Well I was going to mention informationwar tag and group, I see that Hive account@truthforce has already found your post and welcomed you. The other was going to be that I found your post because of a resteem the Hive account@mudcat36 did, he is one of the original founders of the newbieresteemday initiative, but once again I see that you have been found and already welcomed. So Welcome to Steemit.
         My wife signed me up for a couple of the other social sites several years ago, I never did anything with them because I just did not like them. Steemit, I like. People have to be real here. If not people flag you to the pits of oblivion. People that flag for differing opinions are the one that get flagged to oblivion. You can't just flag someone because you did not like the truth they told. There is room for all sides on steemit. If you don't like someone's opinion, don't take offense and flag, just mute them and move on. It's a strange place at times-steemit-that is. but so much fun, and so educational.
