I don't tend to write in the forum but I do like to read  and learn a lot from it. In my own eyes there is a lot of wrong doing here and this is not a good image for  NEM.  What I don't understand  as the above statement says I totally agree that the latest round of sock removals was handeled pretty terribly.  why are these people not given their NEM if this is the case?

Also, I like to know how this guy if he is not in the NEM team how does he know  so much? what kind of information he has access to and why?  Is you are not a member of the NEM team why do you get involved in certain areas regarding NEM? I am worry if a member that is not part of the team has certain information. I did not like the heat of the discussion of the last few days from both sides, this is not good at all and they should reach an agreement and talk like civilise people and stop all this non sense. If they are the legitimate  owners of these stakes they should be given to them. Also, Makoto said in http://cointelegraph.com/news/114932/nem-right-now-we-have-the-best-designed-blockchain-platform-in-existence ''I am able to leave my job, which I am already in the process of doing. This will give me more time to work on NEM and also to push the development of the NEM ecosystem forward''

He has been handling the socks list, where will he get the money from to live now? This makes me think somehow where the Socks NEM Stake will go. These are just my thoughts and opinions.
