Thank you for your remarks. I had the same experience with @therealwolf on another account for which he himself sold me the votes :-) I don't know what to make of it and put it down to some automatic trail. In any event, I'm not taking it personally. As strange as this may sound, these people are trying to steer the entire Steem in a particular direction because they think they have a mandate - which they don't. A kind of crazy capitalist social justice warriors. They don't have a beef with me personally and I not with them. I try to keep things mentally separate, difficult as that may be.
