RE: And..... back to Vietmeme! #steemhostiletakeover
The palnet motto is do no harm, but take no shit. Helping Justin figure out a pathway out so that the steem blockchain, my home, isn't bulldozed by him is good. Fighting him tooth and nail no matter what and really entrenching him in his position is bad. If he's continuing to double and triple down then making his life difficult is the right path, but there needs to be a way for him to say "ok ok, I quit!"
To me it's a bit like playing the game mercy where you're extending as much pressure as they can take to get them to say "Mercy." At that point you don't continue to break their wrist. You let up. You don't let up until they say Mercy. I let up for a day because to me it looks like he lost both his allies. The rest of this is just a slow motion train wreck for Tron and the colluding exchanges.
Talking to him and guiding him to backing down is part of doing no harm. Setting up a vietmeme is part of taking no shit.
I understand how it can look confusing to people who don't hold that attitude, or potentially want something different than saving Steem. I can see how it looks like playing both sides. I'm trying to stay a moderate with Justin so he can quit, while also rousing a defense to my home so he's encouraged to quit. Both of those are geared towards saving steem.
I actually don’t hold an attitude where I’m not not willing to work towards a solution, but I do hold an attitude where I won’t work to undermine a whole community to get what I want or be seen as the hero. I understand how that can be confusing to those who don’t hold that same position.
Many are working to save the Steem community, only a few are so desperate that they will actual make back door deals to ensure they “win” somehow.
How exactly was he undermining "the whole community"?
While we are on the subject of backdoor deals and undermining the community, that sounds awfully similar to a select group of witnesses all colluding in order to launch a soft fork, a soft fork that started all of this garbage.
Get a trustless agreement set up for Justin Sun where there is a trustless guarantee that his stake will not be frozen and the witness stalemate ends.
Why are you trolling me exactly? If you don’t know the situation and how it affected the community, why are you arguing with me about it?
And you mean community selected witnesses who made a decision based on the information they had? Those witnesses who have been elected by stake holders to do just that? Yeah see.. you seem to be missing the basics of how things work here.
His stake isn’t frozen, and there is no reason for the witnesses to guarantee anything. They can choose to run whatever code they feel is best for the chain and the community can show support or distaste for it with their votes, that’s how this system works.
I had the same thougth about the softfork (in which started this whole mess).
Says someone with 60 STEEM stake! LOL.
The size of one's stake doesn't make their point any less correct.
In a DPOS blockchain it does! Especially it shows, that you have no skin in the game. Not to mention you have 5 follower, spam posts (about random countries) and no following.
A point is either correct or incorrect irregardless of the stake. The ability to influence on a DPOS blockchain is directly related to one's stake, perhaps that is what you are getting confused with.
I have 160 SP and I voted up the comment of the 60 SP guy. A guy with 1,600 SP agrees with him. How much Steem Power did Justin Sun control before the soft fork?
I totally understand why Sun would feel his stake was under attack. Now, it is not known what would have happened had the soft-fork not happened. Would he have voted in sock-puppets with his own stake?
Thanks. The argument about SP and point's was a ridiculous one. We will never know what Justin would have done. I have a hunch he would not have taken over the chain, but he could have.
Below are some helpful writing tips for future correspondence and business dealings. I can understand if you don't use them, because you might potentially want to remain a hypocrite.

Fuck, that sentence is so cringy and manipulative.
There are members of the community who see value, even now, in discussing an out without a chain split. Really though, the chances seem so very slim, even from the ‘outside’, where so many of us feel we are.
I don't think yous are going to win a legal battle with Justin Sun. Yous forked his millions in investment first ...... sure there's likely some consequences that can be held to Justin Sun and/or the exchanges but that doesn't absolved yous of messing with millions of dollars worth of STEEM he purchased with his own funds.
I see allot of finger pointing going on but not much acceptance from the witnesses that they should have never forked Justin Sun stake. There's more people to blame here other then Justin Sun. ... Some accountabilty needs to be taken in by everyone on all sides of this mess.
There's too much against yous in regards to the mined stake.
(1) Yous left it in play for years without forking
(2) Others have mined stake that wasn't softforked
(3) The disclaimer in the Steemit Wallet
(4) No legal document in place to prove the Steemit Inc. stake isn't private
(5) The ninja mined stake owned by others that aren't Steemit INC. has been used and is continued to be used to vote in "real" witnesses.
Not too mention the timing of the fork. Justin Sun stake was forked just days after the AMA / shortly after the official announcement he purchased Steemit INC. and stake. I'm not sure you realize how bad all this looks and not in the favor of the witnesses. How anyone thought it was a good idea to soft fork a millionairs funds days after he announced his acquisition is beyond me. He not only has the funds to fight back but also much more resources. Justin Sun could easily crush the Steem coins value if he wanted.
