I was trying to help him. It is obvious that he wasn't a threat to me, but I thought that he was a threat to himself and his brand-new Steemit account.
But you are right that it was not worth it to point it out to him. I wasted too much of my own time. I somehow have to better diagnose when people might actually appreciate my help. So many people can not accept constructive and helpful criticism.
Believe it or not, I even want to help people here on Steemit who do not agree with me on my favorite topics. I hate to see any account destroyed because of ignorance of the landscape here at Steemit. Steemit is not like Facebook, but new people don't always realize that.
Of course he was not a threat to you, but you proposed one to him.
Regardless, I do believe that you are acting in good faith for the most part, but that does not mean that I think you are correct. It was browbeating
I am just opposing that.
