Hi pilcrow, by posting this event and reporting it for help, I found others already working on behalf of newbies and victims, I have already been able to address this issue. I am hopeful the actions taken against me will be reversed. It appears as though another problem I was unaware of, may have triggered actions against me, on the assumption I was part of that problem. As to my comment you copied into your comment, I am not alone in this belief. Standing down to bullying is NOT an option. When you stand down against a bully, you give the bully power. That would destroy steemit.
