RE: "Achilles or Hector?" ... Plus a 2,000 SP Delegation to the Power House Creatives

Here you go again ... this is some of your best my friend :) I was on the peripheral during the contest, did what I could, but really saw the effort of all, and the incredible generosity of many. Truly a testament to what is possible on this platform!

@lynncoyle1,

There you are. This was a long and laborious one and I was thinking, "If Lynn doesn't drop in here, I'm going to be pissed."

Yeah, I know, I'm "high maintenance." Don't care.

... Truly a testament to what is possible on this platform!

Ah, and that's what kills me. The potential of this place is MASSIVE ... if we could just get it to work like it was designed to work. Everyone knows what the problems are, the solutions are easy to understand and implement ... and yet ... it remains the Same Ol' Same Ol.'

Just stop the cheating and it would set off a dozen positive feedback loops.

I Swear Whales ... one of these days, I'm going to get so pissed off that I'll assemble a group of programmers, purloin STEEM/Steemit's code and build a competing blockchain. It will have simple, common sense Rules of Conduct and a mechanism for their enforcement. No cheating allowed. If you want to make money ... you create and/or curate High Quality Content.

And do you know what I'll call it?

"Merit"

And, if I get Lynn to go with me ... Steemit's dead ... she's this blockchain's "Homecoming Queen" ... the most eye-rollingly "Likable" person there is.

Merit!!! I love it. Too bad it wasn't called "Life"... that is, if life was really like that. No cheating. Hmmm...such a nice idea!

the most eye-rollingly "Likable" person there is.

You know the way to my heart...and the way to guarantee I continue to support your posts haha
