OP has started a thread with the intent of shaming these writers,

Well, some of them should really be ashamed of what they wrote . Smiley

and from prior threads I`ve seen how this unfolds, with posting photos and other personal details -- ie. for the lulz -- of these people, followed by personal attacks.
Nowhere in what OP wrote I read anything about posting personal details or specifically about posting photos. Anyway, I wouldn't have any problem if I see a photo of the writer to be 'shamed' next to what he/she wrote, provided that the photo in question was already public to begin with.

And if a particular economist/analyst/whatever is a shill or a crook then why wouldn't I feel outraged and be allowed to call it to his/her face? There is nothing wrong with feeling outrage. In any case, I would argue that the opposite is wrong.

This is counter productive and the actions of angry loners who have nothing to add to bitcoin. This is not a positive message to send out.
Bitcoin is not _one group_ with _one voice_. The sooner 'outside folk' understand that, the better. There is no 'bitcoin message' to be sent. Who gets to decide what's positive or not? I say lets read everything and decide for ourselves what is positive and what isn't.

Let the 'list' OP proposes stand (or fall) on its own merits. I specially like this part:
Not because it would be a nice fuck you to the establishment.
But, because it would be a historical lesson to the masses. A lesson in trust.
Never believe what they tell you.
