I was suggesting that there was probably more going on that wasn't divulged in the piece, but the phrasing of "i shut this down because I didn't believe it in" does come across as somewhat selfish. There were/are other people involved - perhaps they were consulted, but the post doesn't mention that they were consulted. Letting the rest of the team go on with someone else at the helm, perhaps with the funders selecting someone new to run things, would have been an option any more. But "I don't believe in this anymore" = shutting down something which some other people may have put their lives in - comes across as selfish.

Again... there's probably more going on that wasn't posted - I was reacting to what was posted, and trying to suggest there may be better ways to phrase what was said.
