RE: Steem's Transparency Is A Two Way Street - Damned If You Do And Damned If You Don't
A bit of a double standard here as you're offering a vitriol of your own, though attempted to be sweetened with a pro-leadership stance.
What you are seeing is people trying to hold a leader to account for their promises, past and current behavior. Sure some of that is incoherent, some of it down right rude and some very personal, but dismissing it as you've done here is to miss the point entirely.
It is as it should be. When promises are broken and CEOs make statements which shake confidence, it's appropriate to say "what the hell man".
If course the next step is to recalibrate and absorb the new info into better action but cheerleaders such as yourself see to that well enough. That's only a slight dig 😆 you're far more palatable than many.
Interesting you should perceive my words this way. It certainly wasn't intended to stoke the flames of the current critisizims, but to quell it and remind people of our successes. If my words fell on your ears in a bitter or cruel way, please accept my apologies.
People, including CEO's, make promises all the time that due to changing situations cannot be kept. No reason to flail the man for trying his best. One step backwards is common and as lonng as it's followed by 2 steps forward then we are still making progress.
As far as being pro-leadership I plead guilty.
The vitriol in your post is best seen in two places:
and
This kind of distain for the common person and how they react comes off as high and mighty, and is vitriolic in it's own way. Inflammatory verbs as exhibited here are never good, they appeal to the emotions over the intellect.
I've thought about what you've said in the post a little more and considered your response, and I've realized that the kind of relationship you assume is one of friendship with the CEO. This kind of relationship does not exist, the fact is that Ned the CEO of company and the majority are plain users, not contributing to development, community building or anything like that. There should be an amicable relationship between CEO and users, but it's a bit much to expect what you do.
As such the responsibilities of CEO, and indeed any leadership role, should be taken seriously and eating some humble pie when you do not deliver is par for the course.
I should say that I do agree with keeping a level of civility and I will generally call for it but some off hand responses to a very shocking statement, made with no real information even though it calls itself transparency, is to be expected and not entirely unreasonable.
It's what we do next that should count, it's another day.
