At first I wasn't certain what you were driving at. This may have been because I went in kind of expecting yet another illustration of the ways in which Steemit is designed to be flawed.

However as the fog quickly cleared it became clear that this was a critcism of dogma in its many forms (often from opposite sides of the same debate) and in this I'd have to nod in agreement - it does go a little too far at times.

Of course some dogma is better supported than others and this serves to further entrench the opposition into suspiciously guarding their views. The ego-contest is also real.

Picking a side is often wise - but it can sometimes be correct to stand alone.

Well... I enjoyed reading. Thanks.
