I don't really think it was about dishonesty. It was mentioned in the developers slack when it happened by steemit inc but no one ( including me) really picked up on it at the time. 3 weeks later I see an impact. going softly in here tends not to work, so I did this post. had I of dropped a little comment into slack, I dont think people would have paid as much attention.
