You certainly don't need me to chime in and validate what you're saying, @lucylin, but I do appreciate hearing more people say, that despite anything Ned had purportedly or actually done or not done, robbing him is wrong. The discussion needs to start there before it can possibly go anywhere else, and it has to be without conditions or demands. A little bit of polite asking wouldn't hurt, as some are doing. We don't want to get into full blown begging, though. :)

What I'm failing to understand is, don't we want Steemit Inc powering down their stake in some way? Now people are concerned about it coming back in all kinds of accounts, but that seems a little bothersome, and if Ned intended to vote up witnesses, he could have done it way before now. So, I don't know. There's more to the tale than's been divulged for any side, and frankly, I'm having a hard time trusting anyone in the thick of it. Objectivity, if it ever existed here, has flown the roost.
