Not sure what this has to do with the Middle Theory podcast. Anyway I'm sorry you have been having problems - not sure why you are not able to post. Might be worth querying in the #help channel of the chat as someone may have had the same issue. Also in my experience people are generally more pleasant on Steemit compared to other places so you may have just had a bad experience. No place is immune to bad behaviour. It is akin to saying you will abandon FB or Twitter because there are trolls. There are far more on those platforms and they are not failing.
