Dear @gtg
Thank you for your amazing comment. I really appreciate and value your reply. Obviously I see few things differently and let's start with this one:
It's so disappointing that people still can't get it.
Why is it disappotining that people are still learning and discussing such a topics? If everyone will already "get it" then we can assume that there is not enough "fresh blood" :)
Let's see those kind of discussions as a great opportunity so people like yourself can share their knowledge.
Steemit is not Steem.
Obviously.
Nobody can stop you from posting on Steem. Nobody can stop you from reading Steem posts.
Ehm seriously? So how to do it if you're just a regular user and you would like to read post that is marked as "banned" and not being shown on Steemit?
The fact that records are somewhere out there on STEEM blockchain and people with skills could "get to it" means very little for "regular joe". Wouldn't you agree?
If nodes are limiting you, you are free to start your own.
My dear @gtg. It's clear to me that you do not understand how things are being perceived by "normal" users :) This advice is just making me ... well, smile. it did make me smile.
Yours
Piotr
