I take it seriously enough; I have a civic interest in harm reduction in this area.

“Voluntary” cuts it when you’re talking amongst yourselves, but again: this is a public forum, not one specially for your interests. I get to voice common sense objections; that’s the point of this place.



Sure you get a voice. We can have a discussion.

But the point being made above is that we need someone's respect, someone's consensus, someone's approval to do what we are doing. And to that I say if you don't like what we are doing don't get involved.

That's all this has ever been!

This, of course, only holds as far as cryptocurrencies remain a non-risk to most "main street" investors. But they're creeping towards that group (as the next biggest free pool of capital), and I have a civic interest in those people not losing their shirts.

No man is an island, &c.
