I have not, but just looking at how many vests they control, all it basically takes is freedom/pumpkin and blocktrades and you are a top witness no matter what. There is only one witness in the top 20 not getting a freedom/pumpkin vote.

So, in effect, he is dictating the direction of the entire platform.

It can't be that way.

I was told we need to rally up support from the community to make this change.

Getting the witnesses interested in it may be another topic all together, after all it will affect some of them continuing to be within the top 20...
