Yours is about the most apt reply in this thread because it captures the essence of the motive behind it. This thread seems to be more about attention-seeking on part of the OP for his own agenda consisting of pushing for the creation of the board he dreams theymos will accept.

I could be wrong (I have been in the past about many things) but it seems as though by creating what could be seen by others as some form of misconstrued legitimacy by being the creator of a security board will probably help bring in some extra customers for the $42 he charges for a service based on what he copy/pasted in the OP of this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5434404.0

Some members actually believing he is well versed in the cybersecurity field is about absurd as you could imagine. Here he writes: "Why am I running the service and what qualifies me to do so?" then fails to provide anything of substance (including qualifications and/or experiences) which qualifies him to do so.

As for this thread, in my opinion "Letter to Theymos" should have been "a PM to theymos" first before attention-seeking in the Meta board.

Wonderful thread this, I laughed a lot. You have to see what you can see lately in Meta.

First we have our friend BenCodie who takes advantage of the mixers ban to push his much loved Cybersecurity and Privacy board, which seems reasonable to me, and more considering the positive votes it has had in the forum, but it seems to me that the promotion of this topic is not purely disinterested but has quite a lot to do with this:

[Consultations available] Personalized Cybersecurity & Privacy Report for $42

Then we have our dumb friend Shenanigan saying a stupidity of his own and making a fool of himself, which leads to the first 14 comments of the thread having nothing to do with what the OP is saying.

To top it off we have a staff member who acknowledges the following:

Instead of offtopic and trolling, better do some forum research if you're so interested.

But who does not take action on this, such as deleting the ridiculous off topic garbage replies from Shenanigan on the subject.

Of the rest of the comments, only nutildah has an on topic reply, with which I agree.

According to the above, my conclusion is the following: hey BenCodie, please change the thread title to something like: "Discussion, LoyceV powers on the forum." so at least this thread in Meta will look like an on topic one, although what will be weird is the OP, I recommend you also to edit it to match the main discussion of the thread.
