Why wouldn't I stand behind the words of my post?

I am not necessarily going to jump through a bunch of hoops in order to prove anything that I said because I believe that the words of my post largely speak for themselves, whether it is the referred to above post or any other post that I made.  I never delete any of my posts, and if I edit any of my posts, it is usually within a relatively short period of time after i had posted them in order to attempt to make them more clear... In other words, I stand by whatever I post, so you can go back and look through my posting history to your hearts content, if you have nothing better to do... or if you believe that such search and extraction can serve some kind of meaningful or insightful purpose.



If you have been around so long, then why are you hiding behind one account.  Are you going to list your various other accounts, or are you asserting that you have been around a long time merely as an analyst of posts, rather than a participant.

You are trying to assert that you have some kind of credibility that is greater than mine, and surely I am not proclaiming anything about myself, except that I largely have been participating in this forum in order to bat around ideas regarding bitcoin, and surely other topics have come up from time to time, including various meta topics.



I did not know that I had friends, but sure I suppose I might have friends, I guess.

Seems that you are striving to make a BIGGER deal out of some kind of supposed pattern than likely exists, but hey, go ahead with your little playing.... and by the way, can you give a list of all of the other accounts that you have used on this forum, too while you are at it.



Did I claim to be balanced?  Not sure what you are attempting to get at here.  You are trying to assert that there is something wrong with what motivates me to post or what I type or how I give out merits.. or who I put on my trustlist, etc?  You are really grasping with whatever vague assertions you are making.


Again, I did not know that I have friends, but sure you are trying to assert that there is some kind of abusive pattern of behavior that I have been engaged in with my posting, my merits and/or my trustlist... Still pretty damned vague you are bonesjones, or whatever your other names happen to be.



I doubt that there is any need for me to refute any vague assertions from someone who seems to be hiding behind a shitposting and seemingly non-accountable account.  You likely have some kind of burden to substantiate your claims with something better than your merely feeling that you sense a kind of pattern of injustice that is purportedly flowing through my motives.... blah blah blah or whatever you are wanting to proclaim.



I did not realize that I was prescribing any kind of guilt to hacker that would be greater than guilt of any other hypothetical person that you are suggesting to whom I need to be prescribing more guilt.


I say that you are coming off as vague as fuck, and also that you seem to be suggesting that you have been around the forum a long time and implying that you purportedly know some purportedly important things and can identify purported patterns based on your experiences (whether interacting or merely just reading posts), yet the account that you are posting from only shows about a month and a half of forum history and a lot of questioning of your motives for being here based on what you have already posted and also whether you are in breach of forum rules.  You seem to be the one who has questionable patterns rather than yours truly.



I don't see that you have said much of anything beyond vagueness and likely untrue lame spin attempts... so I am likely being too nice to even acknowledge your self-proclaimed insightful inquiries.



Yes, you can label what I do as "punishing," "playing favourites," "corrupt" and/or "collusion," but you have hardly provided any evidence or logic to back up your conclusory assertions.  Your proposed remedy is that either I clean up my purported bad acts/motives or I stay out.  Again.. lots of presumptions coming out of you and even attempting to impose vague standards upon members that might be in a similar position as me.  



I suppose the longer that an account is around, the more popular the account becomes.  I did not realize that I was courting towards popularity, but I suppose that some popularity is kind of inevitable, especially if I have had quite a few interactions with members over the years.. sometimes good interactions and sometimes NOT so good.  Surely I have had a few battles over the years with some members, and sometimes we find a mutual ground or at least reach a truce, and other times some of the battles will re-ignite themselves here and there.  

I have actually found some members to be quite annoyed at some of my posts in terms of their length and sometimes even positions that I have taken on various matters... or maybe even annoyed by my tone, and other styles that can sometimes be unnecessarily confrontational.   Some people seem to like my posting style, and other do not.  

Even you, bonesjones, seem to be saying that you do not like me, so I am NOT very popular with you, right?  Maybe we can attempt to become better forum "friends?"  Are you capable of trying to create a forum "friend?" #nohomo  

As I suggested earlier, I don't really tend to label members as "friends" or not, but hey, maybe I can make an exception for you, since you seem to need (or want) a forum "friend" and we can try to work something out?  

I am thinking that maybe from your perspective, I will only be considered as your "friend" if I comport with your vague standards of behavior?  

I get the sense that you might end up being a kind of bossy friend, but hey, maybe you will prove me wrong?  I do get the sense that something that I had been doing historically seems to already have been causing you to NOT want to be very friendly with me even though it seems to me that we have only been hanging for this one interaction.  Are you interested in bitcoin?  Maybe we can find a mutual interest?

Do we happened to know each other from some other account that you might have had?  Maybe we can begin our "friendship" based on one of your other accounts?  Or do you want to start from this account, or maybe if you start another account?  Perhaps we can figure some way to become buddies? #nohomo.  

Maybe you should let me know, so that I can get to know you somewhat better?  You seem to know me better than I know you, but that is o.k.  we can try to work out some of the bugs, no? even though you don't seem to be coming off as genuinely anyone who is attempting to share meaningful information or trying to make mutually beneficial contributions to the forum that will help other members to use the forum in a way that will be beneficial to them sharing information about bitcoin and sometimes other cryptos...   But, hey, maybe you have some good intentions, and maybe we can both attempt to become more popular by becoming buddies?

So, yeah, even if some of our motives for participating in this forum might not overlap very well, we still might be able to find something in common.  For example, I consider the forum to be a place to share information (and mostly I continue to be interested in bitcoin.. like I already mentioned), and surely, I know that there is a decent cohort out there who are using the forum for various business purposes, and I don't really have anything against those possible business motivations or members who are involved in those activities, but those activities do not really align so tightly with my own motives and purposes for hanging around the forum.  But, I don't mind getting to know someone who might have different interests from my own, but I do tend to gravitate towards members who seem genuine, so there is that... but hey, we can work on your NOT seeming genuine.. and maybe you can improve ur lil selfie, in that direction?  Perhaps?  Perhaps?  We can try to find mutual ground.  I don't want to impose to much upon you in our mutual quest for popularity or whatever ends up being the mutual grounds that we end up agreeing to.


I agree with you.  Hacker should be treated fairly.  We are making progress, no?
