I wrote several paragraphs voicing my concern on this situation, but after further consideration I have removed them prior to posting so that I too do not face retaliation, assuming that's what this is. This is a hazard unique to Steem. That alone should express my feelings on the matter.
I would like to say that I feel that Steemservices has done a lot to promote this project and nextgen has been a vigilant witness. I see no good coming from this, which makes it even more senseless, and everyone should be prepared for anything and everything after 7/4.
