Sometimes it is difficult to see thru THE MIST...

Indeed it appears hard to see through the mist (but thanks for sharing my music). See, in my opinion the following has the things precisely backwards:

They should feel grateful to dig thru your superior PR posts. It doesn't matter where their money went. Just to post in the same thread as you is such magic. Bow down.

To construe me as putting myself in a superior position by telling someone to read up on my post history is, I think, wrongheaded.

I would be putting myself in a superior position if I were to continue to support the expectation that the XC team will respond to the community's every question, concern, and worry.

Why? Because doing so supports and enables a dependency upon me to provide information and support.

But I'm not some infallible/impartial/ideal source of information. It is unethical for me to enable activity that would treat me as such - and to do so would wrongly put me in a position of superiority.

So what I'm implying with the way I post lately is that I do not want the community to put me on a pedestal on this way.

(By the way, my reply to Reebokass's post had more to do with him agreeing to stop posting mopey, negative remarks - something he's entirely failed to put a stop to. It wasn't a general reply to the community; it was a reply specifically to him.)

Arlyn I think now it is the time to stop your dialectic foil and start to address a bit what is your role in our community.

In a way I can agree that we relied on you maybe too much with asking for updates etc. The fact is that you are our first and only point of contact between the community and what happens behind the curtains.

As you have been paid for it is your role as well to provide with minimal but precise answers on basic things like XC torstick and ISO for Example.. I would say as well where we are in the development right now also but I leave that apart.

After all the fudstorm that happened if you and the team lock yourself from the community speculation can go rampant and off course we will loose faith in the project if you continue to do so.

Just my two cents.

Investing in XC was the first time for me that I got involved so much in Crypto and because of this I continued to support the project with holding my Investment instead of dumping it. if it was not for this behaviour, shared by people that still post in here you will not have had a project to work for since a long time.
