Hi @doodlebear. Thank you for your reply!
We understand and hear your concern. The witness account however is @blockbrothers and had not muted anyone and is a 100% reachable for anyone. Especially so because of the notifications app we released for free. Each member receives all mentions of @blockbrothers.
@bennierex and any single private entity of blockbrothers is free to use the steem blockchain as we (just like you) see fit. Though we do so with the utmost discretion and maturity. It’s one of the reasons we joined forces and set up a seperate account for witnessing and developping on the steem blockchain.
This way our personal accounts won’t interfere with the witness account.
I hope you can relate to the difference between the personal and the witness.
witness cant block any users.
Which our witness @blockbrothers doesn't do.
Even more so, we have set up multiple ways for anyone to reach us. See our @blockbrothers witness post titled Ways of Interacting for all the ways you can reach us.
