Open Letter to @ned and all Steemians - Stop the wars and the abuse of steem power, we are only damaging Steemit!

You need to read up more on what decentralized is, Steemit is centralized, it's privately owned, the power is held at the top, and the witnesses speak up for the little guys, that's called CENTRALIZED.

Decentralization is what Steem is, Steemit inc is not Steem. Nobody owns my account but myself, so what do you think that Steemit owns besides the steemit account?

So if no one owns your account but yourself then why would anyone else has the power to flag your account down to zero if they wanted?

Because you don't OWN the curation attached to your account obviously. I own the account because only I can post and vote and flag with my account, you think you can construe that because a cop can ticket you and impound your car he owns your car? GTFO.

and the witnesses speak up for the little guys, that's called CENTRALIZED.

I don't think you meant that because that is the opposite of Centralized.

Wrong because for that to be the witnesses would have to have considerable control over all and they don't, Steemit is too top heavy.

They do have considerable control over all, why are you saying they don't? The witnesses can form a consensus on what the CODE is, that could include even banning people or freezing accounts, only the witnesses in consensus (DECENTRALIZED) can edit the blockchain and remove content.
