I can't remotely agree. He shines a bad light on this community with abrasive, highly negative doom and gloom narratives basically declaring Dash to be on the brink of desaster unless we implement his oh so brilliant ideas. It's annoying, it's time wasting, it's disruptive and most importantly it leads newbies to believe what he says bears any merit because he's virtually in every thread, promoting his stupid polls (even when it's completely offtopic!) and creates the impression of being a Dash thought leader. He isn't. He is a loud idiot with crazy ideas completey divorced from reality. We haven't removed him because this community is too tolerant for its own good. I maintain my position of asking for a permanent ban. This isn't the first time and I'm not the first person to ask by the way. Shortly after he joined back in 2016 there was a thread dedicated to his removal.
He has accomplished nothing negative. You perceive a far greater threat than actually exists.
But... Does any of it impact on development?
I've made several very valid, applicable, and measurable points on bad direction of the DASH project. Might that affect newbies not to ponzi?
Do we care?
Progress is still being made, is it not? Did demo, or any of the fools who listen to him, cause code to stop being written?
I get that you don't like him. I don't like him either.
I'm the least patient person I know... Yet, I don't care to see him banned.
He does an important job. He invents every hairbrained, silly idea that could possibly conceived, and makes it easy to debunk. Thanks to him, there is no such thing as FUD that can survive. Trolls have no angle that hasn't been hammered to death with a giant debunking.
Useful idiot? Perhaps one could say that the only reason for his life is to serve as a warning to others on how not to be?
Stop worrying. He's accomplishing nothing of concern.
His "vote the numbers" concept is a half-measure solution of a real budget system failure. His limited ability to understand it, and limited creativity in deriving a solution, lead him to a dumb conclusion. But, it proves that even his dumb ass can see that there is a problem, and it remains un-addressed.
The only thing keeping the budget together anymore is the huge price of submitting turd proposals, thuis, preventing a vote on bad ideas from every happening and making MNOs look like a bunch of clueless suckers, like it did to itself back when DASH was cheap. MNOs didn't learn the lesson. They sure as hell won't ever admit I've been right about this for 2 years simply because they hate me... They just aren't getting the opportunity to make asses of themselves.
He's not worthless, but his value is not intentional. See, I can use tact...
