All in the name of satire, friend. As I've said before - I'm no model of innocence lol.

so this is a call out for more douchebaggery on steemit? it keeps the place engaging

sigh - well, it's like this. When you become a popular person anywhere you involuntary set a precedent. People follow your actions, your words or anything you do. You become a leader by example completely by default. It's a responsibility, and occasionally a burden. If you set up a hate campaign, people follow that.

As a popular person you're expected to set some sort of standard, and as for being well known on the internet you're put under the microscope, you get hate, people scutinise your very being, or they troll you - it's all part of the game.

But what I don't expect is to have to put up with it from my popularity peers, and have them completely unchallenged for their behaviour. So perhaps this post was digging my oar in a bit - but don't worry. Normal service will resume today!

Back to positivity and happiness et al :)
