I disagree with no malice. Mainly because of the events leading up to this and the fact that aTriz calls out others for similar shady behaviors.

Let me first say this situation is/was a tough one for me, probably the toughest I've faced on this forum. I had enough confidence in ALU to join the signature campaign several months ago (which I ended shortly after the alia debacle - personally, I just was not comfortable with aTriz's involvement there). This was the first paid signature I've ever wore (not including the NastyFans you get nothing signature, which interestingly enough, I later found out only got me put on public ignore lists, till this very day! ). I realize others may not see their signature as them 'supporting' something but I'm not someone that would wear a signature of a project I don't support.

When I contacted aTriz about the signature campaign he was posting about, I specifically told aTriz that I did not want to be part of anything shady and only wanted to be involved in advertising for a project that was legitimate. He assured me it was legitimate and pointed out what it was - ALU. I researched ALU a bit and, believe it or not, had some comfort seeing Lauda as part of it, and honestly liked the idea of it, thinking it might be a way to make ICOs less of a cesspool and a little more honest. I believed this because aTriz & Lauda were part of it (whom had both expressed disgust towards other ICOs doing bumping and other shady activities and have called out quite a few people and ICOs), so I don't think my belief was that far fetched, as I would have expected either one of these two people to have called "SCAM" as soon as someone was saying they raised 3 million dollars and they had really only raised ~10,000.

Some examples for aTriz calling out scammers for shady behavior:
https://archive.is/VLSzo (this specifically related to an ICO falsifying invested funds - aTriz is well aware this is scam behavior.)
https://archive.is/JhHUa (calling out bumping)
http://archive.is/sFeNG#selection-24257.0-24257.362 (calling out exchanges for manipulating numbers)
Lauda needs no examples because Lauda constantly tags people for shady behavior like this.

When I see aTriz making comments like this about other ICOs but then ignoring his own clients misbehavior as a "marketing strategy", I feel like there is malice here, and why I responded the way I did on this thread.

The whole situation aggravates me and is just frustrating.
