RE: You cannot take away from the author that which does not belong to the author.

Heh... nope. I doubt it will be my next stop. Like I said I don't need this platform. I was pleased to see it. I saw it and asked how things were. I was told it was better than steemit. Which it is. Yet then I started seeing some of the same behaviors that hurt steemit here. @lucylin's account is the most blatant I have seen yet.

Everytime I wrote positive about how the down voting was not as bad as steemit someone would reply with an example. It wasn't until I watched that particular account that I was completely reminded of steemit.

I have one way to address it without spending a lot of money and in the process of spending that money making the people choosing this course of action much wealthier.

Words.

I know some will not like hearing them. What other choice do I have? Stick my proverbial tail between my legs and bow to those in power?

Not happening.

Though I will not go out of my way to attack specific people and treat them as though they might not be convinced that there are other ways to do things than by showing how big they are.

It could be like blowing into the wind and achieve nothing. What other recourse is there that is realistic?
