It got nasty because Maria didn't back down, and acted like a prick without providing anything credible.
She also raised the minimum 'bet' when someone called her out.

And I stand by my statement that my comments in this thread are not made with sexist and/or misogynistic intent, in fact I don't think anyone's comments in this thread had sexist or misogynistic implications.
Of course not. Most people in this thread don't seem to accept that "Maria" is a woman. If is hard to be misogynistic if you don't believe the target of your ridicule is a woman.
I think transphobia may better describe the gender-specific comments in this thread.
I will accept that maybe most people don't find "Maria" very credible. That does not fully explain why the thread turned nasty so quickly.
None of my comments were driven by sexism or misogyny in ANY form. My comments were made calling out a bullsh*t artist on their bullsh*t.
I singled out your comment because it best articulated the general sentiment of this thread, not because it was particularly sexist. I stand by my statement that your comment would be very offensive to transgendered persons.

I recommend "witch hunting" elsewhere...

Because anonymous internet forums are the epitome of political correctness.

If my comments were "prejudiced" towards anyone, they were prejudiced against liars, fakes and bullsh*t artists.
I do not apologize for anything I said to or about "Maria".

What an excellent example of misogyny. If this forums best examples of misogyny posts are troll posts like this then I'd say we are doing much better than I expected.
I can't speak for the poster in the other thread, but I suspect the general feeling is that a poster identifying as male would not have been treated that way.
I don't think I have ever seen an odd-ball thread topic created by a poster identifying as male where the first post is "2BTC says your're a woman." The second post asks for proof that she really was mining since 2009. I doubt that a poster identifying themselves as male would face the same scrutiny.
I am not trying to imply that posters identifying as female deserve a free pass. As you can tell from my posting history, I have found Maria untrustworthy ever since her "make money fast" thread. However, I have always been respectful in my criticism. This is in part because I know that the Internet has a long memory.
I apologize for any involvement in criticism of Maria that was not justified based on her actions. It has not been my intent to apply sexism, but I understand how my actions could be taken as sexist. I retract any accusations I have made against Maria.
As much as I dislike this user for her blatant disrespect to even those who are respectful to her, I retract any accusations/attacks I have made in the past, and will refrain from posting such things in the future.

well lets see... If I have been mining since 2009, I wonder how many bitcoins I have?

You probably have a ton, probably enough to actually become a REAL woman if you wanted to... But, what's your point...? That we should all be throwing ourselves at your feet begging you for BTC handouts since you're BTC-rich...? LOL...
You may be closer to the turth than you realise. If so, your statements are likely very hurtful. Some people are born with the "wrong" parts. You are claiming that they are less of a person until such time as they get the "right" parts.
Assuming that everybody is correct that "Maria" has a penis: staying in character may be a sign that she really does see herself as more of a woman than a man.
BTW, this thread was cited as an example of misogeny on the forums.
Wow... That's quite a stretch...

trolls be trolling
And now I know what the "off topic" forum is like.
Carry on.
Carry on.
LOL, this is only a small sample of the off-topic forum, the threads each vary greatly, you never know what you'll see in here...
I thought the off-topic board was a personal troll ground for Atlas... are you saying it's not?
Because he wrote the theory of bitcoin and we all grovel in view of his glory.
Satoshi is the best example that the ones highest up on the ladder don't always have to be fucking pricks.
How do you know he isn't a fucking prick?
