A special mention to JayJuanGee... you have the patience of a saint. I mean the way you meticulously answer the trolls with point-by-point clarity is very impressive even though you probably know you are engaging with trolls and attention seeking deluded individuals/groups.... your way to engage them and manage them is without doubt impressive. No matter how much you address them they have their own ulterior motives and sometimes hidden sometimes overt agendas but you still present your points and answers in the most professional manner imaginable.
Hahaha
yeah.. I am thinking that bonesjones might be incapable of trying to make a friend. I was hoping that he could be one of my first forum friends, even though he asserts suspicions that I have already made other forum friends. Bonesjones might have trust issues. Perhaps?
Rhetorical question intentionally concluded with a full stop.
I am purposefully NOT going to even attempt to respond to such "rhetorical question" beside just noting that I am not responding.

I really like the thought of that assuming
arguendo part and attempting to rank such levels of evil on a world-wide scale including living and presumably dead people in such competition.
But, the second part of that proposition is that you are correct, you presumptively evil bastard. Your admitted
(even if merely hypothetical, but I know that you are really admitting something deep down on the inside) level of evil is not even relevant to this thread. You could be like the worst level of evil, and hacker might be evil like a mouse and even the most minimal level of evil, but the thread is not talking about either you or even that other pointed out evil cat one. It is about little intsie winsie teenie weenie evil of hacker, to the extent any evil exists in hacker.... I am not even going to presume any evil in hacker personally, even if he may have been mean to me one time, but the topic of this thread happens to be about hacker and perhaps whether any evil actually exists therein.
Objectively, my and Laudas allegedly most-evil doings would not excuse hackers allegedly possibly far lesser evils.
Repeating the same point in another way. Exactly.
Of course, such diversionary tactics are just that.
Sure. And, I must apologize for participating in such diversions, too. I was just attempting to figure out if there may have been some round-about way to get some meaningful dialogue going with bonesjones. Might have been greedy of me.
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.
Some people dislike reading; others, to the contrary. Unnecessarily confrontational is another way of saying, no bullshit. At least if you disagree with me, I know that you will explain substantively and without beating around the bush, instead of just tossing off insults, snarky one-liners, or animated GIFs.
I suppose that largely I agree, yet any of us sometimes might prefer to dance around certain topics, anyhow. I mean we do not necessarily need to get to the truth on every single topic, and sometimes if you just "call bullshit" that is really not very nice, and may cause someone to become hostile to your sending them a message, but if you dance around the topic by sending a meme or something, they still understand the point, and may even kind of save face, too. I don't necessarily get any pleasures by insulting someone if it is not really productive, but sometimes some great exaggeration, even when you don't mean it, can be productive, too.... and usually more effective if you don't use it all of the time. Sometimes members make fun of me, because of certain patterns of saying things, and so then, that might be a red flag that I have some annoying patterns of speech that I might want to try to correct because the pattern is taking away from the intended message.
My strongest motive in coming to the forum in the past 6 years has been to research and share ideas in regards to bitcoin,
I miss talking about Bitcoin.
I have been lectured pretty harshly about spending too much time in the WO thread, and I am not going to concede on that point, but mostly, I am able to focus more on bitcoin in that thread, even though we have been spending quite a bit of time on the virus lately, too, which is understandable and on a lot of minds of posters in recent times.. and some of the posters do try to bring it back to bitcoin, too.... and even though so much goes on in bitcoin, sometimes, we like a little distraction from the topic, even sometimes we might be thinking that the BTC price is not moving enough or it is moving in the wrong direction, so yeah, it is NOT necessarily bad to have some other topics from time to time.
