Do you think we should have a rewards pool and a leaderboard? Seems like a good discussion to have. And you didn't even have to click on it. You say you are sick of it and then posted a comment, why?
I think it's a great discussion to have that's completely lost in this little pissing match.

Darth doesn't have discussion. He tells people how it is so this is how that goes..He invites this on himself. I agree that ego comes in and it makes it harder to discuss..I would prefer less drama but here we are..I'm going to do my best to leave names out in the future. The drama can be alluring.

This is what he is. He feels entertained insulting others.

Have you tried ignoring him? I know he's probably the only one replying sometimes so it can be tempting to engage but since he isn't really replying to you, just getting his kicks in with insults, maybe ignoring him is easier? But I see how that's not really good enough because noobs are going to engage with him and get trolled by him which is bad for the site

It's definitely a good idea. I often do. There is also a side of me that feels protective over people who are new here and are put off by him so sometimes I want to get involved. I want stacker to invite new people in. And overall in Bitcoin culture, I don't find the toxic maxi vibe to helpful in onboarding. Bitcoin has a bad rap thanks in large part to this type of this behavior. He doesn't hurt my feelings in the slightest. I am way past that. It's like a bully in school. At some point I would want to get involved to stick up for someone who isn't finding their own voice. But I see that ignoring him is the best for the most part.

Yeah. I appreciate his work with the guides and helping people learn technical things. And I have learned many times over to 'kill my heroes'. Trust in myself. And there are some people that put him on a pedestal. I just want to be a positive force here and it's a tricky balance. 👀

That's because they are working. I am sure they are observing though. Why would they get involved in the muck. They have great intentions and they will do whats best for the community as a whole. I know this because I feel it. Darth doesn't run it but he thinks he can control things. When we seek to control, we lose ourselves and all control. He is a self proclaimed gatekeeper. Very ego driven in my view. That's not going to work for him long term.

Darth has been here longer than any of us, and presumably has been Darth the entire time. I've seen him get into it with k00b the same way he gets into it with everyone else. I'm fairly positive Darth is going to Darth regardless of what anyone would like to see happen.

I bet you are right. And it's good that he is here overall. I think he helps a lot of people. And I also am going to be me and speak my truth in my way. I'm working on not making stuff so personal..I have work to do.
