Btw, I want to thank you for taking the time to highlight this comment @thoughts-in-time, and turning it into a post...a comment that was made in a recent blog post from @joshsigurdson. I know how he feels about this himself, as he asked the downvoters directly (by tagging them), for a reasoned response to their actions (on multiple posts). I personally feel that these lines of reply have reached the point of self-serving narratives, as the goal posts for the reasons why, are gradually being shifted every time these questions are being asked. I find the most recent comment and response to myself by @acidyo in that same comment thread to be very interesting, considering it has gradually changed course from some of the earlier responses as to some of the reasons why.

On a personal note, I'm grateful for the tag and for highlighting some of my past work on steem and hive. But most importantly, I want to thank you (and a few others without tagging them all) for the perseverance and courage you have shown in the face of adversity, on this very topic by highlighting it consistently, for a long time now.
