Precisely. I am afraid though, that people will just go on writing
"please stay <3" letters to CenturionDan, (who is the one responsible
for Katolaz to leave, for the CI for being down, for this drama here)
without even thinking how other volunteers feel like. Because this is
how politics work: personalisations, egos and populism.
