Any chance of having a constructive discussion without stooping to CH level ad hominem attacks?  I would actually like to resolve all the DT1 infighting, but this type of discourse isn't helpful.



Whether nutildah's post predated my conclusions or not is irrelevant.  I know it doesn't suit your argument, but I am capable of critical thought despite the influence of others.  Regardless of the chronology it's my opinion that nutildah has made a valid point.  You are manipulating and using the Turkish member to further your DT1 agenda and expand your influence.

Coincidentally, I have no issues with nutildah, and as far as I know he has none with me, despite the two of us being on opposite sides of the political spectrum.  Maybe your issues with nutildah aren't so much your politics, but how you debate them?  But I digress.



This is a philosophy that I can totally stand behind when it comes to limiting governing power.  As a conservative minded person, the last thing I want to see is a Minority Report type of punitive system in place.  But this isn't Philadelphia in the late 1700's, and we're not the Constitutional Congress.  This is an internet forum with many successfully anonymous members, some of whom are scammers.  

There isn't going to be any real justice if a guy shows up and makes wild claims of exorbitant ROIs if you invest in his cloud mining ponzi.  There is no "Justice System" in place here that can recoup the losses of the victims of such scammers.  How can there be a "restorative" system in these cases?  There's the old adage; an ounce of prevention...  That's the best we can do on this forum.

I'd like to believe I'm restrained when handing out negative reviews, and I hope all who are in the DT system also demonstrate thoughtful and cautious restraint.  There have been instances where the evidence was incomplete, yet I felt a warning to the community was warranted.  Those situations have been few.  If someone within the system doesn't show restraint I'll make a voting decision based on the value vs. detriment of allowing that person to remain on DT.  It's a difficult decision to make, and shouldn't be taken lightly.

To address the "punitive" part of your statement, what can possibly be done to someone on the internet that would be considered "punitive?"  There's no forum jail, or court system.  Most criminal scams that happen here aren't going to garner much attention from real-life law enforcement.  No one is going to jail for promoting LiveCoin, Yobit, or any other scammy exchange or ICO.  The only thing that's going to happen is a little red number shows up next to the scammer's (or "scammer's") name.  If you consider that punitive, well then, okay, we'll have to agree to disagree.
