In a trollish atmosphere, people who normally post valuable information start to get lousy as well.

There are also genuinely concerned non-troll people who point out flaws that have been pointed out many many times before, without even checking about previous discussions

it's common sense that people who seek genuine information act humbly.

This forum is flooded with criticism since its inception and it's a very good thing.

I wouldn't expect a well written argument of Bitcoin's flaws to be greeted negatively.

and they just scream out.. "BITCOIN WONT WORK CAUSE IT ISNT BACKED BY ANYTHING" as if we had never had this discussion....

"BITCOIN WILL NEVER WORK CAUSE THE TRANSACTIONS TAKE FOREVER"

I do mind when people dont do even the most basic of searches to see if this has been well discussed

the other people who get called trolls a lot are people who troll a lot.. it doesnt matter if their comments this time are well thought out, if you have been a troll for most of your life here, people are not going to listen today.

Most trolls are called trolls for a reason, it would be much harder to call them trolls if they came to the table with their home work done

emphasis mine - these points bear repeating, especially to newbies
