But that's okay duboisi. Like georgem is saying, we can do that here. BCT is a jungle where ideas can fly up down, backwards, sideways, inside out all while be admired, attacked, loved, hated, worshipped, scorned. Sometimes the most hideous environments are the place where new people will find you. That's what BCT's for. As an example, I found out about Darkcoin on the BTC-e trollbox early last year. They were all mocking it and calling it "Dork". That led me to searching for it and now I'm here. So these hostile and nasty environments serve a purpose too.
The most important thing is to remember there will always be trolls and FUDsters. While it's important to correct their blatant lies and mud slinging once or twice, it's the continual interaction with them that does the real damage. Just letting them do their stuff and remaining dignified and above it, actually advertises the substance involved. Not reacting and getting "hooked" into their web of hostility is the key.
