Scott, I've written about my concerns regarding the way Medium manages, treats and communicates with its genuine writers on a number of occasions in the past.

You have the opportunity to be better than this.

We're getting tired of the way we're being treated - Like we're idiots. We're not. There are many extremely intelligent and talented writers on your platform.

We deserve to be treated with respect and honesty.

Medium's reputation has taken another significant hit through this latest debacle and you're in danger of alienating and punishing your genuine writers to the point where they simply walk away.

For anyone whose writing matters to them, it's crushing.
