@edicted from what I got @haejin is accusing kabir88 of defaming one of his friends through twitter(i think), he basically said haejin's friend did tax evasion, etc... it wasn't the flag, it was the low defaming move that kabir did... and I can kind of understand the lash out if this is in fact true, i would go to hell and back for my friends, i wouldn't care who or what stood in my way, true friendship is worth it!

Since I don't know the ins and outs of the war I won't say which side i am at, i mean it is haejin's stake and he chooses what to do with it, at least he isn't using voting bots anymore... but imo this flagging war is going to be really bad for the blockchain, during a bear market a flagging war between FTG and haejin will only decrease the payouts of the few small content creators that @fulltimegeek was supporting, this plus the bear market mentality will make many doubt this platform and maybe leave... and also the fact that even if it a flagging war, haejin has a huge stack in rachorelo, which FTG can't decrease to 0, so haejin is still going to get payouts out of it...

SO what is this flagging war going to do? Decrease content creators trust and self worth in the steem blockchain, making some of them even quit, while not stopping haejin because he is still getting payouts! so guess what! this flagging war won't bring anything good to the platform!

If you think the opposite do say!

IMO what they should agree on is create a haejin charity account with a % of his SP(maybe25%) that would follow FTG around and curate the content of good content creators, this would bring further proof-of-brain to the platform and actually be good in the long term for haejin because his investment would bring further profit for many more years to come because of the good content on the platform, I don't think the dude is dumb, he is an early STEEM investor which i find extremely smart! and sometimes giving some "money" to charity to shut up people that are badmouthing and attacking you is a good move, many millionaires have done this throughout the ages! Giving some to charity to reply to people that say : "You have to much!" with "Well, i give x amount to charity! Do you give anything to charity?"

I really do think this would be the right move on both sides, because this war isn't helping anyone! Not FTG's side and not haejin's side! They are both making the blockchain less trustfull which further decreases STEEM price and potential !

But do give me your opinion! Maybe I'm wrong, maybe this undending flagging war is actually good for the blockchain!

And BTW @ned isn't going to do anything because that would mean STEEM was centralized! He can just scoop in and censor someone! Do you know he is powering down? I actually have this idea that he is powering down to further decentralize the platform, go watch my latest post if you want since i wrote about it, but basically what i said is that he is powering down to decrease the price of STEEM giving minnows and content creators with already established accounts that see potential in this blockchain a second oportunity of getting in it! Look at it as a second ICO!
