Thank you!
This post really doesnt say enough, and it also says SOOOO much.

@phelimint is giving:

• ~500 Steem (300+ '150 to 200' from powerdown)
• A 1000SP delegation
• And a daily Gold Tier upvote
  to a bot that is .....in all intents and purposes against and for the purpose of replacing STAX.
  AND, these gifts are to a bot that is owned/controlled by a single individual that bullied and slandered Phil.

This can only speak one thing:

Phil is doing this because he truly does care about the steemsilvergold community and wants to offer peace and move forward and past this.

Maybe expectations and 'understandings' were not what everyone thought...ON BOTH SIDES of this. And yes, the community is moving past this. And the steem silver and gold community is truly an amazing one on Steemit. But two key and influential members could have handled themselves 10X better than they did. And one up and comming member has done an equal wrong by so quickly jumping on sides and throwing his weight around. It is such a shame that more community members have not called these three out on their lack of community-minded-behaviour.

Look. Only one member has spoken up correctly to the work and trouble and 'risk' and hassle that it is to run a bot. And for all that I know, aside from perhaps the top 3 or 4 or 5 donors, this bot has returned 3x and 5x and 10x to each and every ssg community member. If these top 3 or 4 or five are focused only on an ROI and are not focused on the community.... Well, that is a different problem. If they are jealous because the one doing most of the hard work running a bot is being setup to be rewarded for that work some time down the road.... Well, jealously is an ugly monster.

To my knowledge..... On a Steem per Steem basis, every beneficiary of STAX upvotes has earned a positive ROI. Perhaps a rare member, that doesnt post often, put in more than he got back. But as a whole, and as a community, EVERYONE WAS CARED FOR AND CARED FOR WELL.

So you(speaking to 2-5 members here) didnt like that Phil was getting a personal upvote!? Just speak to him on discord and work it out. So you want your initial donation back?? Ask it. Why did you have to divide the community and bully and speak vulgarity and attack someone THAT HAS done so much good for this ssg community??? This all could have been handled politely. And cordially. And appropriately. :-(
