Thx for the vote of confidence but i just tried to present the opposing opinion the best way i could. Im most definetly not an authority. Someone else could probably do it just as well or even better.
Its very hard to send a message across to witnesses when it matters more "who said what", then "what was said". But thats just DPOS...
When 500 of our voices arent worth as much as the voice of one Kevin, then it becomes imperative to come together and express our disagreement to the best of our ability.
Well the way I see it is that it's the current authority on the topic as long as they have failed to address the points being said. It shows weakness in the other side and that they do not wanna argue since they know they would lose in a rational discussion. I wrote a long in depth comment probably 300-400 words that clearly went over why this would fail. No response. If Steem witnesses do not wanna discuss certain things in depth then it shows serious weaknesses that can make all fall apart in the future.
