Hi Justin, we are witness @blockbrothers. We stand for the sanctity of private property.
We were one of the few witnesses that were heavily against the Soft Fork and never applied it! We made a statement about it here.
It reads as follows:
Any Hard (or Soft fork) that proposes to fork out any account or limit the actions of an account on the Steem blockchain we will oppose now and in the future and anyone on the Steem blockchain should be able to do with their stake whatever they want.
We have been a community and developer witness for over 2,5 years and are looking to serve the community for many more.
We are the creators of Steemify here. It's the best notification application for Steem for iOS. We are currently working on an Android version. With your help we are hoping to have it translated to many different languages so more people can enjoy our app.
To answer your questions:
1. Are you willing to believe the sanctity of private property or do you just want to take innocent people’s hard earned money under toxic “consensus”?
Yes. As shown by our statement, we believe in the sanctity of private property.
2. Are you willing to shorten the SP power-down period to 3-7 days from the current period?
7 days is the shortest we would recommend because of how the voting mechanism of the blockchain works. Any shorter opens up exploits for voting abuse.
3. Are you willing to remove the down-voting policy of STEEM blockchain?
Yes
4. Are you willing to introduce smart contracts into the STEEM block chain?
Yes
5. Are you willing to keep a good relationship with prestigious exchanges and increase our STEEM token value or do you just want to fuck them?
Yes, we would like to see STEEM on many more exchanges and keep good relationships with them.
6. Are you willing to protect the rights of the community members or do you just want to hurt and destroy those you disagree with?
We will protect the rights of the community members.
7. Are you willing to support Steemit, Inc. in accomplishing their job to increase our token value or do you just want to stab them in the back for your own interest?
Yes, we would like to see the token value of STEEM go up.
8. Are you willing to increase STEEM token value that benefits the whole community or do you only care about your own interest and don’t give a fuck about the real community?
Yes, we believe an increase in the STEEM token benefits the whole community.
9. Are you willing to welcome new investors in the future and include everyone into our community or do you just want to fuck those new investors, freeze their investment and kick them out?
Yes, more investors are welcome!
10. Are you willing to always stick to the truth or will you just spread rumors to generate misunderstandings in the community and poison our community culture?
@blockbrothers have always said what they think. We stick with the truth.
11.Do you like Justin Sun or you just want to fuck him?
We like you and hope that you as an investor will help make Steem become bigger and better.
We also hope that the community, investors and developers can soon move past the events of recent days and can start building again to make Steem the best blockchain it can be.
Considering 22.5 only ensures Steemit Inc. funds are safeguarded from being frozen, we can upgrade our server if need be. Although, just to let you know, under 22.1 this is also the case.

Thank you for considering us.
Not surprised considering how @exyle is notorious for voting for low effort / quality circlejerkers.
This really sends home the message of your alignment w spammers, scammers, plagiarists and other forms of token manipulators.
If you dislike negative curation, why not just go to WhaleShares? Oh, I forgot... Because that token doesn't have meaningful value to be exploited...
Whereas Steem does and much of that can be attributed to negative curation / moderation activities (such as our group at @steemflagrewards) that would be impossible without the downvote feature.
Indeed, it is a feature which you readily express intent to discard perhaps because you disagree w some instances of it's use.
Every heard the expression "Don't throw the baby out w the bathwater". That's precisely what you are advocating but you fail to present a reasonable rationale so the comment imo is less than worthless and thus downvoted.
However, it is important we let others know of this intention. We should all write posts exposing this. Thanks for letting us know at least.

Thank you for reporting this abuse, @anthonyadavisii.
This post is a scam, designed to trick or defraud others.
You are repetitively posting the same content or recyling contents after a period of time.

But you also believe consensus is toxic.
You truly are a paid shill. You were a paid shill when you secured "exclusive" access to STINC employees like @andrarchy.
The Frenchman that surrenders in the face of Nazi invasion. I was right all along.
Removing downvotes completely destroy our ability to defend the chain against plagiarism..
I'm the village idiot and I still know that removing downvotes is a TERRIBLE IDEA.
Hate to say it, but it looks like you're entirely drinking the kool-aid to try and get in a top witness spot.
Is breaking the chain worth running a server for what is basically minimum wage?
dafak.
Yes. And against spam, scam and against other malicious content.
When @justinsunsteemit says jump, @blockbrothers say
To be clear: I downvoted this only due to your statement about downvote removal. I didn't even need to read the rest. I had my doubts for a minute, because this is a clear statement of intentions, but for all's sake, downvotes are the only defense that the community has. It is not a tool of censorship. Even with a shitload of downvotes, anyone can still post anything and it still can be read. So, have a one from me for wanting to remove the only tool of any defense against crap content and farming.
I also downvoted their comment, because they agree with the idea of the downvote removal, although I have read the complete comment.
I'm sorry I ever supported your centralized, boot-licking, sniveling self.
Building up years of integrity on the chain just to throw it away like that?
Exactly!
Wow. 😧 Not a fan of the Soft Fork 22.2 decision myself, I actually wrote about your stance on the courage of your convictions, in my own post on this "war" @blockbrothers.
But ...
This is a step too far. Now I will have to go edit my post. How sad.
One of my first Witness votes, in June 2018, now removed. What a mess ... 😞
I have similar feelings, respected his stance on 22.2 (even though I had a different opinion). However his stance on 22.5 is unbecoming of someone I respect.
"Unbecoming" ... Agreed @abitcoinskeptic. +18 MVests now voted in support of @someguy123.
It was actually a tough decision for me to proxy to someguy123, I really like choosing my own witnesses and hope to resume soon. Since the whales are deciding the balance, I'd rather just see witness voting as a issue of black and white right now. Someguy123 has quick servers and is on top of the game.
Generally, there is a lot of grey areas in most witness activity and governance. We need to reach a compromise. However I will not compromise on removing my choice for downvotes.
If you don't want downvotes, there is already a feature that enables it, set 'decline post rewards'. It will make all votes completely irrelevant.
Interesting to know @abitcoinskeptic ...
... as I have retained my independence on voting for Witnesses. Voting is too important an issue for me ...
I may change my mind later, but for now, as I have always been "my own man," I'll stick with it.
You should massage his feet while you are at it.
Congratulations you fucking sell-out. Glad I never voted your Shitness.
I've got your new plaque here:
CBO, Steemit. Inc.
(Chief Bootlicking Officer)
