How is it bad PR?
You need to understand basic human psychology to understand how it is bad PR. I have no opinion on Monero, neither positive or negative, but flooding this forum with Monero threads and stuff that others discuss on their own dedicated forums gives me the taste of some one selling Jesus knocking on my door. Plus, how credible is a coin and community who can't even create a discussion forum of their own?
PS: it's year 2014 now.
This is all in your own opinion. I think you should let others speak for themselves before assuming it would be an outright viewpoint for many.
