We have never had a discussion in Curie. And I never had a reason to "back off" because I have never attempted to "attack" anybody. I have been respectful, including in my conversations with @donkeypong, @hanshotfirst, and @ned.
lol i think hes confusing you with me. Back when curie first started up, i commented on a post that i was skeptical about the effectiveness of the model because the way it funded itself (curie posts and curie founders getting thousands in rewards for statistics and self congratulation) worked at cross-purposes to its stated intent (getting more money to those producing quality content).
The response was a slew of profanity, threats and assorted nonsense in both chat and the thread. Including threats of a blacklist (which were later deleted and revised. Apparently in whatever language they speak on the alien's home planet the word "blacklist" means "mute-button". Who knew.)
When another user (who quit soon after) saw the absurd rant in chat, he posted about it, but was pressured by curie to remove the post.
