it doesn't justify stealing
I agree in principal.
This has moved far beyond simply "an eye for an eye".
I strongly disagree.
Unless we have experienced that kind of prolonged attack I do not believe that any of us are in a position to negatively judge his actions. Those who have experienced prolonged abuse will be less inclined to make a negative judgment against him. He is only protecting what is his.
I would have done it very differently but only because I have spent time looking into the structure. You can not give any quarter to the psychopathic. They are lost forever
They're taking funds from people who didn't have anything to do with the jsun incident.
Now they're taking funds simply because they can.
The most shocking for me was @ theycall me dan. On one level I understand it, on another level I see it as wrong.
When an individual or group has made it clear that they are at war with you, and they want to destroy you, you will do whatever you need to do, just to survive and protect yourself.
They drew first blood and kept up a fictitious narrative with no basis in reality.
Exactly, now that they've started confiscating account funds, I no longer feel my investment is safe.
They do not appear to be going after just anyone. It looks very targeted to me, clearing out the openly hostile forces.
The problem I have is that i do not trust the people here. I trust them even less than the other guy. At least i can make sense of the actions. A wise woman once said to me ''You can not trust people who tell you lies'' and sadly there is no shortage of those with this team.
There's no shortage of liars on either side (the corporate bs alternatives are all full of liars as well).
However, I'll pick 20 idiot kings over any 1 idiot king any day of the week.
Let me know when hive starts draining the accounts of "troublemakers" and I'll nuke this account as well.
lol If i see that i will let you know.
Sister chains has a nice feel to me. I am thinking that it may be possible to set it up as a competition between the two chains. I guess that would require some thought in developing some suitable metrics.
War like behavior begets a war like response, mostly anyway, but not necessarily.
I have noticed some positive responsiveness to reasonable suggestions in some places and not so much in others, so far.
Edit
There are some aspects to Steemit that seem to be outperforming Hive.
This kind of thing disturbs me a lot and may be one such aspect along with curation rewards for smaller accounts.

I recognize the wisdom of accepting what is. However we must not stop there, we need to actively create how we want things to be.
I appreciate your vigilance.
