While I have questioned the forums rules in the past I have come to the conclusion that the mods/admins have acted in a proper manner whether you like it or not. Try to look at everything from another angle than yours.

Try posting a link to Theymos' dox located at blockchain.info and see how quickly your opinion changes.

Yep. Seriously, RoadStress, go post theymos' dox (google and you'll find it) and see what happens.

What will happen? I thought the policy was not to remove dox? If the info is out there or on google what would it matter anyhow?

If it's an indication, I was banned for 45 days for doing so.

Fact: Joshua "Inaba" / "Nitrowolf" Zerlan of Butterfly Labs made it part of his career to dox and intimidate vocal people in the community that spoke out against them.

Fact: Josh Zerlan of Butterfly Labs paid Michael "Theymos" Marquardt significant advertising funds over the course of perpetuating their fraud^[1].

Fact: Michael Marquardt did nothing to remove the dox that Joshua Zerlan posted despite protestations of his victims.

Fact: Michael Marquardt bans people that post his dox, and removes the offending posts while allowing Butterfly Labs' intimidation dox to remain.

Ergo, Michael Marquardt is a profiteering hypocrite who materially benefitted from Butterfly Labs and others that defrauded this community, while taking their advertising monies, looking the other way, and allows them to continue their bad behavior while he bans others for the same bad behavior.

Finally, I need to again call attention to the fact Michael Marquardt is paying out, by his own admission, an absolutely asinine sum of $100,000^[2] per month for development of new forums software.

What "reason" did theymos give you?

It's quite funny how the OP of this thread, PuertoLibre (iirc) was one of those that Josh Zerlan dox'd..

It seems that this community views anonymity as a sacred right, and discovering the real identity of ("doxxing") of someone as a mortal sin. Sorry, I don't buy that.

While it may be OK for people to use pseudonyms, it is also OK for people to blow them. In any significant personal interaction each party has the right to know the identity of the other. In commercial business, in particular, it is foolish to make a deal without knowing the other party's real name and photo, and the address where the police can be sent to; and without checking his professional history and legal record. That applies not only to the principals of companies, but also to key employees. The "right to dox" also applies to anyone who accuses or insults someone.

In particular, I think it is quite appropriate for BFL clients to try to uncover the identity of the "SLoK" who managed the BFL forum (under a deal that has not been clarified) and may hold assets that should be surrendered to the receiver.

We basically all agree with that. We're talking about theymos banning anyone that posts his dox.
