Thanks so much for your kind words, and I absolutely agree people need a moral compass to help them with empathy online.

Steemit has been an amazing place, I'm one year in and so far I have had maybe three bad experiences - obviously this is the worst by far, but steemit itself has been an overwhelmingly supportive in general.

I try to stay away from negativity and that is why the post is more of an explanation, to our followers about our actions and not encourage them to act on the info - especially if the flagging continues.

I've been here a year and he will have difficulty hurting me, but if others with more power join his cause - it could damage my account permanently.

Steemit is the perfect place for us to all get along, I hope to soon enjoy being a happy helpful member of this community again.

Cheers
