I honestly can't speak for whatever the reasons are/where between those who have a fond hatred for Sanders as I never have gone back and taken a look. There was a time when I first came on here though that Sanders was people's hero for standing up against everything that was wrong with the platform that ultimately in the end would see it floundering. I'll tell ya he took a beating standing up speaking out on behalf of those who feared saying what needed to be said. In some ironic way it helped forge the merging of powers to bring in line one of the biggest abusers of the platform, maybe even others I didn't notice. What the real problem here though, as I think that Sanders knows it, is that you can't justify bringing down some while letting others slide. True reform comes at the expense of everyone not just a select few. Because of all the masquerading I admit it's extremely difficult to assess the sincerity of just about anyone on this platform, including Sanders, is it just one of many different facades like everyone else I can't say or is this just another play on the platform whereas you have other sybils waiting in the wings to spring forth so you can power down the one's built up for your money and/or to use to invest for profit into whatever the next phase to be is...it's just hard to tell, you can see the masking seeing behind the mask(s) is the difficult discern. I am not going to fathom a guess for Sanders actions as where they may fall in relations to the fledgling performance of the platform and why and where that falls for him per se but I will say I wouldn't blame him at all for leaving if it's in relation to all the hype about forming tribes. Forming tribes is nothing short of those with multiple sybils with some power forming together to try and save themselves from the problems they've created in the first place with their incredible ability to talk to themselves. When you see them saying I am joining your tribe and I am going to bring along my trail what they are ultimately saying is make room for me and my sybil-ings, a self protectionism move meant to save themselves not the platform.
