This could be a moot point and not actually what happened over a tron, but i don't remember a time on Steem where the majority were held waiting for a month before uncontactable/silent consensus witnesses were finally ousted.

That's entirely reasonable and correct, but ask yourself why it didn't happen that way on Tron.

Why didn't the other voters simply kick these SRs? Clearly they had some disagreement with Justin over whether that was needed or even advisable.
