yeah, the presence of arse holes will never be eliminated, but the unfortunate thing in steem, which is probably unique to the platform - is that many won't speak up out of fear of retribution. You never have that issue on any other site. And the fact that people can literally profit directly from the vileness of their posts.

Despite this, there are people that speak up regardless - which is admirable, albeit futile. This is how I discovered @riskdebonair

To be honest I don't really think it takes more effort to appreciate other people that are of different backgrounds, cultures, etc. At the very least, the neutral stance should be to just let people be - There's many aspects of religions and cultures that I don't agree with or don't understand, but I largely leave those to do their thing
