Part of what made me want to be a part of Steemit and set up shop to create content here was precisely the idea that it is-- in a sense-- "owned" by its contributors. That being the case, it was (and remains) my hope that the bloggers and artists here will be good stewards of the place we are contributing to.

Like all "real" families, there will be squabbles now and then... but if we're all invested here to some degree, it just doesn't make sense that people would take actions to destroy the very thing they are putting their stake into. Notwithstanding that new projects always have a share of "opportunists" who just want their profit and cash out... the recent trend of posts filled with accusations rather than solutions is a little disturbing.

But so it goes... in the meantime, I'm all for trying to keep my corner of the "house" as clean as possible.
