Well, actually, I came here because of the outrageous posts Newmine was making. I couldn't believe someone would behave like that, but there it was all over this forum.
We went for over a year without stopping by, figuring that folks interested in what we were doing would naturally drop by bitsharestalk.org to visit us.
Naively, we had no idea that the trolls over here were doing non-stop character assassination without rebuttal all that time.
We wondered, "What's everybody got against a couple of harmless farm boys from Virginia trying to solve some well-known problems that everybody agrees need to be solved?"
Then somebody pointed out that the usual suspects were lurking in our forum looking for anything they could rush over here and spin negatively. The OP here is a typical example.
And there was the legitimate complaint that we never honored this community with any input. Fair point.
So I decided to spend equal time here and back home with the hope of making some friends and clearing the air.
A lot of guys wondered why a busy COO would bother with a bunch of hostile uninformed chatter. I hoped that by engaging in some friendly rational discussion I could remind folks that we're just ordinary people trying to make a difference the best we can.
So I keep coming by, recognizing that there will always be folks who try to drive away anything but their pet coin. That's ok. We get a lot of new supporters who would otherwise never hear our side of things.
And that's worth every minute.
