Thanks for this! Hadn't seen the code that was threatening the accounts, just the power down and a vague reference to it. While I'm not even close to the top 21 witnesses, I agree entirely, and will similarly make @yabapamatt's pledge.

I, @petertag, will not in any way, run a version of steemd on my servers as a Witness, that are risking the funds of any account.

Edit: although, on second thought, we really shouldn't have to pledge like this. This is the kind of thing that ruins a block chain, even considering taking any account's crypto and burning it. While proposals are certainly accepted in general because it's an open community, I'm surprised @ned even considered the thought that witnesses would approve it. I didn't make a statement (except for some comments on the power down) because I had barely any idea this 'proposal' happened, and none as to what the proposed HF would actually do.
