Exception, you are allowed to gloat if you 1) have worked on consensus protocols and know how difficult they are and/or 2) predicted the issue in advance. Gün passes both these tests

Looks like I called out the problem in Solana months before it happened. twitter.com/CollinCusce/st…

Not totally sure about that -- he def passes (1), but jury's still out on (2) and indicatively I think it might be somewhere in between "hard to tell, claim was vague" and "that's not what happened"

(To be clear, it's still bad that this happened! It's no more or less bad because some people on the internet might have mistaken it for a different bad thing. Though it's not great form to kick someone when they're down but also be wrong about the kick. Which maybe he isn't!)

He doesn't kick anyone, and his followers say "he told you so", this is the lightest reaction one could get in this crazy space where thousands of scams exist. Not suggesting solona is scam but it could have been more attentive to critiques now it's time to listen.

yeah this is a tricky case -- I'm pretty sure that the public perception of what happened is wrong but it's really hard to tell it he knew that or what he thought given how vague his statements on it are. Mostly I think he was being kind of a dick here (and happened to whiff).

er maybe I should partially retract that -- too early to tell in the same way the original statements were too early to tell

There’s gotta be some way to articulate what went wrong without being a dick but yeah sometimes it’s tricky. Nevertheless there was a lot of non-tricky toxic behavior yesterday.

Maybe it’s not possible to have it not be a little prickly when people have money on the line? I don’t know. I really like the topic. I definitely have certain lines (which most people may think are mild) that if I see someone cross I’d never work with or trust them.

Replying to

Hm, I'm wondering which you're talking about! And who you're talking about articulating what went wrong. AFAIK most descriptions of went wrong weren't just a bit dickish, they were also either incorrect or too underspecified to judge

I was talking about both albeit poorly and convoluted :) This tween doesn’t even register on the correct or specified scale. And to me there’s a direct correlation between further off into outer space and toxicity that triggers me.
