Thank you for the rational, succinct and very level headed perspective of what's really going on. I to need to hear what everyone(campaigning for leadership positions) is for rather than what they are against before I decide how to use my votes.
I'm realistic like you and do not expect to get everything I want, but need to see some compromise from all sides. Steemit has many issue's that need fixing and it's time those fixes happen. Not campaign promises either. Cold hard ideas that can happen soon, with a clear plan to institute them.
I hope to see a change in tone as well. Some of the language and attitude is uncalled for and is creating more harm than good to put it nicely.
Thank you for your input. I hope we may use this opportunity to move steem in a better way. Previously it was slowly dying with no changes.
