@berniesanders,

As you know, your manner of comportment ... draws fire. You're brash, in-your-face and ever-confrontational. You will NEVER win (even last place) in a Personality Contest.

That said, you are often the ONLY Whale willing to do anything to push back against the endemic abuses that are crippling the blockchain ... a subject about which, I would wager, I am unequaled in terms of word-count. As a result, I have defended your "unorthodox actions" on a number of occasions when it was unpopular to do so.

But, mate ... sometimes you go too far ... and your recent pissing match with Cryptogee is one of those times. Cryptogee is a highly respected member of Steemit. He habitually creates excellent quality content and his insights are habitually intelligent, thought-provoking and well-articulated. Irrespective of what triggered this brawl, it needs to end.

@cryptogee, that goes for you too. Enough with the Diatribe to Dictators stuff. You've made your point and what would further ranting and raving accomplish?

Both of you ... just drop it.

STEEM is currently trading at $0.18 and has dropped to 82nd in terms of market cap. The blockchain's once-vaunted "Core of 50,000 Active Users" is down to 8,000. These ego-driven free-for-alls serve no purpose other than to alienate more people.

At 51, I expect I'm the oldest of the three of us, and frankly fellas, it shows. Gray hair and gravitas.

I would request that neither of you reply to this comment. Forgo the opportunity to get in the last word. Just stop swinging, walk in the other direction ... and if someone says something, blame it on me.
