First, I didn't agree with the softfork and I certainly don't agree with JS's counter move, which undermined every single one of us.
I agree, we must stick to our ideals and Justin's ethic are certainly in question. I can't justify working with him either.
I believe we need to fork with some changes. Those are; get rid of the witness hierarchy, increase the node count to infinite and take the staked weight out of governance voting to truly decentralize the fork. Then this will not happen in the future.
All nodes should be equal. Nodes, not witnesses.
