Perhaps you should study ETH and ETC case a bit, and the same applies to anyone who agree with Ash. Compare their success, adoption and the history.

After a fork there still would be Steem, nothing would change here. There'd just be another coin just like it but without a HUGE ninja mined stake (one could even call it stolen assets because others were not given the resources to mine. Yep, stealing in my eyes.).

Is that a dumbest idea in a long time? I think not.
