The maturity level of this community is quite low. At least fluffypony is a respected developer in the alt coin world. Have some respect guys !
I do agree. Unfortunately this forum is a place for people to hide behind masks. Vetting is good for projects, helpful and makes them better. Venting is not good for projects, does no good and pushes away potential ideas and different ways to think about solutions.
Critique on ideas is good and this is one place to vet them. Instead of being so outspoken when someone says "what about this" why not say nothing and learn from what's being discussed. Contribute if it helps, otherwise don't. I'm sure some folks intent is to
defend the product. That shouldn't be anyone's mindset with innovative ideas. It's ok to say "but, wait, what about?"
In the real world, innovation doesn't happen in a vacuum. Ideas need to be shared
BY ANYONE and should be critiqued
BY EVERYONE. Some work some don't. But don't try to figure out "tone" and imply what someone is saying different about an idea just by reading words from an un-faced person in a forum. What good does that do?
Not everyone is going to agree 100%. THAT IS OK! Can we get some thicker skin here and not take every "what if" personally?
