I see both sides and i error on the side that was taken in action because there was really no good choice. I do think A LOT of the witnesses we had were rude to people, voted for each other (while pointing the finger and down voting others doing the same thing), barely engaging to others and entitled to the position because newbies barely even heard the word witness let alone know what it is and why its important. I for one, am glad some of these people are "out" and i hope they NEVER get back in. I have always respected you Luke and we have met in person before although i'm sure you don't remember. That being said EVERYONE here who is a witness needs to look into the mirror and ask themselves if they are earning every steem they get from being a voted witness. There is MUCH to improve all the way around for everyone....even the little peeons like me who don't really matter to any of the witnesses.....well until they need my vote. Same as in any politics i guess.
