RE: Why I Am Still Hyper-Bullish On STEEM!!!!
I like your take on the problems, that they are essentially growing pains, though I'm a bit worried that the witnesses are all totally mum about it, as if they either don't know about it (unlikely), don't care about it, or something...It's strange.
The witnesses are definitely very aware of it, and some have made posts about it and are actively working to try to help. See @timcliff's posts for example.
It's very important for the top witnesses to stay calm and not overreact to such things though, and I think they're doing a great job of that. It's not their job to police the blockchain, and any changes to how the system works need to be done carefully and thoughtfully so they take time.
I agree 100% @yabapmatt.
This could be the case where something needs to be done with the blockchain but those should not be undertaken lightly. We cannot have witnesses acting emotionally and writing new code each time there is a spat on here.
The downvote system might need altering but let us let the emotions die down.
Personally, I think there is a problem when you have one with enough influence to wipe out someone's earnings on a work that they put time and effort into simply because the person disagrees. Also, I think there is also the risk of censorship.
