@theycallmedan, I'm replying to an old post so I don't clutter your live posts with something negative.

I wanted to show you why someone like me (22 month vet) has a distaste for how people are treated here. I made a post that was critical, but constructive. There were also many thoughtful replies that took time to compose and written by people that care. Not only was the post downvoted into oblivion, but also the words of most of the people that replied.

While I could care less about the $1 monetary reward, I do get a "why bother" taste in my mouth when my speech is silenced like this.

I am not asking you to "do" anything because frankly he would just attack all the good things you do. But this kind of activity has gone unchecked for a very long time and we have lost many awesome people that just decided its not worth the time to care about Steemit.

I'm pointing it out in case you don't know, this is a perfect example of suppression of free speech by a bully. And why I rarely post anymore.

Here is the post:

Good luck to you, and if you got this far, thanks for listening!
