Hey, @dave. I share your views too. Some of the top guys on here really didn't care about anyone but themselves and their businesses.
Everyone be acting like STINC owe them anything when in reality we're simply HODLing empty promises on text without some kind of a legal bind to that agreement. I don't see why the witnesses didn't get STINC to somehow put down that agreement on code. When Tron team asked to see it, the witnesses said they needed some time to collect it.
Really? We claim we reached out to have THIS conversation and we're yet to get the facts straight, but it's okay to jump ahead to freeze stake.
We negotiated in bad faith by taking Ned's word for it for 4 years. Today, we're freezing someone's stake. Shows how little we understand contracts on the blockchain. Do we really believe this blockchain code is law thing, or we pop it whenever it's convenient for us?
Steem's been too hostile to new people and people who have a different opinion. Centralization in decentralization.
You see it everywhere you look. They're trying to censor a person's opinion because it doesn't align with theirs. Earlier, they froze STINC's stake, then a witness called the steemit twitter account handler a monkey. Today, it's @lukestokes calling on the community to boycott steemit.com interface. (se his latest post)
You'd ask, what community?
The community they've consistently ignored for years, choosing rather to circle-jerk themselves to the trending page on steem related posts?
The community whose witness votes never counted because the top 20 was essentially centralised by 2 accounts (@freedom and @pumpkin) for years.
It's pathetic how they hide under the cloak of community to bully and demand the community take responsibility for them.
I am low on RC on my main account @pangoli. I am not afraid to say that i do not support what the witnesses did. I will be shifting my witness votes by setting you as a proxy asap.
Again great response!
And this knocks it out of the park!
ps... I'm honored you would set me as a proxy on your votes :)
