If you have followed the chain of events of the past 48 hours regarding the Harmony Coin IPO and the reactions of Digital Commerce's developer BobSurplus, you already know what happened.

In case you missed the drama, here is a very brief summary: BobSurplus took offense to Harmony's ANN thread bearing close resemblance to Digital Commerce's ANN thread and decided to attack Harmony's team because of this. BobSurplus stepped up his attacks during the day and let them reach a level which was far beyond anything reasonable and ended up threatening to dump the coin. When the Digital Commerce project leader KreativeKrypto attempted to communicate to BobSurplus that this type of behavior is not acceptable on a professional project, the situation on our internal communcation channel escalated and quickly turned into personal insults. Eventually BobSurplus resumed his public attacks on Harmony's ANN thread and then even expanded them to include personal insults aimed at KreativeKrypto.

Given this chain of events and BobSurplus' unsanctioned and unprofessional behavior paired with his refusal to stop harassing and insulting the Harmony team and our team members, we have no choice but to announce, effective immediately, that BobSurplus is no longer part of the Digital Commerce team.

Digital Commerce was founded by dedicated and hardworking developers who had the goal to display immaculate professionalism and deliver results. We still plan on delivering results but understand that our professional image has been tarnished by the actions of one irresponsible team member and that it will take time to regain our investors' and community's trust and make our coin's value grow.

Lastly, we wish to apologize to the Harmony team for the conduct displayed by BobSurplus. His behavior was never sanctioned or encouraged by Digital Commerce's other team members and all our efforts to reason with him failed. We are saddened that both coins were damaged by this affair and that we were unable to resolve the situation any faster. We wish the Harmony team best of luck with the development of their coin and hope that both teams can leave this incident behind them and focus on building the value of their coins and regain investor confidence.

Thank you for stopping by. I think we are done with all this now, and can move past it. I'm sure Bob will be back in here tonight to troll, but it's much impossible for anything he says to have bearing after all this, so no worries.
