RE: Perhaps anarchy already exists and "THE COMMUNITY" is merely the highest manifestation of organized crime.
The entire argument was about the "ninjamine". ALL "ninjamined" stake should be targeted indiscriminately.
I agree. IMHP it is those ninja miners stake that has prevented the Block chain from achieving mass adoption.
"preemptive-strike"
What took place was a misguided preemptive strike, for the purpose of gaining complete control of the new Chain.
What is going on now here, is a little different. We have large stake holders who have clearly stated their hostility toward J Sun and the platform as a whole. They a acting against the best interests of the Chains survival.
Under these circumstances I would feel justified in taking the appropriate action of defending myself.
If someone is intent on murdering you and you do not have ability to prevent that from occurring, you had better take care of them first if you want to survive.
I would not freeze their accounts I would fork them out into their little chain and call their new Stake shit coin or something like that, and leave them with nothing of value which was their intention toward Sun and going by their actions, still is.
I dont see the facebook thing as being a close enough comparison
If want to shoot me down in flames its ok : )
The key point of the video is that (EITHER) the platform is NEUTRAL (and therefore NOT responsible for "bad content") (OR) the platform acts like an EDITOR (and is therefore LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE for "bad content").
In other words, if a cabal of vigilantes CAN remove "bad content", then they are LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE for any "bad content" they miss.
(IFF) the platform is truly NEUTRAL (THEN) only the individual account that posts "bad content" is legally responsible for that "bad content" and the platform itself and all other accounts on that platform are NOT responsible (immune to legal action).
By stooping to their level?
Isn't that just "lowest common denominator ethics"?
What moral theory are you operating on?
Are you "pro-authoritarian" (OR) "anti-authoritarian"?

Are you saying that you believe that self defense is immoral?
I learned through bitter experience, that when we provide the opportunity for the Psychopathic to do harm, they will take advantage of it.
If we look to the willingness for prolific dishonesty by some of these guys we need to evaluate what is the best course of action for the Blockchain.
As a random example, mark y mark took a screenshot from steemworld and altered it to show that haijin (a bernie sanders account) was recieving 2% of the reward pool. The reality, it recieving 0.2% as shown on steemworld. This was published on bernies account.
When called out by public about this fraud, the original bernie post was edited to show that hiejin was receiving 12% with a new screenshot of a different tool. The creator of that tool had published an apology post stating that he had the math wrong.
The haijin ranchorelaxo thing was about normalizing flags. I know of person who was going along with it, then twigged to what was really going on and her account was destroyed, she opened a new one, destroyed and i dare say she was not the only one.
We can not trust people who keep telling us lies to manipulate us.
let me know your thoughts they are deeply appreciated.
This is pure genius. YOU WOULD IMAGINE THAT PEOPLE WOULD JUST LOOK AT STEEMWORLD THEMSELVES!!!!
This is why all "suppression", "censorship", "blacklisting" and "rep assassination" should be DISABLED.
If someone posts "truly bad (illegal) content" IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES TO CHARGE THE INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBLE.
If you have a video game that people are easily beating (pool reaping), THEN FIX YOUR GAME.
Allowing players to steal from each other (and pretending that's some sort of "fix") is INSANE.
(IFF) you can't prevent murder (by increasing the number of consensus witnesses to 200 or more) (THEN) murder must be treated as a perfectly legal activity (and fear of murder must be considered "just cause").
