I'm not sure there's any acting involved with his post.  It boggles my mind that anyone's position would be that Lauda is harassing newcomers on bitcointalk, or that I am for that matter.   Has OgNasty seen some of the members we've tagged?   If those are the types of users you want to protect by DT exclusions, your thinking is fucked. 

This has nothing to do with race, nationality, or anything of the sort, though I will admit that in my frustration I've called out 3rd world shitposters specifically,  and everything to do with making bitcointalk a hell for honest members.  Lauda should be on DT1, and it is unfortunate indeed that theymos has some of the members on it that he does. I am grateful for the merit system, but there need to be active members on DT tagging scammers and account sellers, at the very least.
