Part of the gap in understanding here is that you are insisting on interpreting everything I’ve said in the context your interpretation of the word “threat” rather than the one I have explained repeatedly. This is why you insist on putting words in my mouth, because you are unwilling to accept the ones I’ve actually said.

I can absolutely have both. The dev can make decisions that users don’t agree with. Users can express their willingness to leave or fork in response. And the choice to leave can absolutely be expressed as a threat.

You’re assuming a moral judgement in my statements that is simply not there. This is why I called your response knee jerk. You made an assumption instead of reading what I wrote (and clarified repeatedly).

Take care.
