I appreciate your genuine and thoughtful comment. This is what I love about Steemit, and you'll see as you're here for a while, that people can disagree, but ultimately work out their differences and help each other learn. I can see how the treeplanter comment looked kind of spammy, it has a graphic that's a little too large for a comment, but the concept of the bot is very cool. You can only upvote others with it, and every $1 pays for planting a tree! It's an easy mistake to make thinking it to be spam.


Your other comments didn't sit well with me and I probably should have voiced my opinion rather than flag you, but honestly I had a shit morning and was cranky. Your comment about Obama and Trump rubbed me the wrong way and here's why..
Americans have never been free. None of us truly have. We appear to be spoiled mindless consumerists and many believe that it's the fault of the government. It's not. We let ourselves be brainwashed into thinking this way. Steemit community proves that to me. When we the people of the world control the creation and distrubution of money, it changes our focus from trying to grab the most money for ourselves and encourages us to help others. Maybe not all of us have quite come that realization yet, there are certainly some here on steemit that only want the most money. But with time that may change.


There are certainly some "steemit etiquette" things that nobody really talks about when you sign up. One of those is telling someone how or what to vote for. Your other comment about how she should vote more was I believe well intended, but it might have been better left unsaid. She is a busy mom transitioning to a new home after a tough time in her life. She makes time to write and her posts are always top notch, but that may be all she has time for in a day on steemit. I spend roughly 8 hours a day on steemit. Either writing my own posts, responding to comments, upvoting good content, curating, etc. But I have that luxury. She doesn't. So that's why I flagged those comments.


I felt I owed you an explanation after your sincere apologies, which I of course accept and I hope there's no hard feelings. I do offer a fun contest on my blog everyday that I encourage you to participate in. It's a random challenge everyday, sometimes easy like today is share your favorite song and tell what it means to you. Sometimes they're harder, but it might be a good way for you to practice english more. Even though your english is actually very good, I understood you fine. 😀


And smoke on my friend! I love both the pictures you posted, but the ganja flower is my favorite. So pretty. 😍
