In my 3 short days here on steemit, I've noticed (at least in my own little corner) that people are remarkably more civil here than on, say, twitter. My personal observation is that people are more civilized when money is involved. This is just a hypothesis, though.
I really enjoyed this post! Now I have a clear path for if I ever get attacked by a whale :)
Good hypothesis! You could be correct.
I was impressed by the way most people interacted too!
