No, is not. Only people lack of understanding.
Javier understood this aspect, but couldn't go further. Not because of lack of understanding (he seems to be a knowledgeable user) but about limitations that he cannot control:

  • bad internet connection
  • lack of better capital / liquidity
  • better resources / hardware

Once he understood these limitations, pulling the plug of that node was the best option.
It was the best option because:

  • running a bad public node it affects ALL network participants
  • it could cause him more loses if will continue like that

RUNNING A PUBLIC ROUTING NODE IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS THAT VERY FEW UNDERSTAND IT NOWADAYS.

I am very technical. I was a dev, and can maintain a linux server no problem whatsoever.
My main problem was that I had to use a crappy connection in a crappy situation and didn't want to put much resources into it. Plus I don't need it, I really don't have the economic incentive, only some personal/political incentives that are not useful anymore, because the network is already perfectly stablished.

And yes, running a bad node is bad for everyone, specially for those you are connected to.
