I agree. The witnesses probably should have tried to talk about this before taking actions to freeze steemit's accounts.

I remember the last time there was as little as a whisper about forking steemit's stakes, ned started powering down. They agreed such a thing won't happen as long as he accepted to use the stakes for development purposes, which he did.

Under new leadership, we should have reached out to rediscuss those terms first. But no, we had to act out of fear by freezing their stakes first. At that point, our intent didn't matter to Justin Sun. He bought the company with his money and he had to protect his assets from threats. 

I also think we must have been pretty dumb to think it was okay for ned to sell steemit with all that stake in the first place. If we believed it didn't belong to him, freezing it was a move we should have done a long, long time ago.

What part of what @ned did with his stake was your business?

@ned didn't do this.  He could have.  He had the power to do this for years, while we admired his hair, and didn't do it.

He *created* this blockchain.  He *allowed* you to speak freely on it - and now you blame him for @justinsunsteemit's actions?

Perhaps you fear your new overlord, and @ned never drove you to fear, because he was trustworthy.  Think about that.

Essentially what we could have asked about Justin Sun. 

What part of what @justinsuntron did with his stake was your business?

I didn't support the softfork because it was hostile. 
I think having a dialogue would have been the first thing we did.

I didn't support the SF either, because it was censorship.
