Perusing WO in search for news, I discovered the obscene spectacle of a self-entitled brat first demanding that the forums most popular thread be censored and memory-holed as extremely toxicviz., he dislikes itand then accumulating a pile of merits by whining about merits.
Of course, there was zero chance that theymos would delete WO or disable merit on it. The appropriate response to SwayStar123s ungrammatical histrionics would have been to insult and then ignore him.
Sadly, attention-seeking tares can altogether too easily control the conversation when they start with wild demands that upset people, and then slowly back off to an approximate simulation of reasonableness whilst dispensing platitudes that, although as empty as they are sanctimonious, have stood unchallenged.
The man who is right does not command respect, but the one who admits he is wrong
Nonsense. Outside the Cult of Feelings (and I say this in the sense that the statement reeks of group criticism and sensitivity training, common methods of brainwashing), being right does assuredly command respect; and the respectable man most of all respects he who is right. Admission of having been wrong may be respectable or not, depending on the context; when it is, that in no way detracts from the respect accorded he who is right in the first instance; when it is not, lecturing others on what commands respect is a fantastic conceit.
Inductive proof:
The earth is flat, 2 + 2 = 5, and anybody who disagrees with me should be shot.
[Ensuing discussion in which I lecture my nay-sayers on how they owe me constructive criticism instead of toxic insults. How righteous I am!]
Oops, I was wrong! BOW DOWN, RESPECT ME, AND +++++MERIT ME FOR ADMITTING THAT I WAS WRONG!!!
Why should anybody care what you think, instead of just telling you to fuck off?
Of course, to ask the question is to answer it; for surely, your history of illustrious achievements should speak for itself.
May I ask, Why?
number go up feel nice
Yup, attention-seeking snowflake. Congrats on upping the number and nice feelings by offering nothing of value, but getting people sufficiently riled that, in the resulting confusion, somebody was bound to pat you on the head for something.
Also applies to my wasting my and my readers time hereby, with complaints about a melodramatic waste of time.
Sorry your time was wasted by some random idiot, whose style and personality indicate that he would be more at home on Reddit or Twitter. I think that people only took him too seriously, because he takes himself too seriously. I do think that the danger of WO being deleted on his say-so was somewhat less than my chance of guessing Satoshis private keys by random chance. Who gives a fuck about this tempest in a teacup, when you can talk about Bitcoin.

I locked it myself, because someone actually gave me constructive criticism for once, instead of just telling me to fuck off. It appears I was looking at the wrong figures, though i think 14% is still too high its not high enough to warrant much action

I was replying to a person who said nobody gave a shit about merit, clearly i do

I ONLY visit the WO thread on bitcointalk.org. I always have a tab open on WO thread. If they delete WO thread, they delete bitcointalk.org for me. WO members are the real bitcoiners. No fake shit and bullshit like on reddit and twitter. I don't read this WO thread to post for some merit, otherwise I could have been Legendary a long time ago. Been on this site since 2011, only registered in 2013. Who gives a fuck about merit when you have bitcoin.
