That's not true at all. I just don't like corruption, and I don't like certain members to varying degrees and extents. Otherwise, I really enjoy the forum, the reading and discussion it provides, and just about every aspect of it outside of the politics and the cabal. The administrative decisions clearly could have been better at times, though the forum still exists and is very active. While I critique huge blunders like the forum software, and constantly critique the wild contradiction that Bitcoin is all about decentralization, openness, consensus and so on, while the forum operates in a way that is almost the opposite, that does not mean I do not like the forum as a whole.

You can snip chop and take whatever words you want to be able to muster a response like you did there all you like, it makes no difference to me. As for offering a solution, the forum obviously does not want to change the way things operate, so therefore there is no solution other than the benevolent leader to not repeat the same actions/mistake, which not only I'm sure he won't, though is not possible to replicate.

If everyone lived by that saying, no one would be guilty of anything. It's a cop out - but I don't care enough to continue this discussion. I am a critic, I have given my critique, my posts are out there and public for others to see forever, anyone who wants to dig, can dig.

I do not think bitcointalk is a democracy at all. It's obviously ruled and influenced by those who dominated it early, and by those who are close to theymos. I never said otherwise, though I said that it should be otherwise given that Bitcoin and its origins was not in line with this nature. As for the proof of the accusations, you know what I'm talking about, go and look into the blockchain yourself...however to just pick out a blatant one, the fees paid to mutli-signatories is a easy cherry pick. There's plenty of proof that those ranked at the top of the forum have received opportunity and reward, though I have no interest in participating in your cornering into an assignment that will take hours. I've done enough reading on this forum to be able to speak in an informed manner, I've seen enough corruption to know that corruption exists, and I can speak my voice and post so that others who are maybe more committed can dig into it, otherwise it can be left alone, if that's ultimately what nature and people want.


Or just post out of appreciation/to give back to the forum that has already bore a lot of fruits for those who would likely be invited to contribute to that board.


That's a start if the forum wants to make a change - though honestly, I think it's too late. The way this forum is will not change, and if it does, it probably won't be done right, or will be usurped by those who are cozy with the way it is. Those who wanted to change it are probably already gone, and the ones with influence have such influence because of the way it is. All one can do at most is critique, but not expect change - nor fight for it, otherwise they'll likely lose a lot of time only to make next to no difference.
