Those are hyperbolic exaggerations.
Absolutely not. Do you really not remember what the Tron foundation announced to the world on the 14th of February?

The only relevant point is he did not initiate a power down or signal intent to affect STEEM governance.
How would initiating power down signal interesting in taking part in governance? How would that have been a demonstration of aggressive intent? Yes, he said that he wasn't going to get involved in Steem governance but that was just BS. How would you be able to dismantle the chain except by taking control of it and implementing whatever hard fork you see fit?
In fact he has stated the opposite, that he has no desire to be involved in the politics of governance on STEEM.
The context of that was after having being met with fierce resistance in the middle of a battle over governance on Steem.
Justin Sun thought he had bought the commmunity when he acquired Steemit, Inc and that it was his to move over to Tron. Turns out this acquisition was different from any of his prior acquisitions. You can't buy people.
You are making too many assumptions about what his statements mean. An airdrop doesn't necessarily mean destruction of the original coin, and having the networks work together is a good idea especially considering the focus on SMT networks and communities.

See for yourself:
He was talking about migrating all apps and users to Tron and swapping STEEM for a TRC10 token (on a centralized network he was the dictator of).

This is an author's interpretation not the original company statements, and the author is making a common mistake of mixing up Steem and Steemit, but if you look at Ned's statement quoted in the article it clearly says "Steemit," and owner's of Steemit and other dapps have a right to migrate those specific platforms to network of their choice.

It seems to me that you made a mistake....
what you must have meant is: You can't buy all the people.
From those who are arguing in his favour, as if they were eager to be placed under controls by the chinese govt, as happens to all chinese platforms, since free speech is not allowed, it seems we have many left leaning whales who think in favour of communist rules, but do not care about the small fish.
I am glad to have read the points you made, even if I have come in a bit late in my support.
By the way, the soft fork was not created to fight justin, it was done to prevent him from having sole say over our future as a community. The witnesses who did it still have my support (even those I do not like)

Exactly.
I don't think their numbers are that great but they do exist. Some may have been tempted by the money. The Chinese government seems to be much more interested in blockchain technology than Western governments. I wonder why that is. Do they take it somewhat seriously as a threat to their rule? Are they thinking about ways to co-opt it to serve their needs and in doing so pervert its purpose?
Thank you.
