A gift? Really?!!!!
It was not a marketing strategy to get us all here so that they can keep us under their thumb?
How stupid of me to think otherwise!

Keep us under their thumb? You're free to leave any time you want.
I should imagine you are bright enough to have understood I was saying that if this had not been offered, if everyone had to start from zero again, not many would have come. So, yes, it was a marketing exercise, so as to ensure the success of this platform.
As for keeping us under 'their thumb', I obviously was not alluding to you, since I have never even seen your name (nik) before. I was speaking of certain of the strong posters who flagged because they did not agree with my political views - and I am sorry, but I am too cynical to believe they will suddenly become 'nice' people.
As for me being free to leave any time I want - isn't it also the same for you and everyone else? But then...the same is true for everyone at Steemit - so does that prove those in control there are nice people and so we should have stayed?
I was being sarcastic but it is obvious any kind of criticism upsets you and so you react...as you did, telling me I am free to leave. Why, thank you kind sir, so generous of you. If and when I feel like it, I will, with or without your permission.
