Sometimes you just get delegated to the outer darkness by popular opinion.

That sounds harsh, but the feeling of being silenced/censored after winning an intense debate is frustrating.
When you are a person of strong opinion it is very easy to offend others. If I offend you, forgive me, it isn't personal.

I thrive on confrontation although I do not entertain and/or humor bigots without a sense of the common. (Wordplay/pun)
"Who" is right is not decided by the masses. "Who" is right by virtue of knowledge is unconquerable in his heart irrespective of the mob's aggressive mentality...

THE LAST WORD

Creep into thy narrow bed,
Creep, and let no more be said!
Vain thy onset! all stands fast.
Thou thyself must break at last.

Let the long contention cease!
Geese are swans, and swans are geese.
Let them have it how they will!
Thou art tired; best be still.

They out-talked thee, hissed thee, tore thee?
Better men fared thus before thee;
Fired their ringing shot and passed,
Hotly charged-and sank at last.

Charge once more, then, and be dumb!
Let the victors when they come,
When the forts of folly fall,
Find thy body by the wall!

MATTHEW ARNOLD 1822-1888

I chose Steemit because it means new beginnings, true freedom of expression and... it was the final alternative.
I sincerely hope to become a part of the blockchain community.
Time will tell if I have a knack for it.
