You said "But now that I know how easily it is to leverage power and abuse people...I probably wont." I believe this is exactly their purpose, to try and poison the environment -Paid trollers is a real thing(think who would have an agenda to try and scare people away from Steem? lots of guesses come to mind-aka competition). @interwovenfarm, Be true to yourself and share your ideas... Dont let the bad guys ruin it for you (and then anyone else who might want to hear what you have to say)...
