There's no need to be called into this conversation or any other which is the great thing of Steemit. If talks should be and remain private it's better to chat elsewhere. I know at times it can be hard to jump in the middle of chat of others (I know I found that weird) but once you are used to it, it is an interesting plus which you rarely see in the offline world.

I hope the 99% will read and do their share. It's like @steemadi said: commenting is the start of relationships.
