Here let me help you with the never seeing it out of hand part:
I have loads of screenshots of people bullying and abusing others. It's appalling. Free speech is one thing, the chat there is outright hostility if you are not a part of the multiple factions there.
This doesn't really say much.. Someone verbally attacked you... this is quite obviously mid conversation and doesn't show anything leading to this screenshot so it's not going to change my opinion or thoughts on the chat room. I am in there quite often and respected users like @steemitqa and me are usually poking around, keeping an eye out on steemit chat abuse such as this.
I am quite interested at how this seems to be directly aimed at @venuspcs and nobody else... I have had my immature moments as well, quite a bit actually.... why hasn't anybody presented any screenshots of me or the other regulars.
Maybe everyone should reconsider this post and think about the fact that a few notable accounts have gone out of their way to smear a particular user actively contributing on a regular basis. Before you look at someone negative, really take a look around you and consider who is encouraging you to do so. #nobodysperfect
Also, take a look at our project... #nobodysperfect
We all have our moments... don't be stupid, be a community... be a neighbor.. Help, not hate
Actually, I was involved in no conversation with him until that point.
so...
I think the issues have been resolved bud, I'm sorry you had a bad experience.. the chat room is very responsible and does not promote bullying that you experienced.. if anything I can promise you that won't happen again
