I searched my entire blog page, and re-read all of the sentences I wrote you. Please copy/paste the words I used when I recommended you remove something.

The Steemit brand and logo are protected by intellectual property laws, including copyright and other proprietary rights of the United States and foreign countries.
..and it continues:
One may not make unauthorized commercial use of, reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute copies, perform, or publicly display the Steemit logo or brand, except as permitted by the doctrine of fair use or as authorized in writing by us.
So you may need to seek legal advice before using the Steemit logo or brand to be sure that you are indeed using it with the doctrine of fair use.
You could also get permission in writing from Steemit, Inc.
My suggestion is to avoid using the steemit brand or steemit logo completely to avoid possible lawsuits.
Yes, but it was written in the context of the rest of the article which stated:
If you follow the doctrine of fair use, and are "absolutely sure" you are not violating their intellectual property rights (I recommend consulting a lawyer)... then you can use it.
Fair use might include screenshots, depending on what you are using them for...
So before removing anything, or using it, it is important to know what fair use means....
But if someone hasn't spent the time to learn what fair use means... then yes...
My suggestion is to avoid using the steemit brand or steemit logo completely to avoid lawsuits.
To which it appears you thought I meant:
You can't say Steemit
You can't post screenshots
You must now always write steem(it)
I said none of those things. You jumped the gun and ran around the STEEM blockchain posting that I told you to do this, or do that..
Please just learn more about "fair use" and research this issue for yourself.

....right, at which point did I tell you to remove anything?
(and the steemit brand, is not just a word. A brand includes font, color, and logo, and when it is used in non-fair use cases)
You said ... My suggestion is to avoid using the steemit brand or steemit logo completely to avoid possible lawsuits.......
I had already used it so following your suggestion to avoid using it i had to remove it .................. does this make sense
