    Hello @semantralist

    My best advice is do not care about it at all. Steemit is a place to write and have fun.
    It is just some people that are dramatic, there is no drama in itself.

    Have a laugh and a nice day

    Hi @semantralist

    When Steemit started people got to high hopes to soon. They thought it would be bigger than facebook in no time.
    Now they are looking for what is wrong because they did not get rich after five minutes.
    People do not want it to take some time and now many people think they are expert in solving the problem that is not there.

    The second wave of Steemit will start in the near future and then they will be happy again.

    It is the same story every time in history.

    I disagree. This has nothing to do with how soon Steem will be a success. This has everything to do with people trying to get on with projects, but being distracted by silly flag wars, and users being pushed off the platform, and a "rule by force" system in place.

      There has been a Flag War going on longer than I have been a user. I don't know how it began or what started it. Users have the ability to flag each other, those with most SP have the greatest flagging power. On the Steem blockchain currently "rule by force" is in effect, rather than consensus decision making, this can be observed by the widespread blanket flagging by @abit and @smooth (which is not malicious, but a band-aid to coding problems regarding reward distributions).

      Certain powerful players for whatever reason have been flagging people as they see fit, pushing people away from the platform. Over time things have slowly escalated.

      I'm just trying to work on some projects with some fellow Steemians, but I've had enough of them being distracted by Flag Wars, or being pushed away from the platform (as has been the case for other users). I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore. This is a problem that can be solved, and there have been many solutions presented, but none adopted.

      If no solutions are implemented we will be forced to take the throne and rule over this platform (as it is rule by force) utilising the Low Orbit Flag Cannon (LOFC). Unfortunately using the LOFC on the Steem blockchain is like setting off a small localized nuclear device to get someone in your backyard. There will be fallout and likely many users' accounts devastated. But this will only happen if "rule by force" is continued.

      I just want to work with other people, towards bettering the community, and strengthening our investments. But if we are going by the "rule by force" approach then:

      "Since there is nothing in the world which is permanent whatever exists must eventually be overcome by something else which comes along. Seeing himself and his values in the same light he knows that these aspects must also be overcome by something stronger if not by him then by someone or something else.
      So in order to keep up with the times he continuously reinvents himself over and over always building something stronger, more powerful, on top of what went before.
      In this way they rise above the values of the masses (the weaker, the unwise) until they arrive at the top and being superior to any other they serve as the guidelines for the rest of society. They remain on top until another superior system of values comes along and usurps it."

      But also what @babsboard said!
