They are adults behaving like kids ;)
No I haven't read it. I'm done with steemit so not willing to invest much more energy, thoughts, time here, sorry.
Best of luck!!! Sure you will be doing great 👊

Yip, I am taking a break but don´t know if/when I will be back. Currently I am powering down.
There are too many negative people around here, and to me steemit has lost great part of its fun character lately. I´m tired of it.
My very last article tried to explain my decision just in case you wanna read it :)
But that´s my single point of view / opinion. There may be still a lot of users enjoying their time here. Active user numbers are not increasing currently. But maybe the marketing efforts will bring the big revolution...

Marly, just leave it at "when". You will be back before you leave but checking your comment about quitting smoking from like 6 months ago; you have that will power, so let's leave it at "when". You will be back!

Thank you Terry, that's cute.
But I need my (will) power for other projects now.... and for surfing of course ;-) Have a good time!

Hahaha, surfing ofcourse. I wish to get to that point of life adventures. I have not had any leisure in like 2 years straight and all the islands are here and people come here from all over the world. Hopeful, i get a small break to relax soon!

Thanks for taking the time to share this experiences with us here. People like the one you described find amusement in their doings. They need the reaction to stay alive. That's what I criticized here on steemit. Many people wrote articles about people who started attacking them. Why? Why giving them any stage? I remember that I informed the famous abuse channel about somebody flagging some time ago. You know what reaction I got from there: none.
That's why I am leaving basically. It's Ok that people don't understand that they can't fight a troll by reacting on him and giving him an even wider stage, writing about him, complaining, talking about him.... But I definitely can't understand why the ones that supposedly dominate this platform in a positive sense don't create a place where to seriously help the attacked people. Well that's not correct. I somehow understand it. It's because they just don't care ;-)
The motivation of the troll is secondary. It's the way of dealing with these creatures that counts. On steemit they have found the perfect place to be.
