Now who's spitting the dummy?
You opened with "Are you fanatics worried at all about the somnolescent prices? Since the great May pump, DRK has been in the doldrums."
First you called us fanatics, which I agree, the innovation and talents of the DRK team does cause people to follow with great loyalty, but the word "fanatic" is often confused for "dedicated".
Secondly, most of us knew the coin was going to correct after the May pump, and it's corrected and held good resistance around the .001 mark. Before the pump began it was .0039 I believe, so again, the coin is still doing really well.
Then there was the "I can't quite put my finger on it but Dark is in the doldrums" comment. Have you seen the masternode count recently? The network is poised and ready for RC4, we are making Crypto history here.
Then you try and lecture us about regulation and how governments can crush a coin etc... Why come to the DRK thread and rattle your sabre? If BTC goes down in a sea of regulatory red tape that's going to propel DRK to new heights quicker than we all imagined...
You want to be shown respect, give respect...
I think you've made some very pertinent points Ignition75 about Forceflow's posting and the mindset behind it. However, as someone that's read pretty much every page of this thread and is heavily invested in DRK, I do worry that all of us who are so excited and committed to Darkcoin are a bit over zealous in denouncing anyone that challenges us.
I'd like to see more accurate rebuttals of someone's bearish views on DRK, and some level of grace demonstrated when it's apparent they're here simply to muddy the water. Now we all know when you get someone who's so lacking in awareness of how governments work (i.e. that the public's perception of governments' power is as much about governments' maintenance of a smoke screen and the broad acquiescence of a public more interested in bread and circuses than standing up for their freedom) it's very hard within the limits of typing text in these response boxes to articulate why their "but the government won't allow it" statements are so naive.
But I think it would be better to try and correct misunderstandings rather than engagement in a "you're obviously a completely fuckwit" responses. I think some of the notions people we're labelling as "trolls" bring to this discussion need to be discussed.
For instance, it is possible that some sort of repeat of the 9/11 terrorist attack will happen and Darkcoin could get inexorably mixed up in the ensuing investigation and held up as a key funding facilitation mechanism the terrorists used. Do you think Darkcoin would be safe then? I expect the public backlash and draconian pursuing of everyone and anyone involved in Darkcoin would make the MacCarthyism communist witch hunts of the 1950s look tame by comparison. This is just one of the risks Darkcoin could be subject to. We need to take some of the notions people that come to this thread with and discuss them or we're all just on a continual "DRK DRK DRK. Give us a D, give us a K...." cheer leader session which ultimately isn't healthy.
Above all, let ensure we discuss all aspects right to the outer edges of the envelope so we all have the best chance of making this THE enduring crypto-currency of all time.
My diction is 100% accurate. Fanatic is all I see. I am not bearish on DRK either, I believe it has great potential. Just because I am not a religious true believer should not enable the pro-DRK trolls to act like rude, abusive 7 year olds. That kind of group mindset leads to disasters. Similarly, because I don't have a "government is the devil" mindset, I probably understand how it works a bit more accurately than the tin-foil hat crazies that predominate this thread. You can believe in something religiously but then you've probably lost all perspective about it.
If everyone shared the perspective of RenegadeMan, perhaps DRK could truly become something special, not just in terms of privacy but also a viable challenger to BTC. Instead, I chose to use some of my time to steer the discussion towards some issues I felt were ignored and I see why. You'd rather keep yourselves in darkness. Fine. There are consequences to insularity and single-mindedness and crushing diversity only leads to encouraging more of your goose-stepping fascism. Ironic. Hypocritical.
Further, I was attacked from my first post on. While my first post may have been provocative, nothing was incendiary. Fanatic is not inaccurate, its proven quite accurate in fact based on the childish narrow-minded responses. Keep your silly thread going on about a "privacy" and only that. Keep driving people away until you're left with only people who share your views. I'm now quite pessimistic about the DRK community (more like savages than a civilized community). As far as the coin, I still reserve further judgment.
