Man, this is just funny.
I got to know Darth when I was a noob umbrel router. was searching for guides, run into his, and asked him if he wanted to open a channel together. The response was like: "what the fuck, what is your node doing..." he made a lot of "requests" to fix my node and then MAYBE he will open a channel with me. It was a long list, and i went to fixing and learning. he answered all my questions, helped me learn new things... my node flourished, and thanks to his advice, now i run only private nodes.
Another time, in a bitcoin telegram channel, I said something with poorly chosen words, and he lit on me like he knows with shitcoiners. was really funny to me, coz he misunderstood my message.
Over time I learned a few things that not many stackers know about him and then he clicked to me.
If you know the latino passion and temperament and his background, I can only feel respect and gratefulness to have him around. can be sure he's not going to sugar coat and will tell you to the face what is necessary, like it or not
I am grateful for him as well. He helps many. I don't deny that. I think we can be helpful without shitting on people. What do you think? Does talking down to people help them learn? I find compassion to be more productive. Maybe that's just me.

assmilkers and shitcoiners deserve a fat bitchslap trough the monitor, for their own sake. it's better to apologise later than not to do it at all ;)

Do you think that is productive? Has anyone helped you change by talking down to you? In my experience, I am better at helping someone make a change by being compassionate and meeting them where they are. Shit talking is childish, no? And I have yet to see him show humility..

i only wish to have had a mentor like him trough life to tell me: "what the fuck are you doing you idiot.." or slap me when needed

I guess I learn differently. I don't like being told what to do in that way. I like for someone to explain why for me instead of putting me down. I guess I am overly sensitive.

i think if the slap is educational, it's fine. just bullying for the sake of bullying, deserves a slap itself
reply
I can see that. I just don't think it's necessary. I think there are other ways to get people to open their eyes. I know he wants to do good. Just different approaches. My main point was to empower people not to play the victim.

he's probably heavily on the spectrum and has poor social calibration so rains down hell on anything perceived as ass milking lol
i wouldn't worry too much, it's just an internet forum after all

I am not worried at all. I am just speaking for those who may feel to afraid to speak for themselves. I love the fact that stacker is open for us all to share however we feel the need to.

NO, you are just gaslighting and being part of the problem.
