I must truly appreciate you @Quillfire for this tag and the courage to air out your views about the on-going 20k delegation poll by @Theycallmedan. I hope, you, the entire @Steemitbloggers community and the entire #steem users would find time to read through this response:

• Winning the 20k delegation poll is not a do or die affair for @Steemchurch. We are enjoying the fun of the process. Reason is that over the past 1 year of her existence, @Steemchurch and curators share love through upvotes to an average of 70 #steem users daily , yet, NONE OF THESE USERS ARE REQUESTED TO DO ANYTHING OR SEND STEEM TO QUALIFY FOR SUCH CURATION which do amount to 1.2 SBD on the average on a daily basis for each user. We (including) myself do not know who made such investment which affords us so much love curation. From my research, @Steemchurch and curators give daily upvotes that's worth 80-100 SBD daily for posts made across tags on #steem.
• My long analogy above is to emphasize that @steemchurch interest in the dpoll is for us much of fun and to further tell the entire #steem community that we share love and promote freedom. With or without the delegation, our curation of love for users will remain intact.
• You had also tagged a post I made yesterday to caution voters. Thank you again. Like you excerpted, @Steemchurch will not wish to compromise her values just to win a 20k delegation. Our leader @sirknight has a high reputation on the #steem blockchain and you will so confirm that.
• Being a poll open to everyone, I think @Theycallmedan only gave for criteria which are filter parameters for the poll. Outside that, I do not see why any #steem user do not have the liberty to support any community on a poll for just 20 out of the many communities on #steem. It might interest you to know that I supported @steemitbloggers in the last poll that you emerged 2nd and did well rejoice with such feat you had. Yet, I had no affiliations with you neither, had no knowledge of what you do and did I get anything in response.
• @Steemchurch is a mother community that has birthed many viable communities on the #steem blockchain and has a great pool of members in Nigeria, Ghana and Venesuela. Beyond upvotes, non-users of the blockchain have enjoyed the values of @steemchurch. Visit #steemchurch #sc-v #sc-n #sc-g #farms for yourself.
• Let me say in STRONG TERMS that @crypto.piotr choosing to support @Steemchurch is simply a personal decision. It is obtainable anywhere that someone may wish to let-go his ambition for another's if they win his/her interest or trust. I am not privy to the communication that ensued between your leaders and @crypto.piotr, yet, his support for @steemchurch is is personal decision and a support for the LOFTY GOALS that @steemchurch represents.

I would advice that you do your best to win the heart of #steem users to vote for your community and dissuade from attacking the character of others. I will be glad to have you share your purported screenshots.

Fro me, #steem is a family, whether @steemchurch or @steemitbloggers earn 20k delegation, it is for the good of #steem users in as much as it would be used judiciously for the growth of the system.

In all, The arms of @steemchurch are wide open to accept every #steem users (even you and @steemitbloggers members), to share our love and freedom NOW and after the polls.

Thank you.

Yours in the fight for Freedom via #steem blockchain,
