Yeah, I was wondering about that as well since I've never seen OP's name associated with any scam accusation.  Even with his explanation here, I don't know what the extent of OP's involvement was.

Cheezcarls, I wouldn't get so upset if I were you--I never thought you were spamming anyway, and some of the threads you started I found pretty interesting since I don't seek out crypto news and get it all on bitcointalk, basically.  Even if you were affiliated with the site that you kept linking to, the material was interesting at least and you made your own comments on it in each thread.  As I've pointed out before, Hydrogen does the same thing in the Economics section and nobody seems to have a problem with him (though he's not promoting any particular news site).

Anyway, take a deep breath, try to calm down and it's going to be alright.  I don't think anybody here hates you, and I wouldn't take any criticism here personally.
