Just because consequence are unintended does not mean they are unimaginable. I have two examples in my comment, after all.

I think the analogy would be, say a restaurant hires a busboy to clean.  But he starts cleaning tables when people are still eating.  This is an improper use of "cleaning."  So the restaurant says, "we don't like the way people are cleaning, so lets get rid of all of the cleaning supplies."  Problem solved?

I think the more appropriate analogy is the restaurant wants to clean off the tables by letting anyone take anything off any table. People put a lot of work into cooking a dish and someone throws it out before it is eaten. Why bother putting effort into cooking in a restaurant like that?

Doesn't matter what the analogy is because you said:

> I don't like the functionality at all.

Which, to me, means no cleaning because people might clean wrong.

Fine, let's use your analogy where everyone feel entitled to "clean" everyone else's table, which I agree is a terrible situation.  So the restaurant says, "we don't like the way people are cleaning, so lets get rid of all of the cleaning supplies." Problem solved?

I don't think changing the analogy makes your solution of eliminating the functionality at all suddenly work.

The proposed is a UI design change that has no impact on the core functionality of upvotes/downvotes. Can you think of any stakeholder with enough to 'bully the have nots' that doesn't know enough about Steem to deliver downvotes through some other channel than Steemit UI?

I've had witnesses tell me that it is no longer possible to use the blockchain to convert SBD to Steem. Out of sight, out of mind. So, to answer your question, yes, I can think of a few that don't think past the UI.

I hope that any witness that told you conversions are no longer possible immediately lost your witness vote.

If somebody doesn't remember the difference between condenser and protocol, they should **not** be witnesses.
