Well... not all... but if you can't trust a colleague, who can you trust? Right?

Mistake one: trusting colleagues.

Mistake two: thinking that you should trust people.

Once you get past those two, everything else is easy.

(Seriously, they blow the only serious discovery front end that supports an actual use case for the [text-based] blockchain sky high due to broken internal policies, haven't brought it back online despite sane people having backups, and decided that what they really needed to do was to run a contest to create an anthropomorphic icon rather than to hold off on that until they had a place to put it and invest that time, money, and energy into the actual business of what they purport to do. "Trust" is definitely an issue that they struggle with.)

@lextenebris stop building cases and assumptions without a solid understanding or knowledge of the facts. It just doesn't make sense. On a personal point of view, living without trusting anyone, is sad, to say the least. I wouldn't advise that to anyone.

Well, I'm sorry to disagree here, but @lextenebris can have his say on Steemit as anybody can. And regarding knowledge of facts or a solid understanding: he's probably reacting to the explanatory articles posted by @utopian-io. So if you feel he's uninformed, then inform him better.

@scipio I am very well aware of what happened and I am sorry for that, but I think your reaction against mcfarhat is a bit harsh. I don't think he wanted to harm you personally, but that's just my point of view. Said that, i am just referring to sentences about "trust" and our issues with "trust". Clearly saying anything like this without a direct involvement on the recent facts looks audacious to me. You are very well aware of what happened and how and yes we could have problems with "trust" now but I don't think advising to never trust anyone in life is a solution.

The multiple layers of communication and topics in this thread is staggering. I'm sure most people will have a hard time to follow.

Are you well aware of what happened? Then that's kind of a double moral for a CEO, if I may say so. Your CM leaked personal info. Yet you condemn the person who's info was leaked. Something that made you take actions against innocent others two days before in a situation that affected you, and your brand name.

And regarding "trusting nobody", and your public comment you just sent to @lextenebris. I have a DM from you in which you state "something different" again. But I'm not like your CM, I won't leak it. Don't worry.

I am aware you were asked to step back from moderation because you were fully inactive since some time. I don t know of any leaked message nor I care about such speculations. If you think your messages were leaked, for sure this post wasn't the most effective way to condemn the action. If you believe such thing happened provide evidence at [email protected] and we will react accordingly.
