RE: What Was All This Then?

Ray, you know that I will always be a friend.
The most painful part of this was the thought of losing a good person in my life. Additionally, the first thought that came to my mind was that this was all a test, and if not, then a psychotic manifestation of schizophrenia (which I was mentally hitting myself for not recognizing).
My decision to undelegate was simply due to one thing: I did not believe that, at the time, you had the capacity to maintain leadership. I recall that when I had my own crisis last year, I knew that I was not in a position that allowed me to effectively lead, and I did not want to destroy what had already been built, so I stepped down from my duties as a leader and let the community fly free. I was OK with letting go of a position of power because I knew that it would be better for the community.
Your test was the polar opposite in action. I understand that you wanted to test loyalty, but you did so in such a way that destroyed the community, rather than pulled it together. Naturally, it revealed some negative personality traits, but ultimately, this was a test which was harmful in every possible way. A leader should want to build net positive engagement in the community, rather than put it under this type of stress test with a high likelihood of tearing it apart. It brought emotional harm to good people (not to speak of the financial implications). I hope this makes sense.
It is for this reason - the fact that I do not believe in the implementation of this crucial leadership decision - that I am not going to further engage in any Hive-related activities with you. This is not about the money, and never was. It was about building something beautiful together, and I frankly do not believe that you exhibited the characteristics to do so with your decisions over the past couple of weeks.
While I was distraught by this situation, I will still always be a friend and chat with you. Furthermore, I am still concerned about your mental well-being. Even if done as a "test" or some type of "fun," your actions were sociopathic in nature and frankly every concerning. I hope that you have family and friends physically by your side, and if you do not, please have someone who cares for you, and whom you trust, next to you. I am as serious as can be, Ray.
Always wishing you all the best, brother. May this be the last message I write on Hive, and only for you, Ray.
Fine. I understand this.
An explanation:
I am about to come into serious financial wealth.
I could no longer continue with what I had built with those that were by my side. My discord lacked motivation, it lacked passion, and ultimately it lacked integrity -- we saw this with what happened when I birthed LGN.
I tore the community apart, yes. This is part of death. For the world to move on death is a natural part of the cycle -- for the good to remain and prosper, the impure must die.
The people I picked were few, and should they not wish to join me in my venture then that is totally fine. The rewards that come will attract many nonetheless.
Let me be crystal clear -- I hated every minute of what played out. I did not enjoy it and I did not enjoy watching those I thought that had my back and turn on me on a whim and get my local services involved. This is not friendship, it is malice.
This is why for what I have planned the old must die. I must remove the hateful elements to let the pure stay and enjoy the fruits of my labour, rather than take it for granted which they have done so for many years.
But.
All debts will be repaid, and I'll make everyone square with BRO. That is a promise.
However, LGN will die. Everyone that holds that had their fill from my generosity.
Ok thief
You should try dieting fat man.
