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.

G'dammit, I missed your reply until just this minute when I was doing a post history review. OP is probably being humorous, but even if he wasn't and was really and truly pissed at Theymos you're right; it's refreshing that the big boss of the forum you're a member of doesn't have a hair trigger as far as banning members who say the wrong thing (whatever that might be).

The funny thing IMO is that I'm pretty sure Theymos reads a lot of these comments even if he doesn't respond. It's like he's beyond all of this petty drama going on in the war zone the rest of us are in.

Let's see how long that freedom's going to be, in my experience, most admins don't really like it when they're the topic of being trolled directly as they have other things to attend to so they just outright blacklist or remove the troll instead of taking the challenge directly which will definitely be time consuming on the admin's part.

Ah, he can let harsh words roll right off him. A hands-off approach to running a discussion forum even in the face of criticism or even abuse being hurled is an excellent one IMO.
