Lauda could have accomplished a much more private departure by simply departing. Drop a message down the old Batline from the Cat cave to theymos and privately had their account locked.
LOL so much this. Lauda wanted one last drama so Lauda did one last drama. Trying to paint as some genius satoshi-like departure only to be forever worshiped in the memorial thread is ludicrous.
As for nullius, ignore is the best approach, trust me. Saves hours of reading and miles of scrolling. What he says and does about the trust system doesn't make much sense... so tilde too is recommended... unless someone thinks that red-tagging for "trolling" and "defamation" is appropriate.
