Hi Everyone!
I woke up this morning like any other and went straight to Steemit so see what was going on in my new favorite place to be while I slept.
For the first time ever on Steemit, my blood pressure jumped to a dangerous level and I saw red.
Yes, I can get mad. It doesn't happen very often but when it does it's a bit of a scary thing.
As most of you know if you have read any of my posts you know how much I'm indebted to 
This group and the rules therein has opened a world I have had buried so deep inside myself that I never thought it would see the light of day again.
The main rule in her Freewriters group was that there weren't any rules. The main objective was just to get you starting to write. Freely, without thinking about proper anything. Just get your thoughts down on paper using a prompt for that day.
It was a hard lesson to learn to just write and not worry about what you were really saying. To be totally free in letting your thoughts flow on the page is much harder then one would think.
Through the wonderful community that arose from this group and the support I got just for trying made me come back every day and give it another go. Something every day I am thankful for.
I always have to go back and fix my mistakes as I am not a typer, speller or writer by trade.
With the gift of freedom given to me in this group that
If not for the Freewriters group I really don't know if I would have made it 100 days on Steemit. Would not have met the wonderful people I have. Would not have been comfortable just writing my thoughts out for all the world to see.
So what got me seeing red today? A person that didn't do their research on the group but felt compelled to tell
I feel everyone is always entitled to their opinion BUT if you are going to go so far as to tell someone they are doing something wrong, that what they are doing has no real meaning then you should make damn sure you have done your homework. Something this person obviously did not.
I find it funny? when a group gets's larger and people that don't know the history proceed to find fault with it all.
If they had taken 5 more minutes to read at least 2 posts, they would have found amazing things but they didn't.
Their whole thought wasn't to help but to rip apart a good thing. To make people, like me, afraid to belong to a wonderful thing that has always been full of love, support, and new friendships and best of all some of the greatest writings I have ever read! and I have read more than most. I use to average 10 books a week from all different genres.
So someone sighting that what the Freewriters were adding was crap to the permanent Blockchain and was low-grade work that shouldn't be allowed to was the straw that set me OFF!
Steemit is free for anyone to use. It IS to be a place for freedom of speech and ideas.
This person had a right to express their feelings, with this I agree. What I don't agree with is them not doing their research before making a comment that goes against everything the Freewrite group represents.
And now I will stop and let this go but I felt my thoughts needed to be expressed.
I DO want to thank 
Thank You, everyone, once again, for being as kind as you are to me.
Sorry for this rant but it had to get out because it's been hours now and I am still upset.
My advice to anyone on Steemit is to research ALL of something if you feel something is wrong that you come across.
Much Love,
Snook
