This was written by a friend in response to yet another request for Koombya in the BCH split of 2020.

“No you are not the enemy for wanting peace. But you assume it is something others did not or do not want. Many have worked years trying to keep or create peace and promote progress. Reality is that at some point the only thing left is to accept that peace without truth is not really peace. As long as lies are permitted to stay unchallenged and are even promoted as truth for political gain there will never be any peace. Just an illusion that people not paying attention can feel comfortable with.
The past year I have seen people say : we do not want a split, BCH should stay unified. And at the same time they would say: ABC is bad for BCH, Amaury is the enemy of BCH and should be fired .
And they proceeded to attach all sorts of stories and accusations of malicious intent to things that were said or done by anyone working within ABC or anyone supporting ABC. These accusations were not new, they actually started very shortly after the Amaury and ABC were instrumental in creating BCH. Just the past year opponents saw opportunity to create the right narrative as ABC needing funding and being more open about the issues it had been facing (including dishonesty by Roger Ver) was the desired show of weakness. The opportunity to build sufficient anti ABC and anti Amaury sentiment to create what we have today. Those that pay attention to what has happened and that are aware of the history and past behaviour of different players see things for what they are. And the time to stay quiet about it hoping it will lead to peace has passed.”
