They were many witnesses, like me, who at first did not like the idea to prevent some operation for an account. Many of us expressed such concerns. But the vast majority finally came to a consensus to implement the softfork.

Maybe we are wrong. Then it's up to the community people to raise their voice and remove/switch votes to witnesses more in line with their opinion.

Well I've been working on switching them up.. I am definitely against freeing someone's account..

I guess you meant "freezing" (small typo 😉)

Tim Cliff also dissented in the implementation of the soft-fork.

Yes I saw that. He got a witness vote from me. Thanks
