Has there been any reply from @chrisaljoudi?

Also, is there any reason this couldn't have moved to a github group (for the 'The uBlock Development Team') instead of someone else's personal account or something?

When @gorhill pointed out that @chrisaljoudi was removing precious features from his version, he just replied with a "Philosophy" link telling everyone that, now that he has acquired control over it, this project isn't a democracy and he's going to do whatever pleases him with the brand that all of us helped to build: https://github.com/chrisaljoudi/uBlock/issues/1306#issuecomm...

That's really rather disappointing. I missed out on all of this but I seem to have uBlock Origin as a result of installing it back when gorhill ran it, and I've been quite happy with it.

Though, to be fair, he did just add an 'investigating' label to the issue 8 hours ago after pointing to the philosophy w/o democracy.

A recent tweet from @ChrisAljoudi:

>"Better since it doesn't ask for donations."

>Honey, go screw yourself.

Asking for donations in the name of an open source project you didn't create, for yourself is the part that seems wrong.

This guy seems full of it.
