Piotr, please stop interfering with a very serious investigation. This is one of the most serious matters we had to deal with in years. What you see in Discords on this topic and what actually happened

I'm not talking about JF. I'm talking about honesty and original content on Hive. This is a general statement and has nothing to do with JF. The ask to credit sources existed years before JF.

Acceptable so far. Busy.
