RE: A few thoughts...

by upvoting the return proposal without first having a constructive discussion of his concerns regarding the proposal on chain or through private messages. His non-constructive (bordering on hostile) decisions cost him votes. That’s part of being a witness. There are better ways to handle proposal concerns and better ways he can handle interpersonal challenges than what he wrote.

But couldn't the same be said for you? When I found out @pharesim upvoted the return proposal, I asked him what it would take to get his support. His response seemed reasonable to me.

The exchange between the two of you which he posted also could have been more constructive. It came off as a sort of strong arming the situation and I suspect that's probably the reason why the return proposal is up so much higher now.

Cooler heads prevail on all sides and I hope you, @smooth, @engrave and everybody else can get together and talk things out because I believe that the continued success of @splinterlands is good for Hive and both of those need a win.
