"I don’t think Steemit is ready for what I was doing" isn't an apology, it's an arrogation of the cause of righteousness to yourself over all others. Which is what was wrong with the idea of the list in the first place.
This isn't a conflict about you rolling things out badly, it's a conflict about your fundamental approach.
It was a justification, not an apology.
An apology goes like this:
I realize my actions could have harmed others, and that I overstepped my self-appointed authority. Upon reflection, I regret my actions.
The End.
I tend to stay away and not engage in conflict. If I didn't then I would have engaged in the fowl mouthed behavior seen yesterday by others . Difference of opinion maybe.
Your entire approach is to make up rules for users here and demand that other people follow them. You are 100% about conflict.
Agree.
