If I were "calling out minnows," I'd also be calling out myself, FWIW.
What I'm calling out are the pervasive voices of many who come here, post a couple of dozen times and then start to look for "someone to blame" when there's not $100's rolling in from their posts.
I'm calling out all the people who thought it was "a good idea" to go all over the place and tell people to "Come to Steemit!" while using Jeff Berwick's now infamous $30,000 post as a "fishing lure." That's as dumb/misleading as pointing at Bill Gates' billions as a good reason why you should work for Microsoft.
Is Ned up to some sketchy things? Who knows... Is he serving his own interests? Hells to the yeah. Is he going to act in a way to render his stake worth zero? Not unless he's clinically insane, I'm going to guess. Am I an apologist for Ned? Nope. I just remember back when I worked at Dell, Michael (Dell) got blamed for everything from a broken coffeemaker to faulty code...was that a "right" thing? Not really... but perhaps the basics of human nature.
