Thank you @megadrive for your well-tempered words. I'm here because you already said "sorry" in another comment. That's actually enough and I accept the apology. Incantations of the solidarity of the last, righteous people also sound nice, but in view of the massive damage I have suffered as a result of an obviously wrong decision by the foundation, the appeal does not really tempt me to new activities.

You and I could analyze what actually happened. But that doesn't make much sense either. Because intrigues don't need analysis. This clandestine weapon is what the word says. The foundation followed a lie. Unreflective and without counter-check. Your own high reputation, by which you measure yourself, suffers as a result. I can almost feel it making you think.

But being offended, self-reproach and lamentation is useless. People fail. This is especially true in a setup where money is involved. Therefore, it should rather be considered how to avoid such traps. I think that the principle of an open discourse is a basic requirement to protect DPOS from avoidable wrong decisions. The problems and fortunes of a DPOS blockchain must not be negotiated in Discord backrooms. This is how you mix a democratic system with the private. There lies the poison of conspiracy, seduction and in the end the guaranteed crash of all dreams.
