"Bad wolfy! No!" lol. Like with dogs you reward the behavior you want to see more of and promote what you love instead of bashing what you hate, I get that. And I agree with the non-aggression principle and in peaceful non-violent resolution so I see where you are coming from.
Steemit is essentially like practicing anarchy where there are no moderators to do anything, the community handles it. Steemit is like the world on a smaller scale and perpetuating war is obviously not good for anyone. But that is not how I view FTG's mission at all. It is the right of users to flag what they deem inappropriate to the community, (especially after peaceful resolution was tried) we are collectively the moderators afterall. If someone doesnt say or do something about it (doesn't need to be seen as offensive/violent) then greedy people will continue to ruin & exploit the community as a whole. And I think an example needs to be set.
That being said I do not see the difference in opinion as justification for this abandonment by you. I will still howl for you and value our friendship and all you have done to enhance my experience here though <3
