is self-voting really bad? why is it shameful? what's with the public shaming?

I do not agree with the focal point of this article. However, I agree this opinion should be voiced. My contention is, the word judgement gets thrown around a little too much. As a professional writer of op-ed, comedy, etc...people are paying you & searching for original thoughts & meat on the bone. We are subjective, not objective voices. The word judgement could be supplanted for the word actually describing what a community like STEEMIT is good for, "discerning". As in, not becoming a catch all for everything. I like the democratic system of voting on content here. I enjoy knowing that even if someone invests in STEEM Dollars (which I see as the wrong way to go. I feel we should trade dollars for currency we actually like as a value play & not a speculative one), we still have to post & comment on good content to ensure the cream rising to the top. Maybe it's because I run a business & see this platform as just that, a platform & not a casino. So, I don't need money from it but it is a nice ancillary benefit. Let's just all agree that at least we can STEEM our opinions without the responses devolving into verbal defication & character assasination. Though I disagree with Tamim on this point, it is still as valid as my opinion. STEEM ON MY FRIENDS!
