Ok, I used my hour today writing two responses on this thread. None of that effort helped advance any of the proposals towards becoming ZIP ready. So hopefully I’ll have time tomorrow to work on that. As you can see, it’s costly to respond to each criticism. The cost in this case is that my help towards making existing proposals into ZIPs, and my effort to respond to _all_ posts was taken up explaining why it’s a bad idea to respond to all uncharitable claims because “somebody is probably thinking them.” I hope people can extrapolate the true cost here. We have about a month to finalize the ZIP proposals _and_ find a way to gauge community stances for a variety of very different stakeholders. How much time should we spend talking about if ECC is fair when it retweets a given proposal during that month? For me personally, I am going to spend 0 minutes henceforth on such discussions and instead focus on the discussions that are moving the community decision process forward effectively. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zip-proposal-8-15-opt-in-or-4-7-5-mandatory-dev-free-75-zcash-foundation-25-ecc/33883)._
