Hey @proofofbrainio, that mute was not required in my opinion. It's like adding fuel to fire. There should have been proper dialogue and discussion between the two parties. There are people (including me) who feel that @lucylin got overrewarded so I don't see any problem here. That's proof of brain, right? You could have adjusted @azircon's downvotes if you think they are not justified. You kept on supporting him even if he was exposed as a scammer by several Hive oldies which is totally okay. Maybe he's a changed person now, you see the good in Lucy and I am not judging him for his past choices. BUT that doesn't change the fact that he's being overrewarded constantly. For what? For creating controversies? For stating the obvious? For mocking other people with stupid, poorly edited, low-quality shit video? Which copied two copyright songs blatantly. Would you downvote this crap now that you know it's a clear-cut case of plagiarism? @lucylin/ypffirmv

Is this the culture you want to promote here and do you think it's better than Hive? I don't think so and there are several people who don't feel the same. Technically tribes are centralized but in reality, the action of their stakeholders and the tribe owners matter. Many peeps on PoB crib about centralization, censorship, bullying etc., that is going on Hive. This is no different to me. To make this right, maybe ask for people's votes and I am sure many of your own POB friends will vote against your decision of muting @azircon. You can do anonymous voting!

I don't think your actions stopped the drama. Not even a bit. It's only going to grow if you guys don't resolve this in peace by setting aside your emotions and egos. Find a concrete solution to all these problems by collaborating with each other and not doing the opposite.

Do you know how many people you guys are pushing away because of this shitshow? I have said it before multiple times. This doesn't seem like a positive place anymore. I was so excited about this a few weeks ago. Seeing all this happening, it's disheartening and demotivating. I had so many crazy plans to execute but I am in a huge dilemma now. You seem like a reasonable guy and I really appreciate what you have built here. Like all the cool initiatives & contests that the community organizes and I log in to the platform for them. Just don't want to see all of it getting ruined. I sincerely hope we make peace and focus on building rather than fighting.
