Thank you for extending the Olive branch. I have always respected the work you have done to point out plagiarism but have always felt you were too militant in doing so. It seems to have had the effect of driving potentially good artists away from the platform.
When many people start in the world of art copying is a very legitimate way to learn. Of course, I agree that there should be a sourced reference if it is done like this but this is also part of the learning process.
There will be those who are just plagiarists trying to make a quick buck but I think that with the kind of work you do it needs a certain diplomacy which you don't seem to have and this is what has caused much of the push-back from the community and I am glad that @midlet is trying to mediate.
I accidentally voted a post which you later found to be dubious and then you seemed to want to start an argument with me over my vote (I had also resteemed to post). This kind of behavior will win you no supporters on your mission.
I do hope you continue the work you do but I do think you need to tone it down and give more benefits of the doubt till people prove themselves to be irredeemable. I think we are all in this together and everyone has a part to play in policing the blockchain. Sometimes a caution is all that is required.
These are just my two cents on the matter.
