@exyle I totally get the point on the slippery slope.
It's a little scary actually, considering all the wonderful potential the Steem blockchain has.
But then again, I think it is the fear of the wonderful potential going up in smoke that prompted the Soft Fork. Because fear leads us to go on the defensive, do things pre-emptively for self-preservation.
I do hope this issue gets sorted out - and that fear wouldn't reverberate deep into our consciousness. <3
