I do not think Adam is the huge problem in the big picture too. I do also miss the times when his criticism carried a nonce of positivism.
Posters like yourself are the exact reason all my pep has been drained from this project. You don't like me and you argue with me because I bring up stuff you don't want brought up, and you couch this by attacking the 'way I bring things up' instead of engaging on the actual topic.
In other projects (Counterparty, Mastercoin, NXT, Ethereum) people want to explore the things that might not work because by addressing them you have a greater potential of fixing them before they become very big problems that impact much larger portions of the project.
Here since AGS started (and people became "ALL IN") people with divergent opinions have been shouted down by people who dont want to talk about potential negatives since they are in their eyes "FUD".
So my negativity comes from knowing that no matter what I post, I will be attacked because I am asking a question others do not want to ask and definitely dont want to hear answered (unless its good). Bitshares is unique in this, and it's not a happy distinction.
