Hey, @whatsup.

I'm glad you've done some asking around and getting some answers. I was afraid that they hadn't thought that far ahead. Now I know.

What I managed to get was they were pleased with their cooperation. Under different circumstances, I'd be pleased that they managed to come together, too.

Believe me, it took me two days to get to this point. I'm hoping I can move on, but of all the things that have happened on the STEEM blockchain (and that's been a lot in the last two plus years), this action seems to be affecting me much more than the rest.

Stake on STEEM used to be sacrosanct. Now, it's not. Sure, you'd probably suffer the consequences if you crossed the wrong person, but there wasn't someone (or someones) moving to block usage of it. Now there is, as temporary and as reversible as it might be. That's a very slippery slope, and I don't like the precedent it sets.
