I don't like to think of the world or human nature like that, but maybe it is just me?

I do accept that we need all kinds of perspectives, too, so I can appreciate someone who is more skeptical than me regarding the various negative aspects of human nature, too.

I have gotten to the point of ignoring it, only came to this thread because my name was mentioned and I got an alert.

Hey, you childish guys, better than wanking and rambling about it with walls of text, do some action. You are too an part of community ! Yes, you don't like involving in the drama and shit but you can still do the right thing by excluding the user in question from your trust list and that is the most simple and right step to do.

Many here already know this is harsh and unacceptable use of trust system, better than repeating it again and again some political ditrusting actions would be a wise decision to all.

Maybe I should rephrase what I said? You conclude that I am "childish," "wanking" and "rambling" based on my above post, and perhaps based on some of my other posting history including what I have so far decided to do regarding my trust list?

I might have mischaracterized what Lauda had said, and I was merely attempting to assert that I generally consider human nature as good, but I also understand that on the interwebs, we do not always know whether the person on the other end might be a cat. So there can be issues with dealing with interweb personas in terms of if they are who they claim to be.

Hey, maybe the use of "cat" is not really a great analogy here, especially since Lauda does tend to self-refer in terms of catology (if that is a word), but hopefully you can still understand what I am attempting to assert in this regard.

I tend to view human nature as generally good, even if self-interested, and surely everyone has their circumstances to deal with; however, the interwebs and even crypto (I hate that word) has a tendency to attract scammers and scum, and swindlers and bots. These can create battles and emotions, too, and sometimes posters get emotional, say too much and/or things might NOT come across too well in the form of postings and text. So, yeah, we cannot always have enough information regarding if we are dealing with someone who is genuinely attempting to contribute in a positive way or if that person is more trouble than they are worth in terms of scamming and scumminess. In that regard, any of us can consider and reconsider how much to engage in these kinds of battles or whether we spend more time participating in crypto threads (again, I hate that "crypto" word, and likely that is probably why I spend most of my time in bitcoin threads rather than "crypto" threads)....

Isn't there an expression? "came to bitcoin for [blank 1] and stayed for [blank 2]"? Surely, I don't want my "blank 2" to end up being "interpersonal battles." From my perspective, that would decrease whatever quality of life I happen to currently have..... hahahahahahhaha Now, I am going to get back to telling nocoiners, bitcoin naysayers, and alt coin "pumpeners" to fuck off... that's my current preferred specialty. Oh, I do have one other quasi-non-crypto (did I say that I hate that word?) post that I would like to get to first, but that's another story.. that may or may not play out in my determination of what to do next.... because I have another non-forum research project that I am multi-taskingly working on too... so there is that... plus I have a tiny bit of real world physical labor that I have to carry out (procrastinating a bit), so there is that, too.
