"...EA canceling all microtransactions..."

Don't you get it, there is no equivalent of EA here. Who are you directing your protests at? There is no government or authority or company that owns the Steem blockchain. Who do you expect to listen to your protests and what do you expect them to do?

I suppose I need to spell it out for you -

My post was targeted at:

• Minnow Booster and other organisations that provide the services much like EA.
• Encourage curators and curation groups. Consider them to be startups or sole proprietorships that can challenge establish organisations who offer a questionable service (EA).
• Witnesses who form the governance on the Steem blockchain. It is an appeal to developers and witnesses to take notice of the flaws, devise solutions, and implement them in future hardforks. (If you see the roadmap post, people already are suggesting solutions to some of these issues)

I assume you're new to Steem and don't understand how it works. I and others have had a lot of success in campaigning for new hard forks, and we shall continue doing so. Some of the major changes we have brought about are the change from hyperinflation in HF16, the move to linear rewards in HF19, and soon, easy account sign up in HF20.

Ok. Good. I agree with you.

You just shifted gears quite quickly though. It was not at all apparent that you were campaigning for a hard fork. You don't mention it once in your post. In fact, it was the opposite: it was very clear that you were simply asking people to stop and I was arguing that a hard fork was the only solution the whole time. And now suddenly you are telling me I don't know how steem works?

I also don't particularly appreciate the passive aggressiveness and snarkiness, especially given your stated enthusiasm for etiquette.

Ha, I was just responding the same tone as you, assuming you would be comfortable with it. I apologise though, didn't mean to cause any offense.

its all good, thanks. best of luck with this, i'd love to see a hardfork solution to this.
