Everyone focuses on the drama, it's always been that way! Twice now blocktrades has sent me a big DV, but on both occasions, the upvote from rancho and 'h' compensated me greatly.
There's little anyone can do about that big stake of rancho's, if he wants to curate, then he's free too. I feel it is insincere voting, but that's the design of HIVE.
Human nature at it's (less than) finest... yes - too true!
Life by design is imperfectly perfect I suppose, but again... happy to nullify that in whatever way I/we can :) (Referring to Hive....)
