But how would this prove anything to the "crazies"?
I don't care either way, I just think you wrote a terrible interview (used term loosely! ) - then deleted the comments because they were scathing of you and not BFL.
Reddit was along the same lines of comments, not anti BFL at all. More telling you that you wrote an opinion piece.

"Spill over from fighting" It's just criticism of your writing.
But then again, maybe you would be the best person;
I've said it a dozen times in as many places but I'll go ahead and reiterate it now: The word "interview" was poorly chosen - I did in fact interview Sonny but so much of it was off the record that it became impossible to write the article like an actual interview. If I could re-write the piece with a different title I would but it's already out there. There's no undo on the internet. I've also directly addressed the "I could build my own ASIC line" quote as being hyperbole that any reasonable person should grasp the meaning of. I'm so tired of fighting over this article...
OP, I'm sorry for bringing this here and I hope that everyone has the respect to take the "let's flame Dave" movement back to the other threads and let this one be productive. I'm apparently not allowed to make a joke in public until there are ASICs physically in peoples hands
