Having read this entire post and thread I've learned a few things... Steemit has come a long way in a short time. Business and friendships often sour which is something I've learned personally. Both parties seem to have valid points. Both parties seemed to have lost a lot. The point made about Steemits best benefit is access to a free blockchain where ideas and content can be posted and shared permenantly seems to be its greatest asset. Flagging of posts is easy to manipulate and can be described as censorship so this will be an area that custodians of Steemit need to work on and manage carefully. Overall i wish all of you guys the best of luck!
