I don't equate being on steemit with high school. Especially not the high school you went to. It sounds like it was brutal. However, I sorta dealt with
high school like I currently deal with steemit.

I just mind my own business. When I feel like saying something that I think has value, I say it. I don't go looking for fights nor do I respond to inflammatory dialogue. Praise those that deserve and need it.

Now I wish I could say I have done that all my life. I haven't. But steemit is my kind of place, I guess. I get value out of it, reading and commenting on things that interest me. I don't have to interact if I don't want to and I can spend as much or as little time here as I desire.

I guess what I am saying is, I like steemit. I didn't have preconceived ideas of what it should have been. Could it be better? Sure. I have mentioned a few times that I don't like the flagging system, for one. If things get to where I don't like my experience anymore, I will move on.
