Topic: [SCAM] BLOCKNET: The Metcalf/Prom Alt-Coin Cartel Scam Exposed - page 7. (Read 100174 times)

It is comforting to see that you are eloquent enough to write the above sentences, however your behavior and posts seem to be in contrast with kenotic activity.

First of all, you have vested financial interest regarding blocknet and it is very hard to detach oneself from financial position and be unbiased observer. For instance, one of your latest post was about the blocknet price:
 DO NOT POST SESC LINKS
and yet the price did go down.

You cannot make these type of statements and consider yourself an ethical person. You remind me of a HBS professor of ethics who was on the BoD of Marriott before they did a Chariot project that screwed their debtholders big time.

Even writing books about ethics doesn't mean your actions are ethical.

I don't think you're a troll. I think that some (but not all) of your posts undermine constructive critical discussion.


Ethics is one of my specialties. If you look me up on the internet you'll see that my background is in analytical philosophy. I've done a lot of reading on ethics and metaethics, and several formal courses in it too.

Lastly, a component of my ongoing research in sign action is specifically about a "kenotic" mechanism in semiosis. In processes of sign action, when an entity comes to function as a sign-vehicle, it expresses a fascinatingly "unselfish" or "self-sacrificing" tendency. (I use these terms in quotation marks because sign-action pertains as much to inanimate interactions as it does to personal ones, and so the terms only apply analogously.)

Now since sign-action is a model of how things come to be, this "kenotic" principle partially comprises the being of things.

Secondly, since sign-action is a model not only of how things come to be, but also of why they are what they are rather than being something else, there's a normative aspect to it.

This normativity in the being of things is the germ of ethicality in general: it is able to ground an explanation of how it is even possible in the first place for there to be an ethics of anything. So the thesis of this component of my work is that "kenosis" is part of the functioning of everything, and it is through kenotic activity that ethics arises.


The above should help explain my focus on ethics, and why ethicality informs the way I approach my work in crypto.
In particular, my emphasis on empathy - on knowing the perspective of another - arises from my view that kenotic ("unselfish") activity grounds ethicity.

The dictatorship at XC with no communication to XC foundation on what's happening development wise is exactly why we left.The XC fanboys now make up a story that Antoun and I extorted XC funds.
We never received even one XC coin for our work and efforts on the foundation and the foundation is supposed to know what developments are happening,but instead,nothing was communicated to us.
Absolute alienation from the XC team and a great shame for the XC community.

How is my lawsuit going ?

and no i don't give shit about your version of your rules..

and spare us the ethics speech while you scam the scene for 900k with lies and games buddy.

How do you know this?

Bobsurplus moved to bitbay. they buy and pump their own icos and dump on noobs

nobody knows the real bitbay dev because it is bobsurplus and his pump team scamming noobs again

they already bought all their own coins now the only real pump now is getting more people to give them btc in their ico

then it is to pump the coin to put worth to they coins they has got for free

they left bittrex because there is no more money to scam there now time to empty out bter

No I didn't. Referring to "the crazies on this thread" does not entail that every poster on this thread is crazy.


I know very well what "ethical" means. I live up to it too. I wish I could show you all some of the conversations I've had in the background here. Unfortunately my *ethics* require me to get consent before publishing private conversations, so that's not gonna happen.

Ah well, patience is a virtue. In due time you'll all come to see the way I practice what I preach.

In the meantime, do as you will...

Who moved? Why do you think so?

Arlyn, you keep doing that. You are calling people "trolls" including myself.

Thank you for trying to defend your understanding of ethics, however I have to say that you have very strange understanding what does "ethical" mean. I would suggest you reading on ethics. HBS have very nice papers on business ethics, you can pick the ones you like. In the meantime, please, stop using the word "ethics".

- The posts I delete that you might call "legitimate questions" are the ones where people come across as if they're entitled to demand that developers conform to their expectations, or demand that we answer every little worry and concern. This is a case of people not taking our perspective into account when posting.


- The Blocknet was never marketed as a 450-900% profit investment.
- I posted a cursory analysis of fundamentals, which some trolls twisted to be "advice". The analysis was then removed and an apology was issued due to it having been misinterpreted.
- That said, I'll be very surprised if the Blocknet doesn't represent a much higher value once its tech is delivered and it matures as a platform.


- Umm... to market something is always to call people to invest in your product.
- So all marketing is unethical?
- This is an absurd point of view.


- I did not "call legitimate chat logs fake"
- I called them unverifiable. There's a big difference there.
- And I cast doubt on their authenticity.
- I maintain my former position: they were modified (some more than others; minimum modification being omitting certain context-specifying parts), and they were used to present a radically skewed and malicious interpretation of the facts.


- I did not call Prometheus an ethical investor.
- I call him a non-scammer.
- And I called him a capitalist.


- Yes it is.
- The ITO was a success because the Blocknet will be built.
- Hence I'm cheerful.
- "My" investors are losing money? Market exposure sir. That's what investors take on in order to profit. Get a grip.
- Lastly, it's generally agreed that the Blocknet is not a short term hold. This does not take away from the fact that the ITO is a success and that the Blocknet will be built.


etc.

Should I be surprised your one piece of feedback is a recent message from Spoetnik calling you a worthy trader      

Regardless whether or not BlockNet becomes a success, your behavior cannot be regarded as ethical. I urge you to reconsider your usage of words ethical, ethics and alike.
1. It is not ethical to label legitimate questions as FUD and trolling and delete them

2. It is not ethical to market BlockNet as 450-900% profit investment

3. It is not ethical to call people to invest in your product

4. It is not ethical to call legitimate logs fake

5. It is not ethical to call Prometheus an ethical investor

6. It is not ethical to post cheerful posts regarding ITO success when your investors are losing money

Are you serious? Who made up a story that you extorted funds?

You never received even one XC. True.

You also never delivered a single report of any work - nor any fruits of your alleged labour - to the community, despite the fact that I tried to touch base with you a while back and to check whether you were in fact doing something. But you weren't, you were doing things for QiBuck instead. You simply did not bring anything to the table for XC, despite my encouraging you to do so and to check in with me regularly.

As for a "dictatorship", do you recall your sharp injunction to me a few months back to "get your people in line" when you made an arse of yourself and the community turned against you? My response to you was that you were being authoritarian and that I thought it was unethical. And now you call me a dictator? That's inconsistent.

Given that you've supported a disciplinarian approach publicly in the past, what sort of problem might you have with a dictatorship? I'm at a loss as to what you might say here.


The way I moderate: I welcome, as always, constructive criticism, and I do not welcome accusatory, uncivil, abusive, or deceitful posts. As always. The perception by the crazies here that I'm a "dictator" has everything to do with the unawareness of what it is to consider the perspective of another person when addressing them. Most abusive posts are the result of someone bashing others over the head with his/her opinion about the "truth".

There cannot be constructive critical discourse without a clear awareness of the perspectives of the other people participating. Lose this and you just get a bunch of people sincerely and truthfully shouting at each other. If you want to avoid polarising a discussion, you simply must come alongside other people and demonstrate that you're not against them.

*This* is my so-called "dictatorship". Call it what you like, but I value it highly.

You called me and others crazy.

You are such a hypocrite. Please, stop using the work ethical. You really don't understand what does it mean.
