I'm not a fan of someone who wants to come in and disregard the existing community that has made steemit what it is. Sure, there is a lot that could be better but the way in which he wanted to make unilateral changes without any input and then to have the nerve to call the previous witnesses malicious hackers for voting how they feel just rubbed me the wrong way.
I can understand that.
I do think the initial action taken against Justin Sun's Stake was a mistake. And it seems that anything good that could have come out of the relationship may now be in jeopardy.
I have eaten my share of humble pie and it does not always taste so good. But at times its just the best thing to do to maintain or regain some integrity. We all fuck things up at some point lol
I would like to see people like @yabapmatt and @lukestokes take a more prominent role in negotiating the settlement. If they stick with the lineup in the last conversation it could drag on and on.
Do you have any thoughts about a choice of negotiators ?
Edit
I am unaware of any unilateral changes he wanted to make. I know the action was taken against his Stake because of fear that he would make unilateral changes but I I dont think they were justifiable fears? I dont know for sure
Thanks for the link. Yea fear and doubt are motivators but our witnesses took action against the Sun prematurely.
The way it looks now is that the Sun is struggling to even update his witness accounts! That says to me that he was not intending to vote in his own witnesses and his action were more likely to have been motivated by self preservation. I hate to admit it, but I am a bit racist and often feel uncomfortable dealing with Chinese people! Probably because i find it difficult to read them.
I just hope our guys choose people who have a clue about conflict resolution. @lukestokes would be my first choice and as a second @yabapmatt
Both sides need to be heard by each other for a speedy resolution.
Maybe we should run sweepstakes and bet on how long it will take to resolve : )
Yea I was just looking at that.
I have the feeling that whatever way it turns out that it wont be good for Steem.
How is all this sitting with you?

I think this comment here https://steemit.com/steemit/@netuoso/q5z15y lays out some of the evidence as to why they were justified fears.
