Did we all not place our trust in David and CfB when we participated in the crowdsale? I don't understand why some of us (luckily very few) are suddenly wary of David's judgement? Can we not simply trust him once again?
If you are a church member "simply trust him" is OK.
If you are an investor you better do you own DD. And then "toxic character" of a founder is not a plus point.
99% of ICO investors were following CfB, David and Dominik were never the draw cards, they could both be replaced tomorrow and easily replaced with seasoned tech entrepreneurs, whereas replacing CfB would be impossible. Who cares about personalities anyway, if David is as toxic as you suggest he won't last long in a foundation where bullies will get ejected, even founders. IOTA is bigger than any individual now, except maybe CfB until the COO is safely removed.
