You are just a great person and steemian. I love this:
Instead of treading on them and nuking them offhand, or writing to them as if they are stupid or worthy of abuse, I try to explain why what they are doing isn't going to work, and how to improve in a way that will show actual rewards. While I can't fix or influence everyone, for some, it's the first steps on the path to contributing positively to the chain and being kinder to others themselves.
I am following your lead! Just continue to be the excellent "you"!
Your presence on the platform is as your namesake~ keep on loving. <3
