Let's say I own an ice cream shop that makes ice cream cones the fastest and the best. Do you expect me to give you your own ice cream shop? If you do, that's called entitlement.

If the society of which you are a part of has a structure built on community outreach, support and the spread of open source(free ice cream) software, then yes, I would not entirely consider this "entitlement". It is breaking the underlined meaning of cryptocoins and if that is what you rally for over all, then I suppose you are a detriment to the community.

He also has a long track record of transparency, and has put countless hours of work into other open source projects that I am certain some of you have taken advantage of.

This does not outweigh the harm this is causing and furthermore he is taking something that was built for the open source community and putting shackles on its growth, deterring miners and bringing a bad name to a coin and everything the devs here have put into it. Its caustic to his name and in my mind will be the one who chose profit over community; a true socialist.

With all that said, I have nothing invested in this coin, but have a lot vested in the community. I have a whopping 10 sent to me from a logo competition and am set to lose nothing. I say all of this not as an investor or miner, but as someone who sees support being brought to this by others. I understand your reason of why he "should" be in the right in doing this, but this does not really transcend into this medium.
