A fact? You mean snipes in a private IRC channel

No, I don't mean snipes. And no, not a private IRC channel, just a channel where retards such as you aren't opped.

Incidentally, the reason retards like you aren't opped is because channels where naive people op retards like you go to shit. The sociological term is Gmaxwell evaporation, ie that process whereby smart people leave and you are left, with your "coworkers" or whatever you call the other retards.

Case in point about slinging infinite shit and eventually getting a few hits.

Your original post is an excellent example of what I mean. You try to pass off two half truths in two lines. The first is trying to wash the dubious "oh hey, please make me look like I have control of BTC I don't have control of because for the lulz srsly". The other's trying to imply that Gigavps stealing from everyone is somehow related to MP. This is why you're universally despised: because, again, you're an untrustworthy duplicitous piece of shit. Don't let the passive politeness of the geeks deceive you: nobody [else] is telling you this because you're not worth their time, not for any other reason.

As for the "dutifully" and "laughing", you can tell the midnightmagic muppet that any time he's ready to discuss the supreme character of nzhang he's more than welcome to show his face again. I'm half tempted to dig through the logs for some actual examples of laughable insanity, but I'll pass. Not really worth my time.

But hey, if someone with a ignore throbby that has a color indicating some kind of serious urinary tract infection

Yeah yeah, you'd like to be cool, you'd like to argue with me and all that. Sadly you don't have what it takes, go back to porking the refuse of Wikipedia or whatever it is you do with yourself.

who can't handle being asked to stop distributing apparent underage nudies

This would be a third. Allow me to jog your memory, you untrustworthy, duplicitous piece of shit you.

Apr 02 01:51:28    vragnaroda the entire nsfw argument is facetious. people aren't looking for a place to specifically discuss random things some subset has decided "is undecorous"
Apr 02 01:51:38    people enjoy the freedom to discuss whatever they feel like discussing.
Apr 02 01:51:54    BTCHero: erry's +Vv there, not +o.
Apr 02 01:52:07    oh
Apr 02 01:52:15    She used to be +o.
Apr 02 01:52:19    mircea_popescu: then I guess they can do it elsewhere, since the founder of the channel would prefer to take it in a different direction
Apr 02 01:52:34    and IRC is neither democracy nor anarchy, it seems
Apr 02 01:52:36    the founder is a sort of superservant,
Apr 02 01:52:40    not a sort of superowner.
Apr 02 01:52:47    And I just removed that +Vv, too.
Apr 02 01:53:05    gmaxwell: Also, I would rather my coworker join -foyer. That's trading! If you mention maxi pads without the intent of selling or buying one, you're out. This is OTC, we socialize, talk, and build and lose trust in eachother, sometimes we trade. It would be awfully stiff if I couldn't expect the same level of comfort in here as I would when talking with some of my friends. I'm sorry you didn't app
Apr 02 01:53:05    reciate my joke about maxi pads, but that's all it was: a joke.
Apr 02 01:53:32    terry: what's the big deal? http://notrichyet.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/whats-the-big-deal/
Apr 02 01:53:47    (a good read if you haven't already)
Apr 02 01:53:47    actually... i thought foyer was for socializing.
Apr 02 01:53:58    crap, I meant -pit
Apr 02 01:54:00    sorry
Apr 02 01:54:02    That, and scams.
Apr 02 01:54:30    LOL @ #bitcoin-otc-nsfw is a danieldaniel free zone.
Apr 02 01:54:43    copumpkin : i read that. it fails to register as a valid argument.
Apr 02 01:54:58    mircea_popescu: he addresses that reaction in the article
Apr 02 01:55:13    There is this great concept in social sciences called evaporative cooling, where people drive out everyone who isn't likeminded making a more and more homogeneous group. A number of people weren't happy with the direction this channel was cooling in.
Apr 02 01:55:13    copumpkin in thesame braindamaged way as the entire rest of the article, yes he "addresses" it.
Apr 02 01:55:29    problem is that the chat creates trust. -pit is trade only an nobody moitors it closely enough to be useful.
Apr 02 01:55:30    "a number" sounds rather fascist in this context
Apr 02 01:55:38    and i mean that literally.
Apr 02 01:55:43 *   gribble gives voice to ataranlen
Apr 02 01:55:50    mircea_popescu: if you don't like it, you can do it elsewhere, I guess, since arguing is clearly going to get you nowhere
Apr 02 01:55:56    Turns out you can force evaporation with a little boiling too. And if that means we need to remove a few people who think that fart jokes are the pinnicle of public humor, so be it.
Apr 02 01:56:06    copumpkin seems that is quite reciprocable as an "argument".
Apr 02 01:56:14    that wasn't an argument on my part
Apr 02 01:56:25    I'm saying that arguing against what gmaxwell is doing is obviously pointless
Apr 02 01:56:34    gmaxwell you seem to think (mistakenly) that public discourse can be "shaped". others have tried. all have failed.

Apr 08 19:44:30    somebody should point out to gmaxwell the freenode policy about oping yourself. since we're so high on "policies".

Apr 08 19:44:40    i know.

Go ahead, explain how untrustworthy, duplicitous pieces of shit can't handle being called out for it. Then explain how they try and make it look like something else, anything else. Then look around and see why it fails. Or what, you imagined nanotube was going to be begging your betters to tolerate your idiocy an infinite number of times?

in a general commerce IRC channel

I still don't know what you imagine your connection with BTC commerce is. Go ahead and explain it, you carry the coffee trays/empty the ashtrays and therefore are qualified or what is it?

closed clique of sycophants

That's what I always figured. You would think one of them would know CSS, no?

Every time that guy discusses "closed cliques" and "sycophants" God kills a Power

What kind of music does PR chick like? Loud Music or Quiet Music?
