this may sound petulant, and my apologies if it is, but i distinctly recall the user "s" pointing out in this forum the importance of cross-site request forgeries and the fact that many popular bitcoin-related websites were vulnerable to them. he (or she) then left the forum and deleted all his/her posts, having been pushed away by extreme libertarians.
this is another example of the tone of the forums posing a problem for the bitcoin community, which could benefit from a more inclusiveness, diversity of opinion, and politeness. if people had listened to "s" rather than dismissing that user's concerns as somehow hostile to bitcoin because they didn't 'toe the line', many problems could have been addressed months ago.

I take offense to lumping all of us libertarians together as if we are the problem. Please look over my post history and you will see that I simply don't engage in personal attacks or abusive behavior in general, even when viciously insulted. The people that are decrying anything that could devalue BTC are the people that are just into Bitcoin to make a few quick bucks. I'm in it for the long haul because I value economic freedom as a libertarian. I'd rather see the currency stabilize than make money. I have a source of income. I don't need to speculate. I also welcome disclosure of vulnerabilities because it puts pressure on administrators to fix the problem as well as notifies the community that they should think twice about trusting the keys to the kingdom without considering risk. Please rethink your opinion on libertarians because even when the speculators are long gone, we will still be here wanting to use this currency.
