Yes - but I'd rather LiveCode think this through carefully...

A real fix is needed; not just hasty emotional reassurances,
promotions, personal favors, or threats to like it or else.

Those very briefly distract people from a problem,
but long term, it hurts everyone.

Compounding it -

Some people get tempted to throw other users, and new users,
under the bus if they might get a personal exception.

Self-defeating to forget morals! Likewise echo chambers;
problems not fixed come back even worse.

Thanks for speaking up.

You have a great way of wording questions.
Yes - it is bizarre.

But either way, we have successfully raised the topic.
That helps LiveCode re-evaluate extreme plans.

And mostly a good discussion; almost like the old days!

No one has said they want / love a kill switch.
Pretty obvious...

Bright future / new year...
Happy Holy-days of Christ's Mass!

Best wishes,
