Ha! I just read the same article :)
I believe a person's reputation is product of their words and behavior. Whether that person is public or anonymous. Your choice to avoid interacting with people that don't resonate with your philosophy is wise. There are so many great accounts here that can help you grow as an individual as well as a fellow Hivean.
I'm glad you saw the post. I like reading A's post, it is very informative about whether truly happens on the chain and I think overall since he's a very respected user, I've learned a lot as an individual from him over the years.
I'm glad he made that call out, perhaps people will react and cultivate better attitude
