RE: The Value Is Always with the Community
I don't think the witnesses (myself included) have anything to apologize for. We acted quickly to try and protect the chain from the very fate it's under right now. The community token holders supported our actions and voted out witnesses who didn't. It was temporary, reversible, and preemptive. To say otherwise would not be accurate.
Yes, it was done quickly and "behind the scenes" as you say, though it did include many large stake holders, application developers, and witnesses who all believed immediate action was required.
I understand that we view the situation differently. "Temporary", "reversible", and "preemptive" are what the "performers" think, and I believe that who got affected or who did not participate may view it very differently.
As I clearly understand your logic, I do not think we need further discussion regarding this.
I appreciate your time and effort again.
Thanks. I wish I understood your logic clearly also. I seem to be missing something.
Thanks for trying to explain it to me though.
I think the fundamental difference is in past experience - while I started steemit 2 yrs ago(which is not a short time), I haven't had participated in the governance system so my view is basically what an outsider would think.
On the other hand, 22.2 witnesses and supporters tend to be the active members who participated in the steem governance, so insiders' view and maybe also emotionally attached.
That being said, at the same time I still do not understand/agree with some of what Justin does/says. I guess again, maybe due to the fundamental difference in past experience.
