You're absolutely correct. It definitely isn't only steemit but facebook, twitter, and all other social medias. It's one of those things that really can't be controlled. Maybe if there was a way to report the accounts that are abusive? Hopefully this will be brought to the attention of STEEMIT. This definitely needs to be addressed, not only here, but other sites as well. We are all supposed to be adults and unfortunately, some can't behave like one. I have to say, it is quite embarrassing to educate grown adults to be respectful of one another.
