Agree. However, in a pool of abuse those who may have had respect are slowly drawn towards abisive behaviours. One gets infected by its surroundings.

All the more reason to be better. In fact, if you end up being the one shining light that doesn't give into abusive behaviors on a platform like this, you will stand out, which makes people feel drawn in to you.

You are right in a way; The dynamics at Steemit is not supporting the good while reducing the bad; I think we are in a downwards spiral. Therefore we need to breakout in one or the other way.
