The problem with becoming an interwebs celebrity is that once the cat is out of the bag these "acts of a few" may become a daily routine. It's easy for us to tell h2o to suck it up and go on, but not everybody wants to live with that, nor should they. Just keep in mind that h2o did not run away with 300BTC or whatever the daily balance used to be in January. He keeps the pool running, perhaps underperforming, but not the worst out there. It's not on autopilot as some here have claimed. A project like that would be dead in a week without maintenance. He just chose to not communicate with a "community" that has shown itself to be a bunch of hypocrites and bullies.
