OK...
here's my thinking.
1. Y has a bit of all of us in him... he's a hoper, a doubter, a cynic, a gambler, a loser, a fighter etc... so far he's been down on his luck on the 'winning' side as he made a fundamental investment mistake by selling at a point he should not have.
2. He represents all of our hopes AND fears.
3. Every community has its fool, village idiot, angry teen misfit, mentally handicapped... civilised societies have evolved to give these people support... to help better them... and everyone deserves 1 chance.
4. At the moment he's the thorn in the side... and as you say 'the zit'... which is apt as you commonly get zits when you go through growth change as the body's regulatory hormone balance has not adapted to dealing with the sudden change in growth. You're correct... he's lottos growth zit, uncomfortable and needs ointment, not squeezing out as this just causes infection and a bad scar.
5. I am not suggesting a payout to keep him quiet... no... this would just encourage other idiots to troll the forum in the hope they will get a payoff... but hear me out... this guy was part of the community... fell on bad times... was too risky with his investment... panicked when he shouldn't, lost his bottle when all the signs were there that the market was about to turn... frustrating and part of the learning curve... we all do it and there will be many more to come.
6. I say, that as a community give this guy a helping hand... he's persistent in his approach and hopefully will use this as time goes on to benefit the community... if he learns by his mistake to manage his investment better and play the 'walls' game, If he doesn't and he comes back with more hate then this will show him up as the complete dickhead he is currently being painted as... but for the sake of a bitcoin lets help this creature get back on track and show that as a community we can. I'm not as rich as the DEV team but I'll donate 50,000 if the DEVS raise 5 million for this guy.
7. He sold at 12... so some lucky investor got lucky with Ys stash and can either sell and profit or hold ad possibly benefit from Ys mistake... he's already done another community member/investor a massive favor so let him get a payback.
8. Great publicity all round if he's given a leg up and proves himself to be a strong and contributing member of the community.
