I think a lot of what might be rubbing people the wrong way is how you're speaking in absolutes and with far too much confidence, IMHO.

Don't be so sure of yourself, man. You're coming across in this thread (especially in your replies to BlackHatCoiner) like we're all a bunch of idiots and you're not.

I'm very surprised by how things turned out. Sure, there's always the risk that a new service might turn out to be dishonest, but I read a lot of the OP's posts before joining the signature campaign, and (for me) a lot of signs pointed towards Whirlwind being a genuine attempt at running an honest mixing service. What basically totally convinced me, was chatting with the OP over PM a few times and being left with the impression that they were intelligent, candid and eager to get things right (I had one exchange with them about making adjustments to the campaign, and one exchange with them about making their Note scheme a little safer).

Anyway, long story short: A lot of us do think deeply about what signatures we're wearing, and (I'm guessing) most of us (WW campaigners, that is) are a little embarrassed/sore about how things turned out. So, it hits a nerve when you show up here brimming with confidence and giving off "I kinda knew this would happen" vibes.
