Wait a minute. Are you suggesting that spending time communicating with other people about an issue you care about is wasting time?

Physician, heal thyself.

I want to be clear, I'm not defending anyone. I'm simply pointing out that your reasoning is crap and you should probably be a little embarrassed by it. The goal you've set in the means by which you are implicitly pursuing it is ultimately going to be self-destructive, and you should know that.

I'm simply saying that you should be honest about what you want and what you mean. I really don't care how much other people are pulling out of the system because I recognize that it is inherently slanted, from day zero, the white paper, to reinforce self-reflective efforts to generate higher hit rates from the reward pool. That is to say, self voting and clade voting are designed into the system to be extremely rewarding, the more so as you gain more SP for leverage.

Acting outraged about that is ignorant.

If the defense of your position is "well, you probably shouldn't bother trying to communicate with me," you should at least be honest about that. If the worst and most scurrilous slander you can provide is, "you're too smart and using too many words," I'm probably just going to cop to that and wonder, publicly, why you bother being here at all.

You can't defend yourself based on the arguments you presupposed. Or won't. You can't defend yourself based on critique of your philosophy. Or won't. And you won't actually engage in discussion.

What is it you're doing, then? Is it just making a post so that rah-rah people can dump their up votes on it so that you can take some money out of the pool? Isn't that exactly what you're criticizing?

I don't mind hypocrisy just so long as we're honest and upfront about it.
