Heh. I must admit I laughed too, despite it being aimed at me.

Good comedy, HammerFist, though perhaps not the sort of thing that facilitates constructive discussion.

Way to go synechist -
Three cheers for you. Too many wimps in the world run crying to grandma. At least you get it.

I suppose it is easier to laugh when you don't really have red hair. lol

Yeah, it can frustrate me too when people act as if the world should take liability for whatever they do. For anyone to actually support the idea - and the sort of bureaucratic nannying that results on a societal scale - is beyond me. It ends up limiting personal freedom way too much. Take the UK for example. So yes, let's all be responsible for our actions.

You'll be surprised to know that I do have red-ish hair. And my wife is a redhead. But I make a point of trying to understand people from their perspective rather than just reacting and getting defensive about mine. Maybe if I was less sure of the truth of my position - or less secure in my identity - I'd have taken offense.

But now that that's out of the way, let's discuss the facts openly. First off, I think learning the technical details of how Mastercoin works is not analogous to learning that hot coffee is hot. It's a whole lot more difficult and a whole lot less familiar to a mere bitcoin trader with no coding or computer science background.

Secondly, this thread didn't actually say "don't use web wallets". It said "don't use web wallets like Mt. Gox, but the Blockchain wallet is ok." The situation was anything but black and white.

So I don't think my error is a case of someone blaming the maker of hot coffee for it being hot. It's like a Kickstarter campaign where if you make a particular mistake in filling in the form, you're screwed.
