No. Please... No.
I can totally understand your frustration @berniesanders. I have followed you for a long time and I vote for you as a witness too.
Like I have said many times before, when I've felt "forced" to explain why I vote for you and why I believe you truly are one of the good guys on Steemit:
I do not personally agree with 100% of the things you do, but I still believe that what you are doing, is your way of protecting Steemit and your investment. You have many times been an inspiration even though I would've done things differently from time to time.
Despite all the hate and the anger one often feel when reading your posts... You are a good guy. You are trying to protect your investment and you're doing what you believe is for the greater good. Not for yourself but for the entire platform.
I have read many comments regarding your self votes and the bot votes you buy to highlight certain issues and to reward your posts... But I also feel that I know why you are doing it, so I have never had any problems with that at all. I also know that you often lose money by doing that. So you're basically investing more money even though you get a negative ROI. You continue with this approach because you believe in Steemit. You see potential and that is why I believe you are doing what you do.
Do not back down from this. I beg you. You and @fulltimegeek along with many others will win the battle against the cave troll.
