I feel that it would be abit unfair of me to blame steemit inc, because from what I understand maby they are a victim of circumstance. The way that I currently envision the quagmire, that its users have been drug into, starting was perhaps a question was proposed to trim the low hanging fruit and without seriously considering the implications a decision was made. But it does strike an unpleasant nerve. I am reminded of the way that facebook censored me because of my vocal conservative religious and political beliefs (which can be easily reminded by creating a new account) but it almost makes you feel violated. facebook tried to silence me but in the process they deleted part of the history that I had built for about 10 years. Even though steemit.com is a completely different circumstance, the effects on my end are similar. When a handkerchief is shoved in your mouth its somewhat difficult difficult between a 'honest handkerchief' and a 'mischievous handkerchief'
However, thank you @smithlabs I appreciate the encouragement to stick with the program! While facebook started trying to manhandle the blogers, youtube started to try to manhandle the vlogers. Mike Adams (known as the health ranger) got sick of youtubes antics (Mike Adams is a conservative...its funny how people that tell the truth end up being conservatives) youtube also tried to silence conservative voices by creating an uneven playing field. (recencly Mr. Prager...
Hey @plemmons, in a way its kind of pathetic that members of the steemit community are crawling around whispering, but in another way of looking at things I sort of enjoy the practice.
Let us follow the example of Paul,
Philippians 4:11
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
I need to learn to be content, if I can only hit fast pitches then I am not that good of a baseball player.
Proverbs 24:10
If you fail under pressure, your strength is too small.
It is a blessed/curious/terrifying truth that growth is accelerated during the difficult times.
Hey @glenabrethsen I appolgize that I have not gotten back with you, I wrote you a note but was reminded of my lack of lunch money (RC) and not allowed to send it to you. Couldn't this hard-fork fiasco be temporarly remided by steemit inc gifting blogers an ammount of RC, and then they can work on a more permanent patch? Because, at the momment I have been told that they are working on a patch, while they work they appear to be hemorrhaging
Keep speaking your mind - but if I may suggest, please re-read before posting. When there are too many errors, it shows you passionately wrote, but did not bother to ensure your message gets through.
For instance, you could edit and correct:
I think should read:

You are correct, I did mean to write 'which can be easily remedied'...but I am not ashamed of being passionate about what I was writing about (however I am learning that 'things spoken in haste may lead to errors') :)

I only recognised what caused the errors because I usually write in the same manner. However, I have learnt not to post immediately and make a coffee and then reread - that is all I am suggesting, as the writing loses its sting if there are errors
Thanks for replying.

howdy sir captaintj! I know what you mean and understand your frustration. The latest I've heard is that they will PROBABLY do an adjustment but no one knows when or if it will actually be done. There are several programs on this post to help smaller accounts:

I hope you win, and it helps! I wish I had enough SBD to send some RC your way, but most of what I am using was given to me to keep me functional. RC Jail is tough; and overpopulated!
I am pulling for you my friend!

Well the only thing to do I suppose is to be content. However I seem to remember Paul always fought for the believers who weren't the "chosen ones". I have not given up yet and I don't think you have either. I am not sure how this system works and I know that I have no control over it. However I will unfurl my sails and tack into the wind. Because I am content to do that.
I do not see this as censorship. I see it as unfortunate. I see a lot of people posting over and over again. I know I could not but they can. Why? The fabled RC.
I have also been censored on Twitter but I found a way to beat it by doing just what you said. I have three accounts. Amost 20,000 following which means nothing if I can't get them to read something. My analytics are climbing still and other accounts are not.
Press on and WE will find a way to be heard here as well. I feel it.
Upvoted, resteemed, and replied. Its called networking and that works.
Do you telegram?
