Oh, so you responded with a whitepaper. Really? Where is it?

I said I was writing one. I didn't say I completed it yet or that I have any reason to need to release it now.

Hey it is fine with me if you all don't take BCX seriously.

Apparently there have not been many confirmed TW attacks, and I don't know if any actually killed a coin. Apparently BCX stopped the Auroracoin threat. It will be interesting to see how he backpedals on this current threat.

I take BCX very seriously, and also with a grain silo of salt.
There are valid reasons for FUD. There are also invalid reasons for FUD.
Some of the invalid reasons are almost comically funny, some are wry.
So there is misdirection, humor, ambiguity, and vicious predation in action, all part of the fog of war.

When I see invalid FUD, based on what I see as obviously wrong interpretations, it may be a market opportunity for those that see through the fog, but also begs to have that fog burned away by the light of truth. In this way perception matters. But, my efforts are less anti-FUD, than anti-falsity. Knowledge assuages fear, and doubt.

TFM, You have given me reasonable fears and unreasonable ones too. You also worry about my confirmation biases, as do I. In the end I don't care so much whether I started out as right or wrong, so much as that together, we get to the right answer. I "win" an argument, when it leads to the truth, especially when it is not where I started.
