A newbies two cents
A newbies response to Papa-Pepper article here...

Awesome response yesterday @papa-pepper! I saw your post and @smooths response. I'm also very glad you wrote your article today. Being a newbie here I was really surprised by all the back biting that took place around the steemit community. I also didn't feel it was my place to weight in, as I don't have enough history or information to debate the situation.
But as a newbie I was not impressed at all by those who choose to rant on about a fellow steemian. Think how this looks to outsiders or people considering joining. I also thought if it was me being the whale, and I was acting in good conscience, I wouldn't like to be ganged up on. I will also confess, it would be hard to swallow a significant downvote. In the end, I believe we should respect one another, even if we disagree. I believe we can all learn from the conversation between @papa-pepper and @smooth.
Thanks so much for your awesome donation !! Its much apreciated , all this support has been very overwhelming and appreciated ! Thanks again! 👍❤💙👌
Your welcome @karenmckersie! You are an asset to Steemit!
Thanks ! You too ! 💙❤👍👌
Thanks for everything that you said here, and for sharing your perspective, it is valid!
Glad that you thought we interacted properly!
I'm a relative newbie here, too... and the whole infighting thing sortof took the shine of the initial appeal of Steemit. I've been part of writing/content communities before and that kind of infighting among early adopters can be the death knell for a community... and that would be a great shame.
Yeah, that's kinda my reaction as well, but I'm gonna steem on. Since Steemit is still in the Beta, or trial stage, I hope we can learn and get better. Time will tell. Thanks for your comment @denmarkguy.
