90% of your merit has come from posting about merit....congrats, you have figured out how to rape the system....if I were you I would open up a dozen new accounts...keep posting about merit...and sell them in a few months...I can see the day when we go from bitcointalk.org to bitcointalkerstalkingaboutthemeritsystem.org

And 80% of your merit came from posting about... merit. So all I have to say is:

Dear Pot,

You are black.

Signed,
Kettle

no kidding...that is precisely what I am talking about...in another merit-based thread, I made a mocking post about my rapid merit increase since I started posting about merit ....I have made it a special point to be as crass and repugnant as possible in my comments, to avoid unfairly picking up merit simply for posting about merit, and because I see it as a "kiss the ring and you can advance" system...which I find disgusting...it has probably cost me many ignores...o well, cant educate those who plug their ears...perhaps in all of my ranting what I am trying to say is that merit should not be given out on the merit threads...it is laughably circular
