Police state? This is sounding very police state. It's their stake, yes we want them to be more open with us but forking out coins is very much censorship.
If the stake is our voice, then forking anyone's stake out to null would be a clear sign were not anti-censorship. This would be clearly going against our chains use case. Making it untrustworthy. Where does this stop, if we allow the stake to be taken from steemit. That means anyone is a target.
Also. anyone who is telling them the power down needs to stop. They need to stop powering down as well. If it's not okay for them to power down it's not okay for anyone. We can't have selective standards if we can't follow them ourselves.
Yeah, its just silly, forkout anyone... lol
