Hi @rhondak
I just read through all the comments before me. The love and support given by many of the community members to @crypto.piotr speaks volume. I would agree and vouch for all the positive comments the community has made of him and hereby endorse them and adopt them as my own for the sake of brevity.
Mind you, there are many more out there who have not responded to this post, probably because they have not sighted it yet.
It is clear from the responses thus far that you have prejudged him without collating sufficient facts. That is prejudice!
He may have been pro-active and persuasive but I didn't find him aggressive. He did not send me a memo before I followed him. He did that only after I followed him. That, imho, doesn't make him a spammer. It is like sending a DM to your followers on Twitter. Since Steem does not provide for a DM, I take it that a memo should be the equivalent substitute. If I had told him not to send the memos he would have surely complied with my request. That I am sure.
I didn't find anything wrong in him expending his resources and energy in promoting other steemians, in competition with other communities offering similar resources. In fact, I found his methods far more effective than that of the other communities helping out new steemians.
I am one of those who is helping him out by delegating SP to deserving steemians. It was an informed decision on my part to do so, not a blind one. In fact, I am thinking of increasing the delegations!
