I invite you to have a look at @lukestokes' short and concise vlog. He said everything that I think better than I could write.
when y'all decide to start freezing accounts and stealing people's stake...
No stakes have been stolen (from Justin) and won't ever be, except by Ned who had misused it for personal enrichment.
... you just switched from DpoS blockchain straight to POS blockchain.
No, we are still DelegatedPOS and you are free to exercise your right by removing your witness vote if you consider that this delegation is no longer in agreement with your opinion. That's what you did with your vote for me and I respect that.
This said @trumpman is absolutely right in his post. Witnesses should have reacted a long time ago, and we did as the code was already implemented for HF14, but not activated because when we talked about it, Ned started to move the funds away and it was too late.
I was much lower in the ranking at that time, as was the importance of my opinion. But this is no excuse.
