You even capitalized LOOSE, as if you were indicating that you knew that was misspelled but you were following the meme.

Ideally most discussions and arguments would academic in nature, but this is a business so I know that's very naive to wish for.I'm sorry .. I should have stated that somewhere: I am super naive and my wife keeps telling me so on a regular basis .. Disclaimer: I am in for the fun .. and to see a system grow that I think is superior to anything mankind has seen yet .. and I would never advise for or against any investment .. that's up to everybody else to decide .. but if you do .. my second sentence ALWAYS states: don't invest more than you are willing to LOOSE!Haha, I'm a little bit sad I get that joke...

It's not even started yet,once word got out "every dirt of Bitshares can easily find it on the forum",major investor would be scared away.keep in mind,share price\market depth,is the key to hold the BitUSD peg.Without that, BitUSD would have no liquidity.And those ordinary folks who trusted the "risk less than bitcoin" to buy into BitUSD,would've lost their money because of low liquidity in a black swan event that cause the share price to drop rapidly just because of you "like the way" and disregard for image.You may not have to care about the BTSX price,but you sure should care about how that would affect the BitUSD peg and the future of Bitshares . To suit your need for "open and active communication on the forum" for 200 or less people,you're essentially putting hundreds of thousands of people's right at risk, not to mention the future of this business.You need to think bigger,pinky.....I agree with that ..it seems we talked past each otherMy issue is,a) I like BM openly discussing his thoughts in open PROPOSALSb) I dislike people trading on yet to be finalized proposals and afterwards complaining about their loss - that is in NO WAY the devs fault!c) I do like open discussions about how to make the future brighter .. call me naive IMHO this is tough territory .. that's what early investors have to face .. and that's why they might profit the most from it ..IMHO we should take these huge steps to improve the system RIGHT NOW .. (read: "as early as possible") ...Disclaimer: for me .. all of this is a hobby and I am mostly fascinated about the tech .. again .. call me naive .. I know I am .. further more .. I haven't but serious money in this .. mainly because my wife is not as "brave" (read "stupid" or "naive") .. as I am .... people fearing for their existence due to the recent price drop shouldn't have invested that much in the first place ..maybe I am talking BS above .. because I am a tech guy, not an investor .. nor an economist ..

... perspective is everything.
Seems your trading strategy is flawed ...
b) I dislike people trading on yet to be finalized proposals and afterwards complaining about their loss - that is in NO WAY the devs fault!
Perspective is everything, there is no "objective" right thing to do in this case. The stories we choose to tell ourselves affect how we feel about things. So there you go... change the perspective and it changes the perception of "fair". Now back to work on making BTS great.
Openness does not contradict discretion.Just need to do better to achieve both.I want to go the the bathroom to take a dump......I tell you , "I want to take a dump",that's openness .I tell you , "I have a thing to do,talk to you later" , that's discretion.I tell you , "I need to use the bathroom" , that's both openness and discretion .Openness is not Post and Repost.....That's way too simplified.And as Bytemaster and stan have learned in the past year,a post without carefully thinking may even land themselves into potential legal trouble. They have a kiss ass legal team to sensor their word before other people,but they can't monitor every post to give legal advice.One wrong word , it changes everything.That's not a over statement.
