Because of the radicalization that I think would follow with the possibility to punish and retaliate.

But then again, the exact same mechanism has existed for years regarding the flagging of posts and comments! And that works reasonably well (with an occasional quarrel left and right).

So why wouldn't the exact same mechanism not work regarding witness voting?

Flag wars are not good for Steem's image as they are now. If they are going to the governance level, it will only be worse. Only my opinion here.

And valued (your opinion) it is (at least by me), thx again for sharing!
