I understand. I just feel that there's a big difference between asking for something in your own blog post, compared to spamming a copy/paste message on 100+ articles without reading it, or linking your article uninvited in private messages.
My point is that dont offend the newbies..they will make mistakes and learn on their own over time.
Steemit is barely 180k users right now.
These kind of articles could still be OK at 1 Million users and with a softer tone.. and probably should go in the "Steemit Help" section under the subheading "Do's and Don'ts"
It is indeed good for a help section, though I doubt many people would read it.
Most members write these posts not to offend, but to educate. I don't think all have a bad tone, some really are written very lightly and seem very helpful. Not saying mine is light perse, I know my opinion can shine through quite clearly sometimes.
I think those who don't care, or don't want to hear it, won't click the article. Those who want to learn will. And the people who want to learn will probably not feel offended that quickly.
Anyway, don't worry, for the most part, I'm sticking with my usual cheery articles about photography, games and food! Sometimes I just have to take a little detour to write about what's been bothering me :-)

Good !
That was a great discussion in the end, both of us keeping our point.. going to the edge and still not offending each other :)
Have a nice day.
Definitely! You have a great day aswell :-)
