asciilifeform: nubbins`: if kako disagrees with mp, i expect that he will put this in writing and sign ?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: at least try leaving the joystick attached.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: dead pilots in the '30s-'40s were sometimes found with the control joystick literally torn from its moorings. they pulled against jammed flight surfaces and physically destroyed the stick. it did not help.☟︎
asciilifeform: let's imagine i agreed with nubbins` now.
asciilifeform: bbet is not demoocracy-powered and won't turn into it no matter how many tears.
asciilifeform: 'rabbling' is a Bad Thing and subtracts from otherwise good argument.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: do you understand the essence of what mircea_popescu said to you ? about 'rabble rousing' ?
asciilifeform: i could see a ' bbet shareholders believe that bbet is mismanaged ' angle, but ~it is THEIR business~ and not mine, and their one option is to get off the bus, as per the articles.
asciilifeform: so i do not see the ' mircea_popescu is cheating people ' angle.
asciilifeform: this is the part where i part from nubbins`'s interp.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i do not agree that the 17 was 'personal expense.'
asciilifeform: incidentally, i am not seeing a bbet shareholder stampede
asciilifeform: but i don't recall nubbins` being sad since day1
asciilifeform: and from my reading of the listing article, it appears to very clearly imply that it is mircea_popescu's thing and he can take the ball and go home, etc.
asciilifeform: he was driving the tank, and it got hit.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: from rereading the log, you can see that mircea_popescu considers the 17 btc to be a justified cost-of-war thing.
asciilifeform: the ~only thing i know about mpb is that 1) it is roughly compatible with 0.6 and 2) he fixed the db locks bug years ago, and shared with me the patch, a while back, and it is in trb
asciilifeform: trinque: i was explaining to nubbins` et al that hanbot, whom he dislikes, is actually more of a proper 'asseteer' than i, whom he seems to respect.
