RE: The Twisted, Manipulative Mind-Fuck Of Steemit Trolls (And The Priceless Lessons They Bring)...

mmm... complex topic to tackle...

of course, there are always people with different maturity levels. perhaps a relaxation of enforcement of societal norms has lowered the barriers for many to be more vocal - and some of that may seem extreme. I wouldn't agree that it's anything that needs to be stopped, though - such people raising their voices might ruffle a few feathers, though really doesn't pose any threat. if anything it poses the opportunity to mature - perhaps in part, providing reflections to see where parts of ourselves need to evolve beyond what such voices reveal about where we're at, and then perhaps part as character tests of how we shall best respond to such people, who may be in need of a little assistance in their process of maturation.

and while the censorship-resistant piece might give some people the sense of free reign to make asses of themselves - the broader dynamic is conducive to the growth of a culture valuing respect, integrity, and cooperation. assholes can be vocal. but really, they just end up proving themselves to be assholes. and sooner or later, they're probably come to a realization that strategy doesn't work anymore - while providing others the contrastive example of what is and isn't the type of conduct one ought to aspire to as a member of the community.

or some shit. ha ha.
