As I anticipated, legitimate criticism and suggestions were labeled as trolling and met with the usual "if you don't like UTC git out" / "burn the heretic" mentality.
I don't know if you noticed or cared, but many of the "negative trolls" who left were day-1 adopters, or at least what could be considered "veterans".
Vizique in particular was pretty much a vehement utc fanatic always labeling criticism as trolling just like you're doing now.
Having someone like him leave, would trigger an alarm in my head if I were the dev let alone a regular user.
I also noticed many of the early most active members haven't posted in quite a few dozen pages.
You see trolls and negative-nancies, all I can see is worried, disillusioned people, and maybe rightly so.
Therefore, we can either, as a community, be constructive, organized and transparent (essentialy throughbumface's action though) and firm, or my guess is we're going to have more and more "vizique" giving up.
You didn't make the 200 satoshi comment, so back off my nuts. You are a perpetual negative nancy, though. Come to think of it, you were adamant in pointing out that bumface didn't want to "invest" in bribing mintpal for votes. I can only imagine your comments now if he in fact did such a thing.
