Welcome @geocurt its nice to see a fellow miner here, its a great hobby/addiction. You learn to get thick skin and not worry so much about the small stuff people argue about on steemit. Just keep posting good content or curate content you enjoy and ignore any negativity. It took me a while to not get pissed over certain things but I eventually learned to chill. Occasionally I rant, but try to remind myself to look at the bigger picture and enjoy the platform and the numerous amazing people here on steemit.
