Is that a better question? Then “why do you vote for a witness that is no longer running a witness?” Seems like a completely different question to me.
I vote for witnesses based on what they do for the platform, and when they do something I think is out of line, I share my thoughts with them.
Sort of like how I contacted you to end the flag war and you ignored me, then pretended on chain that it was your idea all along.
So, if you want to go over why I vote for the witnesses I do, I’m for that. But the question was why vote for a “witness” that is no longer running a witness.
