Newbie Alert! Avoid Steemit Drama like the Plague
Recently I saw someone higher in steem power then myself get involved in a conflict between two other Steemians who were very high up in the higher echeolons of the Steemit Ecosystem, what I call Steemit Royalty.
This person was down voted into oblivion. 
So I thought I would write this post to warn my followers about getting involved in other peoples conflicts.
I will be brief, these people are like high voltage powerlines, you touch them you die.
For those of you who need more detailed reasons to keep out of other peoples conflicts, there's a nice post by @jrswab called "4 Reasons To Avoid Steemit Drama" which is almost a year old, but has a timeless quality to it.
It is here: https://steemit.com/education/@jrswab/4-reasons-to-avoid-steem-drama.
I can save you some time and quote the article's main points:
- Risk Of Enormous Downvotes.
- Formation Of Enemies.
- Loss Of Productivity & Focus.
- Underachievement.
I have a suggestion for people who are new and possibly for some who are not so new:
Put your full effort into creating the best content we can for the Steemit community.
That is how we keep Steemit amazing and bringing in new creators.
I love how you used the image of a man under a foot to further explain your point. I learned early on to not get involved in flag wars. It only hurts you in the long run. Any conflict requires energy and that energy can be put to better use.
Thanks, I was hoping to make it clear how mismatched people are in some of these flag wars.
Plus I agree your time and energy should be devoted to your success on the platform.
Like @rentmoney said you picked good images. lol
Thanks, I wanted to convey a sense of both fear and futility.

Exactly, it's not much of a " war " when one side can destroy the other with relative ease. It's best just to stay away from flag wars.
Nice one.
But I would like to believe there are Popular whales around, not so aggressive and with ears that listen. Coz I have been supported by a few dolphins, better people than I am.
Keep Steemin
Thanks for reading my article and I am glad you liked it.
