Perhaps anarchy already exists and "THE COMMUNITY" is merely the highest manifestation of organized crime.

I don't subscribe to just one, I think
both exist, and both have their place.
I can go on a Safari with a long arm &
shoot a Lion just because I can do it.
Or I can go on a Safari with a long
arm & shoot a Lion in self defense.

They both demonstrate law of the
jungle, but the latter was within
the realm of reasonableness if
am protecting my or someone
else's life in a lion attack. Guy's
post seems to suggest that we
can fork if he chooses to go his
own way w/o comm support.

You can't subscribe to "optional" principles.

If you consider principles "optional", then THEY'RE NOT PRINCIPLES.

A principle is something you follow no-matter-what-the-cost.

If you can be bribed or bullied - then you had no principles in the first place.

So if you go on a Safari because you're
an animal lover, and the tour guide is
attacked by one lion in a pack of lions.

Do you shoot that lion with his rifle or
not? Mind you, if you don't, what will
end up happening is one of the other
lions will attack the group. The keys
to the automobile are in the pants
of the man getting attacked by the
lion. So, you either go against your
principles and kill the animal. Or
let the animal eat the tour guide
keys and all, and wait for the rest
of the pack to eat the group?

It's a trolley problem whereby
one's inner principles & morals
are challenged based on events.

I think you might like this, it is a
free Harvard lecture about Justice.
It can be easy to view things solely in
black and white, but on rare occasion
life gets in the way and muddles it all up.

Exactly..... a choice is not a choice,
in and of itself! The Harvard lecture
is edifying though, even beyond the
trolley problem there is much to learn.

I've been told repeatedly by high-ranking-community-leaders, "if you don't like it, start your own blockchain".

That's exactly what they should have done (since that's the advice they give to everyone else).

Can't argue that, also since the community
divide will likely result in two blockchains.
This means, you don't have to collect the
airdrop on the sisterchain. You can just
use the tron/steem chain if ya want.

Does this mean that steemcleaners and cheetahbot and marky will GO AWAY??

Hmmmm, that might be interesting!!

Good question.
