The truth is slightly different: * you sniped it after the main contributor of the open source project with said domain name expressed the desire to get the domain * After asking in the groupchat if someone sniped the domain, you remained silent * you neither did anything with the domain, nor did you contribute to the project As said, it's your LEGAL right to do with it whatever you want. It's also @calle s right to ban you from the group for actively trying to sabotage So what are we talking about? Also, which threats of extortion were made? That's a pretty serious accusation
