Difference between Bruce and some certain bitcointalk members:
Bruce
is always optimistic, has positive energy and forward looking
does something by himself, is active - the bitcoin show, bitcoin conference(s)
tries to evangelize bitcoin, convinces shops to accept bitcoins
Certain bitcointalk members
are always destructive, suspects everyone being a scammer
are passive, see everything as bad
wait until others do something
badmouth bitcoin
So looking at the above comparison, I say, for the value of my own bitcoins and the whole bitcoin economy, I rather get rid of the BlockHashes, Colargols and wolftaurs (so to speak) than Bruce
I've never been arrested, I have no criminal record, I have never been sued successfully or otherwise, and I have never been a suspect in a crime. Bruce, on the other hand...
As to suspecting everyone being a scammer... Ha. Well, you obviously don't follow my history. During the Mt.Gox hack I was sitting there trying to tell everyone that Mt.Gox probably didn't cut and run. But, gee, I guess you're perfectly willing to ignore not only the truth about Bruce, but the truth about anyone who doesn't like him. I really like bitcoin. I'd like someone who isn't a criminal to be speaking up for it. And that shouldn't be too much to ask.
