"accept Dan's choice and reasons at face value"

Well I am commenting under a post titled 'reading between the lines...?'.

"the most remarkable and unique pieces of tech that has ever graced this planet, enabling free, uncersorable publishing for anyone with an internet connection."

That quote is hyperbolic to say the least. I'm not trying to slam the guy, I'm just saying he isn't perfect and his vision had issues and continues to have them. His departure at this point seems premature.
