There seems to be no interest from the users, though. Quite the contrary, some of them seem more or less offended by even considering it.
This seems to be pretty common reaction. Some people are offended that some company would consider accepting bitcoin. What is the harm, you don't have to touch bitcoin with a 10-feet pole if you don't want to?
This is really interesting.
A little while ago I spent like 72 hours starting a thread and discussing Bitcoin on the most popular German silver-forum.
The thread was quickly filles with total irrational reactions and personal insults from other forum members. Most of them did not have a clue what they were talking about but accused me as if I had suggested to give Satan a blow job.
People tend to live in their belief systems and whenever these belief systems are questioned they panic and overreact. The stronger the belief the stronger the reactions.

I read this thread. You where great Joe.
But you said it: Believe System. You can't argue with or even propose something different to people that strongly believe into something.
Religion is shurely the best example but there are so many others:
Alternative Medicine, Religion, The the state is always right Patriots, , The the state is always wrong Tinfoil-hats, Astrology, Recycling, Organic Food, Vegetarians, Meat Eaters, etc. basically everything.
and even Money. Many People believe that money* = value even proposing that you could use something different too, is blasphemy. (*Or Silver in the case of your thread)
