Cryptodevil is loud and arrogant, but he's also very, very smart--and he'll probably be the first to tell you. In other words, a complete bastard but when it comes to ICO scams, I'll believe him if he calls it out.
The bastards are usually the ones who don't suffer fools lightly around here and see this forum as full of them, and the bastards are correct. There are way too many people bringing garbage to the market, and bitcointalk is full of idiots who buy up every single one hoping to find the next bitcoin. Some of them have no clue what they're doing, and it's those people that Cryptodevil, Vod, and others are trying to save from themselves. If you pussyfoot around here, no one will respect or take you seriously. You kind of need to be a bastard.
