I fully agree with all you wrote!

Hijacking the SteemFest name without authorization is a shame!

I do not think one could find any valuable excuse for not waiting @roelandp's answer.

Despite the idea looks great, I see all of this as self-promotion and empowering.
In this post, I counted no less than 19 references to Jerry himself (names, associated websites, ...)

@roelandp has organized 2 amazing Steemfest without ever asking something for himself. He never put the spotlight on him, but on the event and its sponsors, helpers, participants, ...

For this, @roelandp always got my full support, as I clearly demonstrated at the closing dinner of SteemFest 2.

With what Jerry just did, I'm not sure I'd ever do the same thing.
