You're right, too often we forget that first of all Steemit Inc. is a professional company, but I think communication should never be missing, before blocking you have to explain why and if the user insists to offend the brand then it's right to ban the post.
However I agree with you that we need to have more respect for Steemit Inc and absolutely we need to support it to make it better.
Yours is not genuflection or submission, on the contrary it is a behavior that should be taken as an example, because when you are wrong even if unknowingly, it is right to put things right.
Thank you for your answer because it was enlightening for me too and yes, I would talk about it in our community to make it more responsible on this issue.
The more I get to know you, the more my esteem for you increases. (Hoping not to have made too many grammatical errors.😁)
