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.
