Lucksacks Gratitude
Hello, Steemit. @bethalea here with all kinds of teh feelings. As you may be aware, the @tuck-fheman blog and therefore the @SPL Community as a whole found themselves downvoted heavily yesterday. Some people and communities may have reacted differently, but with Tuck in the lead, @spl members took the high road and managed to turn a negative situation into a positive growth experience.
Through Adversity Comes Strength
I’ve learned that it isn’t whether or not bad things happen in your life, it’s how you handle those things that matter. SPL and friends rose to the challenge yesterday, in droves, managing to stay positive, connected and to ultimately become bigger and stronger.
The Steemit Poker League, as a whole, showed solidarity and dedication. Our discord channel was on fire with people coming together and troubleshooting how best to help. Some made videos:
And many, many others came out with other ideas like hosted tournaments (thanks @jpederson96), offers of donations came from all sectors and everyone vehemently affirming that there was NO WAY @SPL was going down.
Thank You
Major support came from others, @spl friends @themarkymark and @berniesanders for instance, who have made it possible for the @SPL to survive during this time of difficulty and upheaval. It’s easy to say thank you after you’ve come to our aid, however our thanks is heartfelt and genuine. You guys should come play with us!

glad to have you, @amos811!!

Challenging times always tests your strength and the strength of your community. Unfortunately - some will run and hide, but some will stand and fight - and there is your backbone.
It would not be wise to mess with the poker community - we've been through hell and we're still standing.
:::Peace:::
exactly! we're scrappy and we love a good fight ;)
woah, I had no idea. I've been upvoting SPL posts as much as possible (within reason) to support the community. I enjoy SPL and hope that it stays around for a long time!!
Why would anyone want to down-vote SPL!?!
good news is we have friends and tons of support in the community, yours included @evolved08gsr!! thank you for yours!!

He is still trying to take you down, but it will be a useless and unsuccessful foght to try to take down the whole Steemit which is not on your aide. Unfortunately I don't have so much SP to influence this flags so I am going to ask @originalworks to come and leave an upvote here (I am curious is it does this even if the post is low rated). Good luck, I am happy to hear you are doing well!
