I have to say that despite the issue at hand, the comments and discussions have been a lot more civil than most places I have seen online. Maybe we need the Jury Online project to settle this one?

I applaud all the people that have kept an open mind on this matter, and I can tell you from my experience passing down verdicts on tribunals, no one goes home happy even if someone actually 'wins'. I think this is a great example of why I think the Steemit community is going to become even bigger and better.
