It's sad that this happens, but it's common around the world - you will always find the minority who can only make themselves feel important by ridiculing and belittling others.

It makes me very sad to know people could treat you like this @cryptopie, for me the Steem Blockchain has always appealed to me because it has always celebrated and brought together people from around the world - and I would like to think that it will stay that way in the future.

One thing I do know is you have many, many friends here - and I for one have nothing but admiration for your strength and resolve - even facing the hardest adversity you continue to face the challenge of life full on and never give up. We can all learn something from you @cryptopie.
