My main intention was only to tell you, and whoever else might come across these comments, how much value I think you bring with all of your other work:). But yes, I agree that sometimes one just can't stay silent, and I respect you a lot for speaking up when it's easier and even more rewarding to stay quiet. Reminds me of one of my all-time favourite quotes by Christopher Hitchens:

Oh, and I'm glad to hear that it wasn't true that you were looking to suck dick for votes at SteemFest. Can you imagine my disapointment if you were and I wasn't even asked?!?!;p
