I love how your post basically boils down to a wonderful guide on how to handle free speech. Free speech in an overly individualistic era often degrades into a "right to insult". On the other hand, freely speaking your mind without the intent to insult can still sometimes result in insulting people who are frozen rigid in a certain worldview or idealism, or have customs you are unfamiliar with; intent has a lot to do with communication between truly free people, as well as understanding and empathy.

And that's what I see in your words. The blockchain is free. Steemians are free. And it's up to us to shape that freedom. Not with rules, as you say, but with guidelines (rules and laws don't work on sentient beings anyway) as to how healthy debate can lead to better and deeper understanding of each other and each other's opinions.

But... the most valuable gems in this depositry of wisdom are: "commentatosators" and "this is a big butt but"! This makes you a great teacher. You're just you and don't teach "with a mission to convert".

Thanks for a great post and some good Steem - and life-lessons! <3 :-)

(and for translating! but that I'll repeat on the other side... It's just so sweet of you to do, that it couldn't hurt repeating. twice. in two different posts. it's that sweet...)
