The unfortunate thing about people who are impervious to reason, is that earnest efforts to help them come to terms with their lack of comprehension will usually just come across as insults and attacks.

You are soooooo rght!

Epic thread of attempts to spark comprehension in the pig-headedly wrong is unwinnable - yet so full of win!

Sadly - I'm adding Becoin to my (very short) ignore list. The unfortunate thing about people who are impervious to reason, is that earnest efforts to help them come to terms with their lack of comprehension will usually just come across as insults and attacks.

oh who am I kidding.. insults and attacks are sometimes earned. .. I'm calling it. OP is just *stupid*! Move along folks.

I'm getting a lot of complaints that people though the subject meant the BFL wasn't honoring refunds, and people are irritated that they're getting worked up before discovering that becoin just wanted BFL refunds to act as a hedge against bitcoin's exchange rate relative to the dollar changing.... so I've changed the thread's subject.

gmaxwell, you do not deserve to be a moderator in this forum.
What you've done is a blatant violation of every code of ethics for forum moderation!

I'm not surprised that the quality of this forum is degrading very fast.

This is non-sense. Did BFL sell me bitcoins to purchase ASIC? No. I've bought those bitcoins many months before they were sent to BFL! Do you know what is the meaning of currency hedge?

You know, I was planning to either move this to Off-Topic or trash this trollish thread too. I see that gmaxwell went the ingenious route now. Cheesy

He corrected a blatantly wrong and sue-worthy thread title

So, he sided with a scam! Sweet. And you say he is protecting the forum?!

What part of "Sue them." do you not comprehend?
Oh right, you don't sue them because, Bitcoin.

No, it's not. He corrected a blatantly wrong and sue-worthy thread title into something objectively correct in order to protect both the forum (from lawyers) and its users (from misinformation). His action is in fact one of only two correct moves a moderator of any moderately sized board can and should take in this circumstance (the other is deletion/removal of the offending thread).
