you're still that little dog who nips at my trouser bottoms.

I thought you said you didnt do ad-hominems to troll and fan reaction? Just a few posts back too.

Decorum!

Stuff like that is why bitcointroll.org is redirecting here. Also it pushes out more tech focussed people who want some civility and dont have the USENET flame war developed rhinoceros hide and egos to say "fuck you too" and keep talking.

What the tvbcof said seemed pretty reasoned to me, and if you read it neutrally, not to be calling Gavin names, just talking about hypothetical conflicts of interest, independence etc.

I share his view about balance of power helping also, eg you can see that Microsoft & Apple are both pretty world domination evil corporations. And yet the growth of apple's market penetration of OSX has weakened eithers ability to execute on their rent-seeking actions. Thats a pretty conventional understanding of the real-world.

Adam

Adam, you're soft and need to develop a back bone.

you don't understand how to develop a popular thread nor sustain interest in one over a several year time period either it appears. the reason this thread is so popular and long lasting is precisely b/c i am NOT a troll. i bring a large amount of dedicated, insightful info, and logic to this thread and balance it with a healthy bit of "discipline" towards those who i think deserve it. it's my way of screening out the real trolls. i've been very effective at it over the years yet you conveniently try to lump this thread with bitcointroll.org while ignoring what Justusranvier just said a few posts up about how this thread has a high SNR unlike other threads throughout the forum. the high # of views and the mere fact that you are here are testimony to this fact. you have no insight into the relationship i have with tvbcof going back 4 yrs so you ought not comment on it. i actually don't mind him and i think he actually likes me. but we go back and forth with each other once in a while and it provides entertainment for everyone. we have a "volatile relationship" so to speak. Wink

speaking of trolling, btw, did you or BS hire brg444 to come here and troll me and promote SC's?

Same old, bland platitudes Undecided

Adam has made a valient effort the last few pages at presenting cogent, reasonable & insightful arguments in defense of his team and its projects and yet we are left with the same old cypheroc tired ad hominems. Ever since the introduction of the sidechain discussion you have persistingly made a clown of yourself in your own thread and displayed seemingly intentional inability to maintain an honest discussion.

Your ego and the apparent pleasure you enjoy at flattering it is quite pathetic I must say.

(PS. Adam, I'm in Québec, please, please do hire me, I make real good coffee)
