Hi @davemccoy yes I fully understand your frustration and decision.
You may consider leaving a small amount in your account. That way you can still have your say without the burden of concern that you will be flagged by the Military style Chain of Command.
There are still many people who do not see what is going on. When enough people actually see it, together we could do something about it.
Democratically elected witness is what we need, rather than the Stake based witness selection we suffer under now.
I completely agree... and I'll keep my eyes open... :)
ps...when I see an account such as yours that is -4 and I know you only got on the wrong side of someone because you wouldn't kowtow, it makes the perfect case for following your solution. Obviously the whales either don't get it or are part of the problem... (either way, no solutions forthcoming from those guys)
