I do agree with some of your points here more than your original comment which was flagged. But I still think @meno's comment is important for documentation purposes. It's not to make them feel bad or be unprofessional, because to use @steemit's delegated power to do something shady behind the scenes needs to be brought to light. Of course I agree with the sentiment to forgive and move on. I hope a better streaming platform is created on the STEEM blockchain in the coming weeks/months.

thank you, for the SBI enrollement. i do appreciate it.
hf20 lag kicked my rhythm onsteemit.
im quite surprised to see this about Dlive, but i did find it strange when it was running when steem was not.
I learned today that there is https://www.vimm.tv/ basically does the same thing. Dtube also supports streaming. If these people wants dlive to fail, they should act differently. Instead of wasting their power to flag me, upvoting some newbie's content over there might actually help. But NOPE.
Yeah, I think people are really heated about this right now and emotion probably took over. I also rarely flag because I'd prefer to give the rewards to someone else. I do admire people like Bernie who are willing to use their stake for the purpose of countering scammers, though. Both methods (up/down vote) make the STEEM blockchain much more dynamic than somewhere like Facebook, where there isn't even a simple thumbs down built in.

Not at all, I used to hate the way he acted. It's just over the months I've come to understand his underlying intentions better. Respecting someone doesn't mean I agree with the way they go about things or even everything they do. All I said is I respect him for being one of the few whales willing to sacrifice profit to counter bad actors.
Did you say Dlive is doing something shady behind the scenes? I see Dlive left Steem, and is that shady or what was the shady part of it, specifically? Was it shady because Dlive didn't come forward with their plan to leave Steem until now? Did Dlive violate contracts, trust, or something?
There's a lot of speculation at this point, which I usually avoid unless it's certain, but in this case it seems like there is a high probability that this was their plan all along. I doubt they had a physical contract with @steemit, instead, they broke an unspoken contract by using a massive delegation to pay their team and build a competing platform. That's made a lot of people committed to STEEM pretty upset.
If they had been honest about their intentions, I doubt they would have gotten the huge delegations they did. I believe they knew that so they kept it secret as long as possible to continue milking the rewards pool.
Agreed, they could have done it differently, and we should be upset, and I hope we bounce back even stronger than ever without Dlive and with alternatives and everything. Thanks so much for talking about this. Upvoted.
