"There is no way the community was going to let what we worked so hard on being taken and destroyed."

While I fail to see where Steemit has any kind of a sustainable business plan, I am quite certain that nothing will result in the total demise of the Steemit forum platform, more so than will some of Steemit's own Witnesses and long-time members. Witnesses like @themarkymark, his sidekick @buildawhale, and long-time members like @steemcleaners @roomservice @bullionstackers @freebornangel @quarantine @bookguy @mack-bot @the-reef @block-power @blockcreate @steemcleaner and others, have done far more to alienate and drive away Steemit members than has anything else.

These witnesses and members are truly the scum of the earth. They don't give a damn about Steemit beyond having the ability to abuse their power to manipulate the system to their own personal advantage, by making sure that the vast majority of Steemit members get nothing for their curator efforts, while at the same time filling their own corrupt and greedy pockets.

Now we are indeed at a crossroads here! So which side of the tracks are "you" on? Either you want Steemit to survive and will do all in your power to get rid of these assholes like @themarkymark, @buildawhale and those others mentioned above, or you will continue to allow their extremely abusive behavior, and see the total and absolute collapse of Steemit. The choice is "yours" to make. Either @themarkymark and his band of criminals go, or Steemit goes along with @ned! Which is it? There are really no other options!
