Except you've almost exclusively sown distrust and treated this community like we're incompetent. It's beyond disturbing that you believe it's appropriate to gaslight the entire startup community during your product announcement. That's not kind, nor trustworthy, and your "facts" have been entirely wrong.

> My goal is not to get acquired in order to "wash my hands"...

Also, extremely interesting choice of words here. You didn't say you're not aiming to get acquired, you just said that when you do get acquired it won't be for the reasons we all think, which is just more gaslighting and doesn't actually address any of the concerns.
