Hello,
Thank you kindly. I certainly didn't mean for my comment to sound like a troll as this is one of the very reasons I want Steemit to succeed. It's to cut down on people being douchebags and trolling like it's commendable or worthwhile.
Thanks for being understanding.
Also, I noticed that you didn't follow anyone yet. If you click on a user's name there will be an option to follow them or mute them. Then when you go to your personal page you can check your feed to see the new posts of those you follow.
Wish you nothing but the best.
Cheers
