I hope you're not directing that towards me because I haven't been throwing tantrums or making demands. I am just stating what I believe to be the truth. I also wonder why you would want people to leave when the best thing for Monero is MORE people adopting it and hanging onto it.
If someone wants to whine and cry about the price they have every right to do so. If you want to call them names and tell them to leave that's your right as well. In the end however, a few large holders of this coin will never be enough for it to be successful. So insulting and telling people to leave Monero is the worst thing you could do. I saw this happen with Darkcoin where a few large holders became extremely arrogant and alienated a large portion of the people that wanted to support the coin. I see this now happening with Monero where a few large holders think that the coin belongs to them and that others are deemed to be parasites for questioning their all knowing wisdom about things that nobody knows what the outcome will be.
It seems that a few people decided that they could take their wealth and just turn Monero into the next bitcoin. The only way that will ever happen is by attracting supporters of this coin not alienating them. Even then it's a long shot at best. But best of luck with your method of attracting people to Monero. Calling people parasites doesn't seem to be the best method however.

It was obviously directed at your FUD, most specifically these threats and ultimatums:

If any cryptocurrency wants to be around in three years then it needs to offer something people want and it needs to offer it now. If it doesn't it won't be around in three years, monero included.
Telling people it might take three years is like shooting yourself in the foot. People aren't going to do that. They are already losing patience
as proven by the recent selling. People want results now. That's just a fact of life.

The sooner the impatient and panicky weak hands sell to patient and wiser hloders the better it is for Monero, for at least two reasons.
One, the strong hands tamp down volatility, invest in the dev team, and build out the platform. Two, the weak panicky hands will have to buy back at a higher price, which rewards forbearance.
Your comparison of XMR to DRK is invalid because the former is 100% legit while the latter is a scamcoin (complete with MadoffNodes).
It seems I struck a nerve, as you chose to respond with yet more FUD, threats, and ultimatums. The pump-and-dump crowd you speak on behalf of and defend do have a niche in the market ecosystem, as do parasites in biology (they increase host resilience and complexity).
