There's a huge difference between saying you're going to be a leader and, y'know, actually being a leader. And there's an even huger difference between that and being an effective leader. I follow Cloudflare and eastdakota a lot. He clearly has the capability to be an effective leader (he is a CEO after all), and I personally admire him. However, in this particular situation, publicly berating the people that he is supposedly taking a "leadership role" over does not a good leader make.
