I totally agree with you, the only way out of this toxic atmosphere is sincere communication, as mentioned in @mindwheeel comment.
I am amazed by the amount of talented people here in Steemit, who could constitute an invaluable resource to boost the success of this platform if they are given the chance to participate regardless of their power.
Using a reign of terror strategy against highly intellectual people is definitely wrong.
Thank you for your comment @stellabelle it’s always appreciated!
