I do not think Hive account@ned is the one flagging Hive account@masteryoda . The person flagging Hive account@masteryoda has chosen him as a scapegoat, because he is the least to bring back retaliation from whales. The other accounts on the list are obviously targeted but not with same fury. It's time we step back and start thinking why these solutions are only a disguise to a worsening problem. I was hoping the two sides would meet at the middle, instead we are pulling further apart. Alienating some would only cause the whole to fracture, and nothing positive comes of it. If killing Hive account@masteryoda's account will make steemit a better place then I am all for it, but the truth is it will not.

I was once disillusioned with the idea that whales were the cause of all our problems, I truly no longer believe so. Maybe they are just the convenient hanger we love to stretch our disappointments on.

I said it before, the point of failure is not what people do, it's what people are able to do. You can not give someone power and expect him to use it without any set of rules. If the issues were dealt with on the blockchain, this case and others would not surface.

So now we assign a surrogate to negate Hive account@smooth's vote on an account, and with him the votes of 200 other people. Hive account@masteryoda quits, the surrogate moves to another account, or will he? How fast can you kill accounts in this fashion?

I had conversations with many people about abuse, and the conclusion is if the whales wanted to abuse the system, they can do much more than you and I think. The best solution was to bring everyone to some sort of agreement, but the path taken was opposite to what common sense dictates.

Farewell Hive account@masteyoda , Farewell Hive account@rok-sivante , and Farewell Hive account@commonsense
