Very well said.
I'm new to the platform and was immediately concerned by issues like these. Though I'm happy to press on and give it a try I fear that it might put off potential new users and devalue the space.
Good luck in getting the response you both need and deserve. I hope it all works out. The honest people are rooting for your success!
Thanks so much! Continue to work on Steemit, continue in the right way, steemit can still have a great future.
Today I read an interesting thing, even @dan has moved against the abusers, this is a very important and could help to change things.
I also had concerns about this whale-thing and the war between some people here.
But to be honest, I just don´t care what they do. I read content, I comment, I create content....
That´s all.
And somehow it feels a lot better here then beeing on facebook :-)
Keep on, stay strong!
