I personally taught that pirate business was legitimate. Like any business, I knew there was a risk. But if somebody asked me what pirate business was all about, since my belief was that it was legitimate, I gave my own answer and said that it was legitimate. From what I understand, doing that is encouraging the scam and so, I'm a scammer.
If I taught that pirate was a ponzi and I invested in it, from what you say, investing in a ponzi is a way to scam others, so I'm also a scammer.
So, overall, if I understood correctly, what you say is that if somebody invest money in pirate, he's a scammer.
No, that's not what I said. I didn't say that just encouraging people to invest in Pirate or just investing in Pirate makes someone a scammer. I try to be very precise in my words, but sometimes I fail. That's not what I'm saying.
Sorry, but I can't stand the attitude of "either he's with us, either he's against us". Also, the witch hunt against the possible "victims" of all this is also pitiful. The only two sides that seems to exist right now are the "saviors" and the "scammers". This polarizing attitude is what start wars and conflicts. It's not about 0 or 1, there's a lot of nuances between the two extremes.
I agree.
Destruction doesn't solve anything. You never solve problems with destroying, you only give them fuel to make them worse. You seriously think than putting scammer tags everywhere and censoring people who sided with pirate business is going to help? If you think that simply deleting the people who don't fit in your vision of the world is your way to solve problem, you'll be surprised at how it doesn't make things any better.
I have no interest in putting scammer tags anywhere or censoring anyone. However, the people who scammed other people need to recognize and accept that this is what they did and figure out where they went wrong and how to make sure it never happens again. The community can either learn from these things or repeat them endlessly. I care which of those two things happens. I'm not trying to punish anyone.
If the general response was, "You're right, I'm sorry. My desire to get rich quick and my failure to consider the fact that I was causing harm to others led me to make a mistake from which I will do my best to learn as much as possible.", I wouldn't have had to say another word.
