This is a very important point to remember. Thank you @fulltimegeek
"We can flag shitposts without insulting the content creator. These people are human man"
In our eagerness to remove negative behaviours, we mustn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Hopefully some flags with a few bits of encouragement can turn a few of these people around. I remember someone once said something about hating the sin and loving the sinner :)
I think Steemit made a change b/c your comment didn't show up in my replies. They might be filtering negative rep ... sigh ... dang it ... I saw this on Steemd. Hopefully, it's just a glitch.
Thanks @fulltimegeek, I have had a few people say that recently. And I've had this negative rep for a while now and most just had to click through to see the comment.
Maybe I will just have to bite the bullet and use a vote bot a few times.
Thanks for all your support!
