Ironically, as I was writing it I couldn't help but to mull over ways to actually make it work. In the end, I had to cut a few bits because the interview was beginning to sound like ... a good idea. :-)
When picking a new Pope, they lock all the Cardinals in a room and no one comes out until they've reached a consensus. It's called a "Conclave."
What if ... we made both Justin Sun and the Top 20 Witnesses do the "Jazz Hand Dance" every day, on video, until they'd reached a deal? I suspect they'd come to a resolution pretty damned quickly, don't you? It's all about providing the right kind of incentives. :-)
starving poets...@quillfire, I have but one criticism. You forgot one very important category of specialists. One which comprises really important people - for
Or is it a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth?
In all seriousness, thank you for the chuckle. Much needed with all the FUD and paranoia - not just on Steemit, but with the Covid-19 crap stuff, too.
I was going to include "'specialists' who habitually cook their meat over a campfire in their back yards despite owning perfectly functional barbecues, ovens and microwaves" ... but I thought better of it. Provoking the entire nation of South Africa violated my instincts for self preservation. :-)
I actually had created a LONG post explaining to Justin Sun and the Witnesses exactly how to resolve their impasse. I deleted it. People are not fighting due to a paucity of ideas. They're fighting because they want to save face. Logic doesn't work to resolve such conflicts. They're going to have to do it the hard way.
So, instead, I went for 'comic relief."
Laughing won't solve the problem but it will lighten the load of having to carry it.

Occasionally, it seems, brains triumphs over brawn.
I fear that this impasse has only one outcome, and not one which the little fish and even many whales and orcas would prefer. And I say this from the position I've adopted during most of this:
Hahaha. I've been awaiting your return — who knew it would be so personal?
Take my pitifully depreciated upvote sir!
....and by the by, there are far too many damn Dans around these parts.
It gets confusing.
@d-pend,
Hey mate. I hope you liked your hat. :-)
I was going to have Jerry Springer buy out Justin Sun but didn't think anyone would believe the headline. How are you making out?

@quillfire This is hilarious!!
@joeylim,
Thanks Joey.

Time for some good satire, you have been missed!
Obviously reading quietly on the sidelines brewing up a grand retort, welcome back @quillfire
@joanstewart,
And I've missed Steemit, especially the PHC crew.

Good to hear from you.

Seeing some white smoke come out of the chimney stack would be an excellent option.
Good to have you back @quillfire
I may have snorted a few times :)
@carlnash,
Hey Carl.
You're laughing now but give the Civil War another couple of weeks ... all this is going to sound both brilliant and prophetic! :-)
Quill
AAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
