You're not fooling anyone with a new witness account and pretending it's a legitimately voted member of our distributed community. This account has very few votes compared to lower level witnesses that have put in years of work supporting this chain.
From https://steemian.info/witnesses
We have groups that are trying to force the witnesses from Steemit Inc. out, as the force is claiming that the Steem used for voting was never planned for voting witnesses.
"Witnesses from Steemit" <-- You mean sock puppets sybil attacking the chain? And this isn't some empty claim. It's well documented.
because it would eventually weaken the whole community for all sides.
You sure about that? Imagine a chain split where all the apps, all the users, and all the community move to the new chain. All that would be left on Steem would be Justin and his sock-puppets. Seems in that situation, we win, he loses.
As for your statement, is there no situation where you might take direction action to protect the integrity of the chain? None at all? So if the chain was attacked and value destroyed, you'd be okay with that happening on your watch as an elected witness?
