A very interesting post @buggedout  I've been around long enough to know that not everyone plays fair and I have been known to champion the underdog in work situations because I just can't stand injustice. More so than staying in a work situation where ethics are overlooked, especially by brown-nosers and ladder climbers. Being very new in Steemit, I have not come across scammers personally but I believe that  they will be out there unfortunately. I truly appreciate your strength of character and your willingness to warn others of scammers. I sincerely hope these elements get nipped in the bud and hope everyone who is here for the right reasons will enjoy their experience.
