I hold you in high regard and am glad that it's not only me that had sleepless nights over this.
I also thought of just walking away but I can't, and believe me, having an opposite viewpoint from all the people I have known for so long has not been easy for me either.
Now that the decision to temporarily freeze is taken it seems silly to oppose it, the idea can't be put back in the box. It will always be out there, that parts pains me.
It's good to see you in the decision making progress regardless. You are, in my opinion, one of the best witnesses Steem has.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply, man. It means a lot.
