Hi @apshamilton, @culgin

Many people keep saying that Justin destroyed trust because he escalated conflict with witnesses. However I would need to ask you: did you ever had a feeling that any of witnesses (with exception of 2-3) actually ever cared about supporting content creators and our communities?

I never did.

Also current situation reminds me of a problem: which one was first - egg or chicken?

In our situation: which one was first - hostile actions done by Justin or witnesses? Most people say that Justing 'started'. However 'soft fork' has been nothing but "bitchslap" - action that proved that there cannot be peace between Justin and current "steem rulers".

We're all very worried and unhappy with unfolding scenario. That's the fact. I would only like to know how many of us would react differently if we were in Justin shoes. After unexpected soft-fork I surely would come to conclusion than working together with current set of witnesses is not going to be possible.

In a way "we got what we worked for".

Yours, Piotr
