The lack of any input from Rancho seems to be the missing cog and the greatest bone of contention. With their vote seemingly cast by an auto voting tool running in absence, I wonder if Haejin could consider the concept of spinning up an alt account, delegating their current stake and starting semi-afresh. This removes the rancho upvote and allows a clean slate.

A resteem of an announce post would pull across your active and engaged user base.
