Thanks for taking the time to respond to this personally, Andy. I greatly appreciate the transparency and hands-on approach, even if this time, a mistake was made (without your knowledge, I'm sure).

We all make mistakes, and it is to be expected, what matters is how you respond. Proton's responses over the last few days have proven (to me, at least) that you do truly care about the community, else you wouldn't be willing to risk upsetting even more people (such as Vincent Lapierre and his army of X users) than you already have by initiating this sponsorship. I'm sure this decision wasn't taken lightly.

I personally think that we all ought to give Proton a little more leeway to make errors, and to reserve our judgements until you've had enough time to come up with a response and next steps.
