RE: CryptoRESPECT. All of us need to stop trying to drown each other in public. We're hurting ourselves here!
In theory, its a great idea. However, i feel many here equate "respect" with "youre not allowed to criticize me or disagree with anything i say "
This is kind of implicit in your second example in the last section. Isn't it possible for someone to have a critical take on someone elses actions and still resepct them? I would say it is.
Yes, it is possible. But there's a fine line, from genuine conversation and fud. At the moment that line is very blurry, and there is no incentive to care.
There's a bigger problem here, that no one takes time to acknowledge. We're screwing this up for all of us, unless we pay attention to the damage we cause when we continue to do it the wrong way.
That's exactly what cryptorespect aims to do.. How to accomplish constructive criticism and debate, while not doing it like fart at a tradeshow. Because when too many people start farting at a tradeshow, the whole room stinks.
Right now, the entire tradeshow stinks. So tradeshows solve it by having a washroom. If you have to fart, its encouraged to do it there instead. :)
In this example, I was thinking of someone like daytrader who doesn't own any Coin B showing up to ask someone like Sunny King.
"Vitalik" or "Dan Larimer" or "Satoshi" thinks this is the better way as opposed to Coin A. What do you think of him or his work on Coin B? I think Coin B is flawed because of DEF and a scam.
Sunny King at that point might say I refuse to badmouth [xyz] as a developer or his work. However, I do suggest you ask him yourself [about your concerns] and let us know what you find.
The basic premise here is that if you have a problem with a project, it's best to pose your questions to that same development community in charge of that project.
What instead, people might like to do, is run over to, say, Coin A and ask the Coin A developer to make a derogatory comment about Coin B, so they can run around with a quote, trying to disrupt followers of Coin B. "Well Coin A dev said this about you and your development, so your project is a scam or stinks, or can't work, or ..."
There is no need for that type of fighting back and forth.
If you look at the Automotive Industry, for instance, car manufacturers usually promote their own car or truck and talk about its features. Very rarely do they spend marketing dollars trying to smear other auto manufacturers with half-truths, myths, and exaggerations. Doing that would just invite lawsuits, and they're all smart enough to hold on to their money and avoid legal battles over it.
It's this type of cross-community communication that is often abused. Hopefully I explained it better here in this reply to your comment.
