fear is largely founded in a belief that says you don't have the power to protect self and part of that is the power to ensure free expression. it is completely logical, therefore, that this results in a sense of slight fear regarding expression, given the observations made here. having said that, the flipside is that the members of the community who have learned to respect free expression over the enforcing of their own judgements and control agendas can also learn to unite to prevent the control grid that limits humanity in so many ways outside of steemit from reaching here too.
ultimately, the whitepaper for steemit makes clear that disagreements cannot be avoided, but the aim is to ensure that they do not become so problematic that people leave the platform in high numbers. This therefore requires a degree of teamwork to ensure the will of those involved is not being over-ridden or to ensure that those who are over-ridden do indeed leave in large numbers for somewhere that is more understanding of what real balance is.
