I remember reading the Steemit tips for noobs when I signed up. One of them was do's and don't. I remember reading the "don't get into arguments or disagree with the poster" and thinking F... THAT FOR A JOKE!
Surprisingly I actually have very few real arguments here. People tend to either go silent or back down. Probably to do with fear of downvoting.
When the platform is partly sold on freedom of speech, and decentralised and no moderators... and then everyone is afraid to speak out against anyone with higher SP because they get flagged for a difference of opinion. Bit of a joke really.

Yeah. Too many people are either bullies or chickenshits. It's BS.
