Thank you for taking the time to read my comment and respond. I see you constantly talking to the users, responding to the difficult posts with your direct style. I appreciate that. At first, I didn't understand your communication style, but I have learned some things - especially about the decentralized nature of SteemIt from reading your comments.
I realize we will disagree on this part, but I say it with respect. I don't see what was done as a personal attack or a witch hunt, but rather an investigation. All young organizations have things to work on. Acknowledging the issues and working through them adds to trust. What happened in a variety of posts on this topic, is a lack of trust was exposed, discussed, and it turns out some of the assumptions were only partially true. By allowing the conversation to take place an issue was at least partially resolved. What I learned is there are checks and balances on all of us. It made me feel better about the platform. I am sorry some people felt attacked. Some brought it on themselves by acting as if they are above being questioned. I am ready to move on. Anything I said, I said it with the best interest of Steem as a motive.
I appreciate and respect your reply. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. They inform my understanding of how different people view the system.
