On a related note, censoring jbreher's posts was less than wise IMO. He's still an apostate living out of the Grace of Bitcoin, but some of the points he makes contain enough thought to deserve discussion (and civilized flaming, including the occasional f'off).

I agree. Being able to delete posts comes with great responsibility. Act accordingly.
Or in other words: don't moderate this thread to an even bigger circle jerk. Nobody gains from this and it just forces discussion elsewhere. You end up moderating an informationless thread with just memes and price cheering (which sounds awfully familiar to a certain heavily moderated reddit sub).
Nobody is for censorship, but if you think you can have "discussion" with jbreher you are welcome to try it yourself. He just spams nonsense based on pulling what is being said out of context. That's reflected in his style of writing where he randomly quotes dozen of posts, and then using that to avoid any reasonable argument. If that kind of "discussion" is forced elsewhere it is not a loss, it's a gain IMHO.
+1 for moderators.
