Interesting post, On the other hand though, I would say that conflict, heated debate and controversial topics are all things that create engagement, attract users and ultimately help the growth of Steem. I totally agree that we need to welcome all, however I disagree on the gambling/porn aspect. It's not that I'm not OK with it per se, just that I think it needs it's own browser, separate from the main Steemit site. This is because these 2 particular things can bring various problems along with them. I'd have a Steemporn and a Steembets site to keep things separate myself.
BTW, "Ginormous" is not a real word - the correct terminology is "Humongous".....lol
