I've seen some of those folks act in unappreciative ways. Some do only care about themselves and some even try to pretend they don't. Many people here are well aware of that. It's no secret. People don't have to be afraid of them either. You do not see this post getting censored; erased from the platform. What you do see is what a lot of people believe and if they really wanted to or needed to, they could turn up the volume.

It would be difficult for one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch, here.

It has proven to be quite easy for one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch over on Steem. Good luck attempting to offer constructive criticism over there. Even the steemworld guy got censored so now he knows not to step out of line. Penguinpablo's stats were censored; wiped from view. Those were only facts. Accounts have been frozen. One bad apple.

There are plenty of good people here. I have a strong feeling if the bad ones try to mess this up, they will lose everything faster than they found it.

Your concerns are valid. I'm well aware of the risk. I didn't exactly jump on the hype train. It took a lot for me to come here. And I didn't come with the patience I once had. Probably grew a few more important brain cells as well.

I appreciate your honesty.
