@Undisciplined, perhaps you should go to the current Assmilker post to give your argument there, too. It seems people just cannot understand both the game theory or the incentive system without a cogent explanation.
To me, it looks like they are asking for the dissolution of SN through loss of participants because they are bellyaching about the proof of work rewards system.

I'm tired of tilting at their windmills. I don't think Darth's sycophants are acting in good faith, so I'm done engaging with them.

Yes, there is no use talking with someone that is blind and deaf.
There is a saying, “When you see a crazy man is arguing with a drunk, how do you tell which is which?”
Some people just blind and deafen themselves to any arguments because they ”know better”.

It is difficult to stay out of the middle of the arguments between crazy and drunk people. It is, in fact, very hard on the person in the middle, too.

That’s the whole problem, it’s real hard to tell who’s drunk and who’s crazy. Sometimes the drunks say they are crazy and sometimes the crazies say they are drunk.

Do sycophants ever act in good faith?

reply

I think you would be hard put to find one that did. I think their good faith is invested in the object of their sycophancy. Unless you are the object, you may get short shrift.
