Maybe "NEVER" was not the appropriate word to use. I will change it and say most of the cases.
Steemit is a relatively small community but it's big at the same time, so it's highly possible for me not to stumble upon your comments or the comments of people like you and me who say what they think.

No worries. I have the bad habit of using 'never' where 'rarely' would be more proper and I'm trying to stop myself from doing it, so when I see it, I notice. When I notice, I must say something.
There I go again! LOL
Anyway... I'm happy to meet another outspoken person. These people are the ones that will challenge me and make me THINK! Being smug with the knowledge (or perceived knowledge) that everyone agrees with you is a great feeling, but it actually stifles growth because you just coast along with your current mindset and have no reason to even consider any other possibility. When someone challenges your ideas, you actually need to contemplate the reasons for your belief and in order to defend them, you need to consider and understand what the other person is saying. This might lead to altering your belief or at least learning something new about the views of others. To me, this is what growth is all about.
I couldn't agree more. You state it so well that I will save it for future use!😎
Thanks! What an honour. I feel like a celebrity now. Someone actually wants to save my comments. This is the real pay-back from a social media platform. I feel like I actually contributed something useful. Thanks again.
