Happy to do it, Jerry. It's clear to anyone who takes a little time to look at you that you work very hard. You're too well known to make everyone happy all of the time, but I'm convinced of your honesty and intentions and will continue to defend you on those points when it comes up.

Unfortunately, since you are willing to be pretty honest about your thoughts, you end up taking some heat. Ironically, probably from people who have had those exact thoughts, but like to virtue-signal to the greater group that they have not.

For example, we all noticed that you could just self-vote yourself a bunch of money here each day, and most of us probably considered that as a "pro" for investing in Steem, if not as a main strategy at least as a "worst-case scenario". However, I still see people attack you for your early post on self-upvoting, despite you were just laying out the facts, as-is.

Kill the messenger, and all that.
