quote [ "Bitcoin has changed my life," says the charity's founder. "I have far more money than I can ever spend.
"My aims, goals and motivations in life have nothing to do with having XX million or being the mega rich. So I'm doing something else: Donating the majority of my bitcoins to charitable causes." ] Something something positive posts.

It's not about being malicious or hateful it's about derailing the conversation. Norok spreads some pretty ignorant ideas that we shouldn't even have to be entertaining. He's claimed that socialists don't care about poor people because they just hate the rich, in another thread he says he's against socialised medicine because he shouldn't have to pay contribute to others health (apparently not understanding how insurance works), he's upmodded white supremacy bullshit, any mention of capitalism's faults lead to anti-socialist rants. To name a few.
If you're trying to have a conversation with your friend about Earth's tectonic plates because Mount St Helen is show activity again and their little brother shows up and start going off on claims of a Flat Earth, would you say that's derailing of the conversation? Can you see how that fucks the conversation if you go from discussing an actual issue like volcanic activity to arguing about whether or not the earth is flat with somebody who isn't going to listen to anything you say and may not even be capable of grasping what you're talking about?
