A look through my blog will show that I care about what happens on this platform. In saying what I did, I was trying to say that we shouldn't just highlight individual abuses when we have an axe to grind against that particular person or as a proxy for our dislike of someone else but should look at the abuse taking place on the platform as a whole, as well as our own behaviour.
I get your point, and these are inherent flaws If the platform. But If you see something that is definetly unfair with others membros of the community, dont you think some action should bem taken for the good of the community?
It is a philosohical matter, and both position lead to different resulta, but think about this:
In the past, there were several rules that were unfair(apartheid as an example) do you think things would improve If no one standed up to solve those system issues?
I definitely do. If you would like a better understanding of my position and views, you can read this little post I wrote last week.

As with the real world though, no-one wants to be the first to stand up for fear that no-one else will have their backs so we all keep our mouths shut and let society go to shit around us. :(
