Agree with the fact that the HIVE users should've concentrate on HIVE instead of using part of their energy and time to fight for their cause on the Steem chain. However, most of the users on the list didn't contribute to all the anti-Steem posts and chats on the Steem chain. Most of the users on the list are in powerdown on the Steem chain. So how are they still a threat to Steem?

And why did you take away the rights to take out Steem? Don't you want these users to power down and sell their Steem so that are gone forever?

Also, note that some of your facts are not the true facts, or the entire true facts. For instance, exchanges only started to powerdown AFTER many Steem users made absolutely clear to Binance and Hyobi that they can start a powerdown. Poloniex didn't follow suite, but we all know this one is owned by Justin/TRON. Without all the efforts of numerous Steemians, they would've - likely - further colluded with Justin, TRON and Steemit Inc in driving any changes through the blockchain as they wanted.

Note that I'm more than happy to see two chains going their own paths with their own roadmap and own eco-systems. I actually think this is good since the world is big enough to host many of these projects such like Steem. Note also that I'm far from ok with the continuous battling. But I'm also strongly against this new softfork taking away the rights of a few users of which some of them will never harm Steem. As a matter of fact, some Steem users that are not on the list are more harmful to the existance of Steem than those on the list. Just saying :)

Puzzled: Why do you want to stick to sending post rewards to NULL? Why not simply decline payout? Don't you guys (and girls) know how Steem works?
