Thanks both for the plug, and for the link back here.

Another aspect to this debate-- and to hopefully find equitable resolution-- is something I briefly alluded to in my post... namely, the invitation to all parties to take a few quiet moments to examine (in all seriousness) the question of "What does Steemit really MEAN to me? And what do I hope it will BECOME?"

I relate to your local organization story... I spent some years as president of the homeowner's association in the housing community where we used to live. The beginning of problem solving nearly always started with "Let's make sure everyone is actually thinking up solutions to the SAME problem" before discussions were opened... hereunder, identifiying goals and expectations, in service of being able to wrap appropriate context around each suggestion.

Here on Steemit, that would be establishing some kind of baseline of understanding that developers, blockchainiacs and bloggers (for example) probably bring very different perceptions of "What Steemit Is" to the table.
