    I really feel for SteemChiller and others in this thread: https://steemit.com/steemworld/@steemchiller/my-accounts-are-on-the-hive-blacklist . I fail to understand why more people are not alarmed by this. This is a very very bad beginning to a "new" (cloned, copied, pirated, whathaveyou) blockchain. Very bad.
    Uncovering various scams/money making schemes on Steem, I was aware of the moral/ethical perspectives of some of our "leaders". For those who didn't dig into history/project wallets/trace activity, this latest action should be a strong indicator of the same. I can't say I am surprised. I think the more appropriate word here to describe how I feel is: disappointed. I'm disappointed.
    A lot of talk about protecting morals/ethics, decentralization, freedom of speech and then actions that counter those very values.
    And yet, I see a lot of people turning a blind eye, asleep at the wheel, following the herd. It seems these days, people bank on that (and it pays).
