That's how I feel, my words get turned upside down and inflated 100 times more than it should be, also I tried to meet in common ground and grow Blurt together even if we are at odds, but doesn't seem that is desired. The only desire is to disarm Blurt to have extremely low vote participation, where even their own funds would be at risk and chase off any talent that knows how to support the chain or protect it in an attack.

Yeah, I saw them keep pushing for a war despite your parley. I'm not reading that much about that now. But I hope they will move on finally. Or maybe forking is what they all need.
My personal opinion is that people just want accountability. For me personally had you said," look guys I made a mistake, I got emotionally reactive and I acted in a way that were not the values I set out on the site when I threatened to mute users for buying too much blurt, using vts, saying things I didn't like etc. I am just a human and I made a mistake, I will try and make sure that I really think through big things before I make a post declaring it is going to happen or be sure to write on the top of my posts this is purely my opinion and I am interested in seeing what the community think'. If I post something on my account I am a nobody so everyone knows it's just my opinion, because of your position if you say something like 'I will freeze accounts' it is taken to be factual. I really think it is important to really really think about announcements in advance and pass them in front of several team members who have totally different opinions before making them public so as they are not emotional reactions. I think people got rly pissed off when there were just excuses about the account freezing and pretending it was never said that it wasn't going to happen or that the post was a joke, or all kinds of excuses I read. This leads to a lack of trust and just annoys people 1000 times more than the original post, I know it did me. I don't think people are being personal, more focused on the actions, sure a couple of people have gotten far too aggressive with words and gone way off topic but this is the Internet I guess it is part of the territory these days, even more so when money is thrown in to the mix and the possibility of losing large amounts. If you actually still agree with your statement then you have to stand by it and be prepared that people who don't like freezing accounts etc would leave, but it seems to be being said that it's not even possible to freeze accounts so then it is just an empty threat and again loses trust. People generally, or the decent loyal people, just want authenticity, they have already been through two sites in many cases and are just looking for a home for free speech and people not forcing them into a corner and telling them what to do with their stake. This site is advertised as a place of free speech and movement and if it gets threatened after their third attempt of joining something I think a lot of ppl will just get fed up and leave. Ctime and mmmmkk are the biggest upvotes and I always see them choose good quality content. I really think without them people will be earning 50 p and as much as people want to support blurt patience is going to run thin when a post can't even buy a 6th of a cup of coffee in a cafe and thats because the biggest investors were kicked off.
