There is a great danger in making judgments of someone based on anonymous comments. This is why we have a justice system, to protect individuals from the angry mob.
I lost money with Mt Gox, do I know Mark Karpeles did it? no, I don't.

Topic: My email to Coindesk.com regarding censorship/comments policy - page 2. (Read 2364 times)
I have questions about Marks role in the Gox debacle. I think we all do. That's what my first comment essentially asked; "Do we know yet what happened at Gox?"
As to your comment; I hate the fraudulent fractional reserve banking system, operated by the criminal private Federal Reserve Bank with their government awarded monopoly on money creation. They are parasites and they enable parasites.
But why did coindesk censor my comment about alternatives to using exhanges like Gox, yet slander, libel, and trolling wasn't? I was engaging another user and they deleted, without explanation, my comment. I don't understand how my comment went against the comments policy.
And I further don't understand why a comment that is obviously against their policy was not deleted.
WTF coindesk censor? Whoever you are.

Do you see them not living their life large?
That being said, I still believe that Mark is "innocent" in the way that he was fucked.
By who I do not know, but if I owned the world's largest BTC exchange and making a shit load of money out of it, I would keep at it.
I know I will probably get hammered for this especially from members who lost - sorry I didn't - but the fact remains (to me) IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!!!
Feel free to hammer me, I am looking at things as an outsider so please be gentle.

My first comment;
"Has the investigation revealed any criminal elements?
Or was it Caveat Emptor for Gox users, who misplaced their trust?
Will there be any recourse??
Erik Voorheis in his "Bitcoin A Libertarian Introduction" warned us about letting anyone else hold our private keys. This written warning was issued in April 2012. If you havent read it yet I highly suggest it. All very relevant still except the section on purchasing BTC. That's changed a bit since April 2012.
I know it's painful to lose money. My condolences to those who used Mt. Gox."
A reply from another reader;
"Well, your grandma doesn't know what private key is. She better to entrust her bitcoin to you. Otherwise she may lost their bitcoin because she doesn't have any backup while she lost her phone or someone stole her bitcoin by offering fancy games installed on her laptop. And you can make some money by becoming “Trustee”
Just make sure that you are:
• Trusted
• Reliable
• Insured
• Know what private key is and how to secure it"
My response/comment which was censored;
"I've helped numerous people get into BTC.
We use localbitcoins.com and electrum wallet.
I charge 3% of the total (in btc) plus gas if I have to drive.
Not one person who I've helped purchase btc has lost any.
I like to think I am trustworthy but I am all too human...
What scares me is that I know there are things I don't know.
Is Electrum as secure as I believe it to be?
Will there be a bitcoin 2.0 making btc 1.0 worthless?
Is having my associates pay a premium on localbitcoins.com to avoid "verified accounts" on the exchanges the best strategy??
Privacy>Maximum btc???
My grandparents are all dead...
But I know plenty of grandparents who are computer literate.
With Liberty (financial for now) comes responsibility. Part of my helping
people get into BTC is to bring to their attention awesome websites like
coindesk and informative articles like the one Erik wrote. I don't just throw them to the wolves."
I would like to know how this comment was in violation of the comment policy. Why was this comment deleted??
The comments policy states;
"
Constant trolling of others to get into arguments will be noticed. The appropriate action will be taken.
Any potentially libellous posting or comments in breach of copyright will be deleted.
And yet this comment by username d3rrl is allowed to stay;
"You mean Erik Voorheis the con man? yes, lets take more advice from him!"
And some responses to this comment;
"Everything this guy says (d3rrl) must be disregarded. He's a troll (period)!"
"Why did you call Erik V. a con man? The guy is as strait as they come."
"I am not aware of Erik being involved in any cons. Got a link to verify this libel??
Either way, the article I referenced above is not diminished by the allegations you raise.
Have you read it?"
So why was my respectful, thoughtful comment censored, meanwhile the obvious troll spewing libel stands?
I'm getting tired of this seemingly nonsensical censorship policy. It is plainly obvious I am not writing the libel or trolling. I am writing appropriate comments that are on point; comments which contribute to the discussion rather than ruin it. I would appreciate an explanation as to why my comment was censored yet the obvious trolling libel is not censored.
