It's great that other do take an interest in growing the platform.
For me personally, I just want to write content, and make a buck!
(and I would wager I'm not the only one)
I took 10 days off out of sheer frustration of steemit, to be honest.
I am now giving it another go, writing some fiction - and then I came across the whole michelle gent/sanders/transito wars!
I hope thing settle down, so we can create, and debate.
