Thanks for the wonderful input, I can't help but agree.
With splinterlands proposal, I think old wounds were opened, some people had the time to reignite their grudges. Unfortunately the place where the allegiance of a person lies can make it easier to attract enemies or will I say anti-friends..
In the case of Hive, I think decentralization allows people to over express themselves and this can bring issues.
Maybe in the future the chain can find ways to mitigate some of the issues that comes with over-decentralization
