I agree. I believe what you are saying is accurate.
But at the same time you are using the same tactics that didn't work for Daniel, like asking users to actively fight or go away, blaming users, etc. Your words are telling. You are still hurt. And you still feel the need to be defensive about this. I can tell you, you don't need to be defensive. Once you move you, you are going to have peace on this. You folks are doing great work. Don't let drama break everything.
