I don't think Theymos minds all that much if he's called a cunt.  I think I've slung that epithet at him once or twice myself (with a dose of love attached, of course).  He's too high up there to take offense, know what I mean?
It's one of the things I love about Bitcointalk: the freedom to say whatever you want, even about someone who can wipe your account off the board. OP has a sense of humor, I like it.

I love that you are the only one posting that understands my post and humor in it.

For everyone else this is called Breaking balls. Yes i have posted BTC addresses from my original account but because the wallets became corrupted i deleted them and i upgraded Comps. For people saying i should be nice or kiss his ass or apologize....I say Why? Who is he ? a God? Are you that pathetic that you need to idolize him and feel you and i need to worship him? Give me a break.

Fact is his shitty foresight allowed Bitcointalk to be hacked and Mine and many thousands of users had our info compromised. So i should be nice about his weak security?
Give me a fucking break.

I am with you. If your account was lost to one of the past site-wide breaches, then I do think there is a lack of fault on your part and more fault on bitcointalk than anyone.

Unfortunately though, theymos is the "god" (or, admin, not too different, just minus religion) and if he did it for you, he'd have one hundred thousand other requests to genuinely investigate. From an efficiency standpoint this would be unnecessary. From a fairness standpoint....that's why I'm leaning on your side of the fence over the other.

While I think that it's extremely unlikely that you will get your account back, or a response from theymos, I wish you good luck anyway.

Addressing the topic aside, I agree with SC. Outside of its purpose, it was refreshing to read your topic. The whole online social landscape changed post-2020 and it's a little scary to think how quickly it changed, only until this thread did I think about that fact a little deeper. RIP to the expression through trash talk and emotional realness elements of free speech, both here and around the web once - once abundant, now as scarce btc.
