Sure, I'd like to know. I assumed you were clearly inferring an appeal to authority but since you weren't I take my words back.

My point was, the genesis block contains a somewhat politically charged message and therefore the entire blockchain and project itself is tainted by its ideological beginnings. If you're really worried about scaring people away then you'd need to reboot the entire project.

As a person with some background in marketing of fairly politically touchy products, I assure you that there is a world of difference between [redneck]"gee shucks, there's some weirdo words that sound a bit anarchistish  buried  in  the sorc'rous mathematications that underpin this cow-pootor thingus"[/redneck], and people openly expressing disdain for existing political framework and discussing methodologies of blatantly subversive acts (such as illicit drug trade and tax evasion) on your official forum.
