Ironic silence.

Firstly - relevant to the announcement, please see THIS FORUM LINK https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,4002.0.html
Secondly, some food for thought for those of you who've spent the past few days taking to these forums, Reddit and other online outlets bashing the WeMineLTC. You've accused the pool of scamming you, you've accused the owners of scamming you, you've accused members of the pool (I've seen some posts referring directly to me) of being useless, unhelpful, and at worst accused someone of purposely telling people to setup their miners wrong in order to steal coin.
All of this mindless conjecture is based on speculation and naive panic, absolutely none of it has been backed up with any kind of proof - I have taken to these outlets and furiously defended WeMineLTC only to be bashed some more - the common thread to all of this? Read on.
You expect to be "told" what the exact problem is. You, for some reason feel you're somehow entitled to detailed information of what was clearly an attack on not just WeMineLTC but on other, genuine & honest stratum pools. As if it somehow doesn't matter that the admins releasing the details of an attack before they've even figured out how or what is happening won't do anything but encourage more rogue miners to exploit and steal your coin. You all know who you are, and you've all tarnished the integrity and the namesake of WeMineLTC by starting a witch hunt based on wild speculation and lack of knowledge.
I apologise if this has already been posted, and I thank those of who who haven't lowered yourself to the standards raised above - but I am an avid and passionate member of the WeMineLTC community - a pool I believe is one of, if not the best pool going.
