LOL. How is anyone angry at this clearly fake tweet? We've all been annoyed at transaction speed being too slow at cryptsy at times - it doesn't mean that we don't appreciate what it has done for the alt-coin (and bitcoin) trading volumes.

I want Bitcoins and Altcoins to be here in the future, I believe there is a whole new financial market opening here for people to embrace.

With crap like this coming out - it makes the community look bad, which means investors and professionals wont take it seriously at all, it also takes away from the integrity of announcements made by other developers.

I agree. There's times when I imagine all the posters sitting around at a bar, and then I look up to realize that half of them are still at high school, sipping at sodas and throwing peanuts. There's such a childish sense of passive bullying that goes on- like names being called across the playground. In no other profession would defaming people be tolerated as much as it is in this 'industry'.

If we want Bitcoin and the crypto world to succeed we need to have respect for one another, because from the outside looking in, it can sometimes seem akin to Lord of the Flies.

I'd like to agree with you, but take a stroll over to some of the forex trading forums and you'll see a very similar type of environment. Bitcointalk is actually more refined at times, if you can believe it. People constantly calling their broker a scammer because they got slipped by 2 PIPs gets very tiring...

I used to run an online gaming forum and that was a nightmare to try and mediate the fights. It wasnt the kids that caused the problems it was the adults that seemed to think they had the right to say what they liked because they were older! my longest running arguement probably went on for over 18 months, the 2 users involved probably create 30-40 different accounts between them. I know 1 of them changed ISP's at least once (I actually made a complaint to both the ISP of the users because i ended up getting doss attacked for breaking up the argument and one of the users got away with a lesser punishment.)
this was all over a free to play computer game! (they were both 30+ years of age - and in real life were both great people! I ended up meeting both of them at a gamers gathering! needless to say they didnt stay very long in each others company)

as you have said the Forex boards are remarkable, huge arguments about things the people arguing have no control over!

I also tend to frequent a few coding forums and they are full of programmers arguing about the right way to code various bits and pieces.

So as you have said it happens everywhere! (just look at any government! countries are run by people that spend their entire careers arguing with each other! its no wonder the general public end up doing it lol )

So with that being said!

RAR RAR RAR! MY DADS BIGGER THAN YOUR DAD! NER NER NE NER NER!!! (and that's deliberately in caps to infuriate you just that extra little bit!!)
