Yes, we are doing much better than others regarding decentralization, that's for sure... Also, your objection about the bigger stake that gives more influence stands... But... Me having more stake than you doesn't mean that I'm better than you, or that you CAN'T ask me questions if I do some shady things...
I got triggered by that kind of behavior, where the person put himself over the other, trying to shut his mouth by pointing out a smaller stake...
Influence and "weight" of words said by different people is one thing, but basic rights and freedom of speech is everyone's right... As we are promoting HIVE as such, we should at least "keep our word" and prevent abuse of power...
Cheers!!
