When you sell people Darkcoins and then suddenly rebrand them with no consensus or warning, that is the 'bait-and-switch' form of fraud.
Successful coins' devs don't violate their social contract with unilateral decisions.
You got the order wrong in your last sentence. The order was decision, plan, announce, debate. Not the way you have it.
Making it look like an inclusive process after the fact is especially obnoxious.

Not like you own any Dash so why are you here? Its like if my neighbour buys a red car, reads statistics and sees that red cars are stoped more frequently by cops and decides to pain it blue! And then I get soooo pissed on him for doing it!
You are not addressing my points about the importance of devs respecting their community. You are just complaining that I had the temerity to make them.
If you sell a black car to someone who likes black cars, but then sneak into their garage one night and paint it pink ("because reasons"), that is NOT OK.
But this:
after careful consideration, reading all the posts from everyone for the last few days and weighing every argument, I believe it is best if we make it official that were going with DASH. At this point our priority is to have closure so we can move on
IOW, this project is solely the property of its owner and *not* the community. DarkDashCoin is Evan's plaything, to modify as his whims dictate.
Bellyaching cult members need to stop complaining, shut up, grab their pom-poms, and cheer louder. All Hail DuffCoin!
DuffCoin
Unproven Crypto. Undemocratic. Premined. Trusted 2nd Tier. Proof of Stake. Completely Shitty.
.....say's:
I'm a fucking troll who supports Monero, so I'm coming here to spread a load of fucking vile shit to piss everyone off and get them to support Monero.
It also says:
Some Monero supporters evidently feel the need to use underhand tactics to support their project.
As a Monero bag holder since the early days when they were dumped on Polo, I work on the basis that the project should stand on its own two feet and not rely on guerilla warfare tactics to try and get ahead.
Your approach smells of someone that would step over their dead relatives body to take a look at their will to see if you're in it before you grieve.
