Btw, this is my alleged pumping link that Greg took exception to: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=279249.msg7159773#msg7159773
Not including the two (IIRC) other OT posts of yours that I outright deleted.
Being the objective staff/moderator that you are of course. Well done mate. Keep it up. You're showing everyone what centralised authority is capable of. Moreover, I have not posted anything on this issue on IIRC.
It was offtopic, posting about DarkCoin and IRS black helecoptors over and over again in an unrelated thread… exactly the sort of stuff that gets deleted every day. Post in the correct threads and your posts won't be deleted.

WRT having contact info for the other coins, the bcn&forks have the nice property that I don't have to constantly change the addresses to avoid reuse as I do in Bitcoin. I didn't have any Bitcoin address listed at all except I have to have one to get the moderator payments from the forum, and so I'm stuck replacing it every time it receives a payment. I posted some design criticisms in the bytecoin thread and I got asked to post a donation address, since it doesn't have the reuse problem. I'd list anything else I tried that didn't have the address reuse problem, at the moment thats limted to the bcn&forks.  Altcoins are a mess but I'm happy to take tips of whatever people want to send. Whoptie do, my profile is open and non-secret.

Wow, so I think you need to go back and look at how Darkcoin started. It was my hobby, I wrote X11 in a weekend and launched it. I was thinking I might be able to write the anon tech into the wallet using a variation of Coinjoin, which I started afterward. Darkcoins success was much like Dogecoin, an accident. Please read this:  https://darkcointalk.org/threads/the-birth-of-darkcoin.162/
Had I know what was going to happen, I would have obviously taken much more care with the launch and tested everything thoroughly. It's too bad we can't all get past that, it irritates me seeing this constantly everywhere.
If you want to checkout the source for Darksend and see how it works I'm open to that. I think you'd be the best person to look it over before it's opened anyway.

That things happened which you never expected are all the more reason to not take the concerns or criticism personally.  That people are finding cause to speak out aggressively is because of the promotion other people are doing, ... but you don't control them so you shouldn't worry about it too much.

I'll be glad to look at it when its actually released. I don't have the time or interest to review closed systems.
