First, his comments are often defamatory, and have on occasion descended to sexual harassment and threats of violence that are probably both actionable in civil court, and criminally. Second, his virulence is extraordinarily public, and many people feel his actions so degrade the public image of Steem that he personally reduces the price of Steem by discouraging adoption and use of Steem by the potential market.
Lastly, he isn't very personable, and I don't like him. Since what of his comments to me that can be understood are pretty much limited to threats, he's literally menacing. That seems to be the extent of his personality. The only positive initiative I am aware of that he was involved in was @themadcurator, which I attempted to defend when the flagwar I am now embroiled in began between he and FTG.
This is the result of having anything to do with @berniesanders, even when attempting to encourage him to positively impact Steem. That's about as much thought and effort as I'm willing to provide, unless you have specific questions I can answer.
@lindsaybowes has far more personal experience than I, and her comment is exemplary of what I have but a wee grasp of. Her blog demonstrates her sound character, and while we have disparate interests, I found it such a good example that I am now a follower.

"That's about as much thought and effort as I'm willing to provide..."
It seemed a solid elaboration to me. I appreciate it.
I even get the bonus of what unfolds below to help sate my curiosity.
