One thing I don't get, why attack him and not the moral instigator, the system itself for allowing him to do that?
Do you really think HE is the problem? Aren't there more important issues to adress than him?

The system itself requires the members to decide what is and isn't moral. One whale is allowed to upvote his own posts to the tune of hundreds of dollars per post ten times a day; another whale is allowed to flag those posts into oblivion. This is the nature of the platform. It is very new and unusual.
OK, I understsand that, but let's not pretend neither Haejin nor Sanders represent the average steemit user. Or that this is really the biggest problem in the platform.
When you say that the system requires the member to decide what is and isn't moral, you mean the high SP users, not the masses. Sounds familliar...
I think that Haejin and Sanders represent themselves, not the "average steemit user", not "the masses" (whatever that means).
Those who have more stake in the platform are entitled to make more influential decisions. That's the nature of the platform. It doesn't make sense that those with less skin in the game should have more of a say.
Besides, there are other things to do on steemit other than care about these guys and what they do. The drama is interesting to me because the nature of the platform gives opinions actual weight and impact. It's like a social experiment where trolls can actually have power (but also responsibility). Other than that, I don't waste much time on this drama and it doesn't affect me or what I do.
I agree, but Sanders has repeated many times that he's doing this for the minnows and he keeps pushing everyone to flag this or that.
I've heard him say that he does it for fun and the benefit to minnows is a side effect. That's just me though, and I admittedly don't follow every word he (or anybody) says.
