Indeed, the internet with its mostly anonymous nature (for the less tech savvy anyway) has allowed a lot of dumb people to dumb things in even bigger and dumber ways. It’s an unavoidable side effect that simply bypasses the need for courtesy or any kind of character at all.

I like the steemit platform and believe in its facility as a means to incentivize creativity and put great people in touch with each other. Trying as it is, it is best to remain a gentleman or lady about things or people that frustrate and confound.
