I might just do it anyway, just to really test just how dedicated Steemit really are to free speech and expression

Steemit is small right now and any such "prove a point" tests will probably not be beneficial to steemit or the community right now.

There are myriad pitfalls before us and we dodge most of them by crossing bridges only when we have to. We presently lack the bandwidth to cross all the bridges simultaneously. Save the extra headaches for us for such time we are larger, please. :)

PS: When in doubt, assume good faith.
