You can't waste your energy like that. Or at least you shouldn't. Also, compartmentalize. I like that Prof guy, but when it comes to Monero Maximalism or It's All The Jews I don't care for it. Take the good stuff, forget about the rest. And by the way, there are very few monero maxi types out there. Most are more reasonable.

I have been able to have a reasonable conversation with you, but the same cannot be said for others. Besides putting aside the debate, as I have already said, it is stupid to fight among ourselves when we complement each other and need each other. I have not criticized Monero again; on the contrary, I have even shown tools such as Eigenwallet. So it is a bit exhausting to have to deal with these individuals. And because of people like that, I used to lump everyone together.

The more we put self-assured useful idiots in their place, the more we can make the atmosphere reasonable.
The problem is that you don't convince anyone with that attitude. Having misguided ideas and being a misguided person are two wildly different things - one is flexible and changeable, the other is not. You have to assume - my opinion, anyway - that you can help them see something they are not seeing (and be humble enough to realize it can happen to you too), and the way you do that is not by calling them idiots. It might be satisfying to your ego, but it will only make them dig deeper into theirs. I am more of the sense that everyone should be trying their best to keep their egos out of it. Ego only distorts, and it's a very low vibration to be in, anyway. As I said man, I generally enjoy your posts. But in this I think you go too far. Please think about it.
There's a lot of cool Monero people out there, most are not like that. It's the same for Bitcoiners and basically everything else. And yes, it's important to keep in mind what really matters (about those matters) - and it's not bitcoin vs monero, it's bitcoin + monero. By the way, criticize Monero all you want. As long as it's coming from a constructive place, it can be useful too. Lack of constructive criticism breeds complacency.
