Hey,

Lighten up a little.

threads of this nature ought to be simply locked when it gets to this level of silliness.

This sounds very authoritarian. Just ignore a thread if you don't like it. Don't try limit others free speech. It's not easy to take you soapbox elsewhere as this forum is the major bitcoin conduit.

When your speech crosses the line of being at the expense of somebody else, you have crossed the line. Yes, I realize this is a small thing, but small things become big things. I'm just asking you to grow up a bit, but perhaps I'm hanging around a bunch of kids here who don't give a damn. So be it.

BTW, this is a personal attack, regardless of how you are trying to disguise this as a joke. It is also a relatively new participant on this forum who is the blunt end of the joke, which only makes this worse. If you are so clueless as to not notice that, you and those on this forum are simply in a hopeless situation.

It isn't about silencing speech here in terms of stopping the spread of an idea, it is about showing some respect to others... something I'm not seeing on this thread. The fact that you are now (admittedly lightly) turning your attack against me only goes to show that is an issue. What I'm attacking is that this humor has gone past the point of simply a crude joke which isn't really discussing anything of substance at all.

I was trying to be polite and friendly, but you lashed out aggressively. You do this because you feel frustrated (your aggressive tone) and you care more than I do (hence your multiple long replies). Not sure why you're attacking me when I was trying to mediate. If you had a clear winning point then you wouldn't feel the need to attack others (calling me a kid) or defend yourself.

And yes, you don't get to pick and choose what you censor. Censorship is restricting free speech. Don't try to twist it any other way than you don't like the speech that you're reading and so want to impose your force onto others.

I've called you out. Any further response from you (to what I've said here) shows you're invested in this convo more than I am (I don't care enough to post further in this thread). cya
