RE: FLAG WARS - Where "might makes right" continues to rule

I commend you for remaining true to your values. People seem to forget that Steemit is simply a microcosm of the rest of the world we live in. It contains all the good and evil in pretty much the same proportions, sadly.
As we've discussed before the responsibility lies with the individual to take responsibility for their own being. Few do this, again sadly.
The whole concept of "raping the reward pool" is simply WRONG, meaning that what folks are doing is EXACTLY what the blockchain has been programmed to do. Haijin and all the rest are doing nothing illegal as defined by the code underlying the blockchain. In fact ned and many others behave the same way; just less offensively. Just like in the "real" world the more money and power you have the more money and power you can accumulate from others.
