It's sad to see anyone driven away from steemit. Perhaps your friend haejin will reconsider his use of flagging as a bullying tactic. I agree Bernie has his issues too and I disagree with some of his actions, but I have no influence over him either. I want to see Steemit succeed, but I fear greed and conflict could destroy it.
Update: Bernie has threatened me too. Seems nobody is safe in this war...
