@gandhibaba I agree with what you said. So many people just want to take the easy road. The only part where I am not so critical is the non-English speakers trying to write in English. I do cut them some slack, at least they're trying. Maybe StackEdit would be a good way to help them with the basics.
As for the abusing the #introduceyourself tag. I cannot believe how many people with a reputation 50+ posting on there when they have a good following. I completely messed up my introduction post and haven't re-done it due to that reason.
I guess I have been lucky not to get insults, but I have seen them. The biggest downside is that if you do disagree with someone for whatever reason, they seem to over-react and start downvoting everything you do. Kind of like throwing a temper tantrum because someone didn't like what they said so they're going to get back at them.
The whole you follow me I'll upvote you and you do the same it driving me nuts. It condones the bad behaviors. Like having every new person to Steemit following you just to they can have x amount of followers and build their reputation quickly.
Thanks for sharing it's nice to see so many people getting fed up with the negative behaviors, yet addressing them in a meaningful way.
Wow thanks for your lengthy and, yet, insightful contribution to this discourse. I could feel the passion with which you poured out your mind. And I can say you are not alone. People like us need to keep speaking up at every opportunity available. It is my belief that, one day, these negative behaviours will be dropped. Regards.
Sorry about that, when I do get passionate I do get a little verbose :D When I reply, I like to make sure that whoever posted knows that I actually read what they wrote.
It is a fantastic trait, friend. I admire it.
