I think its all about perception, yes Ned has made some pretty grave communication errors and people are going to be upset considering the current mood on the site but I can tell you if steem was at $2-3 no one would be saying anything they would be fine with their earnings

and would be happy for Ned to offload A to fund steemit inc with fiat for the year and B we would get a chance to pick up cheapter steem which would be a premium if the price was high

While I do think a lot of people have good intentions and we all want the same thing there is by far not a real sense of altruism from many of the comments

Steemit inc is under his guidence and its up to him to take it forward. If he fails hopefully it wont bring down the blockchain and the community steps up but yeah passions are running high but I think its important to understand both sides
