I am confident we share emotional response to the extant situation.

My avatar also reveals my attitude to centralized control of society.

If Sun exercises governance absent community agreement, which I believe he can given his possession of ~100M Steem, the exchanges will likely be off the hook - but Steem will no longer maintain the illusion of decentralization, which I note has already been dispelled by the sale of the founder's stake and Tron's exercise of governance of Steem at it's sole option.

How we feel ultimately is irrelevant. The factual possession of stake is what governs extant circumstances. Presently the exchanges allow community witnesses to populate consensus positions. They can, or Tron can, if Tron possesses the stake I have been told it does by reliable sources, eliminate those community witnesses and execute the HF Sun seeks.

I strongly recommend leaving the ball in Tron's court, where it actually is, and preparing to fork to a platform that will enable actual decentralized governance by excluding stake nominal to exercise too much power via witness votes from doing so.
