Fair enough.

But it is your power being delegated to Steem Guild right now. And the response/reactions by some of its members and supporters is troubling.

That is excellent! I remember the idea floating around, but I didnt expect anything to come of it. Glad to learn it is on the way.

I am not sure it is fair to say you are hands off, if your voting power is delegated to the guild.

Eh, give the guy a break. It's clear what he meant. He has refrained from commenting, due to the upcoming changes he mentioned. After voting power can be delegated on the blockchain level, this will be a moot point.

once the abuse is institutionalized, it won't be abuse anymore? BEcause we can only assume that the same practices everyone is concerned about now (SG upvoting their own shitposts as payment for reading steemit) will continue.

Although I understand his point and yours, I disagree it isn't an issue right now. As, it is a creditability issue for SteemIt, and he is a Founder.

I would say it "appears" it is not a hands-off approach. Appearances matter.

I didn't burn him at the stake. ;)
