Hi.
I really was scared of mt.gox that blocked somebodys bitcoins https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=307966.0and I was thinking if electrum can block my bitcoins too?
I know that mtgox is more of a company and e.g bitcoin-qt is just a regular client, and where between these two is electrum? Is it also controlled by a company or its just a normal client?

And second of all- if somebody send me bitcoin when my wallet was offline, am I going to recieve these bitcoins or they're going back to the sender?

And yes- I know this is a double version of this topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=322772.0), but the answer isnt satisfaction-giving, plus in newbie zone all topics go down so fast.

1. No, electrum can't block your funds. The servers have ZERO control over your keys.
2. Yes, you receive the coins whether your client is online or not.
