Ironically, being flagged by grumpycat could turn out to be the best thing that will happen to you on Steem, at least as far as future earnings go! More than a few people who also were "winners" of his (or her?) flag went on to write posts about it very similar to yours which ended up getting a lot of attention and bringing in significant rewards.
I, for one, hope that the same thing happens in your case. You're clearly a great writer, which is unfortunately quite rare around here, and as a community we should do everything we can to encourage great writing. And not only the writing, but actually taking the time to proofread your posts is really important in my opinion.
Maybe it's just me but I cringe probably 10 times per post on average with all of the basic grammatical and spelling errors! Anyway, I hope this incident ends up working to your advantage - you have my vote for what it's worth!
It's true – I'm floored and deeply humbled by this incredible flood of support. Expressing my frustration was cathartic and felt necessary, but I certainly didn't expect this response.
It truly has turned out to be a sincerely good thing. This comment thread alone is enough to convince me that there is more good here than bad – that speaking up was warranted and wise – that my contributions here are valued and worth offering. I'm not goin' anywhere.
And I can't tell you how glad I am to know that I'm not the only one who cringes on the regular. What the hell, people – will it kill you to proofread?! Then again – like a barb, permanently embedded in my brain, my older sister's words will forever haunt me. She told me once that I have an overactive internal editor. I still haven't decided if she was being sisterly mean or just a bit tactless. At any rate, she might've been right.
Super grateful for your support. If you happen to see future posts – I promise they'll be at least 99.99% free of typos. ;)
Cheers! (ps – you've also got my vote. Thanks for bein' such an awesome witness.)
Hello again @yabapmatt. I’m attempting to ping you here as my DM in Discord likely got buried beneath dozens of others. • I’d love to chat with you about the new Diplomacy initiative I’ve launched, as both an entity here on Steemit (@theziplomat) and its related Discord. • I’ve already got the support of several other witnesses (@aggroed, @ausbitbank, @teamsteem & @crimsonclad) and suspect it’s something you’d also appreciate. 🙏🏼 Hope to hear from you or see you over there!
