This is an excellent post. I, too, agree that each user's Steem and SP is theirs to use as they wish. But perhaps appeals like this one will reach some, even if not the intended target. A community like Steemit is only as good as its members. Without teamwork, it will fail.

The other point I can make is that if I were a mobster, or somone with a large account engaged in activities that could potentially draw unwanted attention, the first thing I'd do is set up charitable pledges and ingratiate myself with the core users. I certainly wouldn't be standoffish and stingy. I'd have everyone dependent on my presence because of my generosity and altruism in the community. Just sayin'.
