RE: My understanding and thoughts regarding this ongoing witness battle

Thanks a lot for explaining your perspective.
And 22.2 community led a campaign asking for votes. These was even a case where they were clearly buying votes: CALL TO ACTION! EARN UPVOTES TO VOTE FOR WITNESSES
@theycallmedan was just trying to get people off their butts to vote on community witnesses. He is not a witness himself. A bit rash an action, admittedly, because of the long-term implications of this. I've never seen a witness offer money for votes, though.
I am now worried about potential repercussion: obviously I was not an ardent supporter of the 22.2, and I belong to a minority group (Korean). Isn't it possible that some people from 22.2 community attack me (downvoting, etc) or even freeze my account?
I don't think so.
Btw, do you know any Korean baduk players in the community?
Baduk(Go)? I do not know any, but I haven't asked - so my guess is that there are some and I don't know yet.
For example, I used to be a baduk player too.
Oh, I've played the game for 28 years. There is a club in our city that meets regularly. Did you play in tournaments?
oh wow. you must be really good. I played competitively when I was young- like 7 - and I was asked to be a pupil of a pro player and I stopped playing baduk after that (except playing with friends sometimes) as I didn't want to be a pro player.
going back to your question, I do not play in tournaments. which city do you live in?
Lahti, Finland (pop. ca. 120,000). Our club is quite small. 2-4 regulars.
