I don't give a shit.
If you are comfortable blowing someone's spot based on the traces they've left on the web, that's up to you. It's up to the individual to operate in a manner that allows for them to be private. If he's left footprints and if you feel comfortable releasing his real name... I don't care. But I don't see how that is of benefit as we can at least confront jbg by his screen-name and we are not afforded that same benefit of confrontation with your... I dunno... informant.
But I thought your original post was unbiased and informative. It had a feel of genuinely pointing out concerns. This most recent post has some passive aggression and presumptions about what makes a "genuine person" in the form of an ultimatum and a lot of very speculative input. The tone has changed.
I love to troll, it's a simple pleasure in my life and a horrible indictment of my character. Your first post was a REALLY good example of how I would present something if I wanted to look distanced and like I was genuinely trying to help (but I was actually baiting someone)... but this most recent post is starting to reek of something more personal. Like the bait wasn't substantial so you're "upping" your game . Throwing subtle jabs here trying to goad someone into an emotional reaction... which we both know would result in you "winning" from a troll perspective.
The other guy (Preshprince)'s post started in that manner. Making claims without proof and such. I peeped that game from the get go. But now you're starting to head in that direction.
So why do all this? You said your piece initially, which informed the people. They can make their decisions from that first post and decide whether JBG is genuine or not yeah? You're attempting to set the precedent for what is and isn't acceptable now. You aren't just providing your "findings" you're challenging character. You're questioning semantics. You're hiding sources. These are also questionable actions.
Edit: Didn't nail preshprince's screen name. Edited
I wouldn't say my post started in a troll manner, I went through the code and provided my findings, would you expect me to come across this in a positive tone when I'm convinced the community has been taken for a ride by jbg?
Also similar to gunners response, you've taken your own time to gather information and share it with the community, the response is a full blown shill attack and people trying to discredit you as a person, my mannerisms will vary person by person, if some one is attacking me do not expect a positive response, I'm not a robot..
My ways as a person are pretty simple, I enjoy helping people, I'll give even a stranger time of day if I can give value, but if some one gives me poor attitude they will get nothing but poor attitude back, I treat people the way I expect to be treated and expect the same back from people, start shilling, lying or trying to hurt innocent people and you'll see a different side of me, I have no desire to change this nature either, I find it fair.
A world full of sensitive people isn't a good one either, don't be so critical, blunt and to the point achieves more than burning time on emotions, if I was writing a thread on a mental health forum I would take a different tone, I don't expect emotional sensitivity from traders.
You've also said you get pleasures out of trolling, who are you to question any ones nature? Trolls are bottom dwellers and are good for nothing.
And if this is enough to discredit information and findings in today's world, I give up.
I would. It was biased and goading and assumes a relatively sterile environment that presumes little or no familiarization as far as the code is concerned. jbg came in on the middle of a project and was tasked with reviewing all of the code that preceeded his entry into the project.
Now it's true there are some zealots among the community that take any disparaging comment about the coin personally. I don't understand that but... you know... whatever... People gunna do, I guess. I don't care how you respond to them. You being diplomatic is the least of my concerns on a fucking message board like BCT.
I also have little concern for peoples' emotions and am not particularly sensitive myself... irl and online but especially online where verbal context isn't present. But this is more about statements that you presented as fact but didn't have much anything to back those facts up except what you believe... but you presented those beliefs as "truth."
I do derive pleasure from trolling, but it has little to do with any of this and if it was an attempt to discredit me... I DID say it's a horrible indictment of my character, BUT it does put me in a unique position to spot possible troll tactics like trying to goad people into an online altercations in subtle fashion after appearing to be credible and diplomatic. I'm not questioning nature. I don't care about anyones' "nature" online. I do care about intent. And I do question intent when someone goes from someone seeming to have authority over a topic to someone taking caddy digs at another person. Gunner's original post was well laid out and objective. I'm simply saying that this most recent one takes multiple jabs at jbg personally and it caused me to rethink some of his original post that I commended initially. I'm not saying there is ulterior motive... but I didn't question whether there WAS ulterior motives before and now I do.
