I'm not comfortable with a policy which rejects the usual definition of "abstain"

Your voice never falls on deaf ears. I work within the bounds of nastyfans policy.
I wish you success with future Bitcoin adventures. Maybe some day you decide to join nastyfans again. We have exciting services in the pipeline.
