head on, if people are able to show he is wrong. If you just delete everything he says, it looks weak.

Forget the man, and forget the motive. Just address the argument being made.

Of course, you can delete when he's calling people faggots and cunts, though.

Noone hates you dude. And this explanation does make sense.
