Yes, the internet tends to strip people of their common sense and civility sometimes. Steemit is very different though, at least until very recently, in that people who get it and do well here are usually conducting themselves using their best behaviour. The authors that last give more than they take from the platform.

Only recently have we seen more people who appear to be trying to take and give very little. I believe though that in time they will come to realise their tactics will not give them the rewards they thought they would and they will eventually lose interest.

Like you said;

Thinking is hard.

Thanks for the Oscar Wilde quote. It is something to think about.
