For those wishing to do actual research, esp. people such as profs mentoring students, ...

But keep in mind that you're wading into a highly politically charged research field
with billions hanging on the blocksize limit; understand that people aren't happy when
flawed papers end up on reddit being used to promote bad ideas. You'd be wise to run future
work past experts in the field prior to publishing widely if you dislike heated controversy.

Or, I could just point out the obvious rather than try to be polite: you know exactly why
the above makes no sense as a reply to this thread and are deliberately lying.

If the situation is the latter, your conduct is toxic to the development mailing list
discussion, not to mention a waste of all our time, and you should leave.

Researchers should also keep in mind that some of developers are immature and have limited knowledge or experience beyond their Bitcoin expertise ("Idiot-savants").  Others want to be in "charge" of drama-laced posts on reddit and they get upset if others do the same things.

In any case these rants and attacks by Todd and Garzik should be posted on their personal blogs or reddit instead of this list.
