RE: It is okay as long as I am the one doing it...
I am not an advocate for such results. I will try to use my words and reason to my dying breath unless my life is at risk.
This is why I work on blockchains. All blockchains can hold are words—words in posts and comments, words that represent payments, words that can change the world. To me, they are the ultimate tool for enabling and protecting the kind of productive discourse you describe.
Correct... now if my life is at risk then I will defend myself by whatever means necessary. This goes for my family as well. I am also often a sucker for defending people who are incapable of defending themselves.
There are some people using steemit that were in the right place at the right time and amassed a lot of power. A small number of them seem to be very oppressive and I do see that as a blemish here. Yet, I also realize that someone could come along and drop a lot of money and be more powerful than them and ALL of our steem power investment would increase in value.
It is a very difficult problem, and not one that society outside of the blockchain has successfully solved either.
