In my perspective, however, we fucked things up by instigating the hostility. It's like throwing a bomb first into someone's city to see if they'll react. And when they do, we say they're evil, and that we totally knew they had the intent to attack us from the beginning. The logic isn't consistent with the tenets of Peace.

Wrong. A decision was made. If you have been around during Town hall meetings you would know that the code was made public a two days before it was implemented on github. You see it as hostility while more than half of community agreed it with. And given the nature of a soft fork which suppose you know, it can be voted against but guess what it never happened. In fact witnesses lost their top spot for not implementing it. You keep talking about the community deciding. The community has decided--major of it. Thats why a hardfork is supported. It's a clear indication of the community decision.

You're under the premise that those excluded accounts shouldn't have disagreed with anything at all. Because every single decision we made WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

Wrong again. No one was excluded for disagreeing. You are excluded because you voted for sockpuppets and centralisation. It was a code, no one was handpick, i am sure you know that. Many of the top consensus witness disagreed with the soft fork but they never voted for sockpuppets witnesses. Even ned who is a major culprit here got airdrops. So it has nothing to do with your opinion but your decision to vote.

It's the classic centralized thingy.

It can never be centralised if decisions are made by more than of person or group. The witnesses are a group people with different views, same with the developers, and users like my self who do not supported the soft fork. If this is centralised, then i put it to you that you dont understand how dpos works. Even the creator of this said platform, Dan, commend this move. Do you know more than the person who created steem? Certainly not. Even if you did, the simple fact that the community and dapps are moving to hive is a clear sign that this decision is supported by the community, or do you have a better explanation? You keep holding on to the witnesses decision to fork but guess what? We are passed that now. You and everyone else have the luxury of choosing where they want to be. If you want hive and you did not get airdrops, sale and buy. It's in the market or appeal for airdrops.

Consensus is by numbers. The majority

Rightly so.

You talk about a consensus that revolves around a few people. How is that true decentralization? You want decentralization and community decision, let's have this SPS debated on Hive SPS, see what the "majority" of users think about it.

I have seen you in countless of discussions with the vast majority of people who support this move. I do not know what clarity you are looking for but i am not sure you will find it. When it comes to consensus there will be the majority and minority. And you fail to realise that this is all voluntary now. You decide where you want to be. Everyone on steem was given an account on hive. That's your voice not your stake. The whole point of the move was to show what mattered more, stake or decentralisation. No one is forcing anyone to dump their steem for hive. If you dont want to be on hive because you did not get airdrops then stay on steem. You have your stake.

Nonso, give it a rest.

As soon as you stop replying.
