you can't just ditch them out from the equation
Yes you can and we should ditch them. They are a danger to decentralization and are at this moment hurting the chain greatly by keeping sockpuppet accounts in control of the chain.
They are an accomplice in the hostile takeover.
I cannot agree that they are aiding and abetting Tron's takeover. What they're doing is extortion, and they're using potential treachery to do it, but they've fallen short of actually enabling the takeover.
I don't think that's the right reason to ditch them. I think the extortion by threatening treachery, coupled with the reasons they're bitching about flags (botting mercilessly and getting flagged for it), are the right reasons. The quick powerdown they seek is simply misunderstanding - or they're hackers and want to steal our SP but the long powerdowns keep preventing their getting away with our Steem when they seize our accounts.
Makes no sense to me otherwise.
I think people see our 7-8 witnesses in top 20 and they think that there's a balance. I don't see it like that.
Justin is in control, the chain is centralized, he is the sole BP and the hostile takeover is done.
If you take that approach the Koreans are indeed enabling the takeover by voting for him.
I don't disagree with your view of consensus atm. I do disagree proxy.token voters see it that way. I reckon extortion is enough to discount their concerns though, and I reckon we're on the same side of that coin when all is said and done.
