How could someone who is acting like B-lister by trying to bait me into an argument possibly have any comprehension of what an A-lister does. An A-lister wouldn't waste his time doing what you're doing.

Eric Raymond is certainly a A-lister, and if you posted some crap like that to his blog, he would also either humiliate you or delete your post.

Unfortunately the Ignore feature of this forum doesn't work very well. It continues to show me the blanked out posts of those I Ignored and replies to those I ignored. I want an Ignore feature that erases you entirely from my view, so you can't come back to haunt me when someone I don't Ignore decides to reply to you. It is an unfortunate feature of this forum that is subjects us to trolls we don't want to have to deal with. That is why for example, you won't see an A-lister such as Eric Raymond posting extensively in a forum where he can be torn to shreds in a battle of attrition by 100s of anonymous newbie trolls who want to take pot shots at the top dog. I participated in BCT because I wanted to learn everything I could about the blockchain technology and the community. It was a necessary sacrifice that subjected me to a lot of strife that A-listers would refuse to get mired in. But sometimes we have to step down to be subjected B-lister activity in order to attain the grassroots knowledge that can aid us to accomplish A-lister paradigm shifts.

The most appropriate quoted from that essay that pertains to me is (and with the italic emphasis on the word lonely), especially given I've been trapped in the Philippines since 2006 (a country where it is impossible for me to find a technological peer):


On this forum, @smooth is my peer (we are nearly at par) when it comes to accuracy of logic, but afaics creativity wise he is not my peer. And him being anonymous is major disappointment for me because I want "jamming" (real interaction) in voice, etc while doing creative production. And in other ways I am not up to par on his level such as his interests in mining coins, finance, chess; I'm more hyperfocused on creativity and find those other interests to be dilutive. My one major alternative outlet is intensive, competitive sports. There are dozen others who are roughly high functioning intellectual level peers such as @dinofelis, @ArticMine, @gmaxwell, @johoe, @andytoshi, @aminorex, @miscreanity, etc.. and I'm not up to par with them in formal math education. Yet so far I don't see any of them as my peers on the creativity level. In terms of creativity, I admire @satoshi (although I don't think he was one person), @bytemaster, @tonych, and perhaps others I am not thinking of at the moment.

We'll soon know if you were correct or not.

Btw, you are such a clueless B-lister that you didn't realize this entire thread is the most valuable marketing campaign I could possibly get for Bitnet's coming decentralized forum.   Now that is how an A-lister outsmarted you and made you think he was doing B-lister activity while he was actually most efficiently accomplishing a goal.  

That you are capable of causing the thread to devolve into a noisy pissing contest because the forum does not empower me to be my own moderator, is advertising why we need the decentralized forum improvements I've written about in this thread.

So do please continue to devolve the thread and exemplify your B-lister traits.


And yet you still don't comprehend the essay as you continue to exhibit B-lister activity.

Elevate your game if you can. And stop the elbows and acrimony.

And here is another example of where I would just decide to make this guy entirely disappear from my view so I never see anything he writes ever again, because he is delusional:


He has been told that I don't have sockpuppets yet he persists in making a false allegation while the irony is he is anonymous and I am not anonymous.

The insanity of this forum.

Sometimes I wonder if these guys are paid to disrupt all productive activities.
