those who actively contributed to (and publicly declared support for) the centralization of the Steem Blockchain.
Christmas 2019: "Steem looks interesting; think I'll buy a few, power up and check back in a year. Not sure about all this witness stuff though. Think I'll just proxy to the local community account; what's the worst that could happen?"
Now's not the time to be vindictive.
We need to find ways to include people, instead of looking for reasons to exclude them.
I'd like to see everything but SINMS honoured, without any purity tests; but if the plan is to exclude balances which proxied vests to an account which voted for bad witnesses; can we at least exclude those balances who proxied before everything got ugly?
If you build your home on the bones of your enemies; don't be surprised if its haunted.
