I fear this is really hurting the community and deterring new users from continuing to use the platform. If there is any basis for which common ground can be established and this hostility put behind us, please find a way to achieve it.

I see great things in the future for Steemit, but first we must show the world that we're better than what else is on offer by being mature enough to overcome our differences band together for the sake of all in the community, and all that might one day be lucky enough to join it.
