To comment on the substance of your post (beyond asking for dates), if I said:
I wonder what the blockchain would be like without @spectrumecons, if we were to do this, what accounts does @spectrumecons control?
Is that a threat to you, enough for you to powerdown and make a stink about it?
No one was pushing for anything, ideas were being explored and no one expressed support for the actual implementation of this.
That feels like that could be a threat. I would seek further clarification before powering down.
That'd be the smartest move, I'd applaud you for wanting to learn more. Unfortunately that didn't happen in this situation :(
