RE: Dear Minnow, Steemit Whales Are Not Your Problem: An Open Letter

in #steem6 years ago

Thanks for your input. I'm glad to hear that you are so enthused about building the Steemit community.

On a related point, I'm not sure I'd agree with you about the post being "abrasive." I know @gandhibaba is always willing to speak out directly and forcefully, and the same goes for his above post.

Please don't interpret it as being "abrasive." Take it as if it's a pep talk from a fired-up coach, who wants to motivate and encourage those who need to hear such words.

Upon close reading, you will see that many of gandhibaba's points are valid, and even he admits that he's being blunt. And as for being "abrasive," I've seen him get that way only when dealing with certain power-crazed whales. When it comes to minnows, he's generally very supportive, generous, and helpful.

Cheers!

Yes, indeed I am fine with a good kick in the pants motivator. And am generally quite blunt myself. Perhaps abrasive was a bit presumptuous of me as I didn't take it that way personally.

All this eip talk has many knickers in a bunch and quick to get defensive.

The points are valid and the message is well received..

Cheers and thanks for the thoughtful response..
