RE: Hardfork complete but not as planned.
Shouldn't you have known the details before you voted on the HF? For someone who previously stated, they would "...never support any fork to freeze funds..." of anybody, one would think that you would take such a matter very seriously.
At that time I didn't know yet that they would really consider to destroy this blockchain. Without a functioning Steem blockchain there is no steemchiller, so he needed to act accordingly.
Hey @steemshiller, it seems you don't know what "never" means.
I guess it's just that principles don't mean anything when you get a stinc vote and the all witness money.
I can just say I am very, very deeply disappointed by your actions.
So you're saying, knowing what you know now, that freezing funds is OK when necessary to protect the blockchain? I find such a sentiment to be rather familiar. Perhaps because that's what the initial group expressed when they implemented SF 22.2. While I didn't agree with their actions at the time, I did understand why they did it. They feared that Sun would come in and take over the blockchain. It turns out those fears were well founded as that is what has happened and what continues to happen to this day. You yourself have been both victim to and beneficiary of this.
All that being said, there was never a need to steal funds, ever. If you really wanted the threat gone, you could have just given them their stake liquid, although even that would have been unfair for everybody else. Then again, fairness didn't seem to play much of a role in the decision making process for you guys. You can't call it a community account unless you give the community equal access to the account.
The truth is, those accounts didn't pose much of a threat to Steem going forward, especially with a 4-week power down. This was about retribution...retribution for actions that happened another chain. It's like if someone did something wrong on Tron (or youtube) and you punished them on Steem. It was childish and vindictive.
The bottom line is that you helped to steal funds when you said you wouldn't. It's disappointing to me, and I'm sure on some level to you too.
