Your comment to me prompted me to open up the full post. As I mentioned in my response to you, I am not very technical, so the "API being fucked" didn't initially mean a lot to me. However, I've since looked into it and if he were correct it certainly would be an issue to be very concerned about for the growth of steemit. Am I correct in assuming that your statement I can point to a number of people doing what u seem to believe is not possible is referring to the API, and it is not quite the insurmountable problem he indicated?
Also, I had not seen the comment by rampant until just now, and I'm extremely glad I'd trusted my intuition not to pursue it any further. While I was growing a bit disheartened by the amount of fighting among different groups that was taking place here right at the time faddat posted this, I truly love steemit. And while I certainly have no problem with others creating a similar platform, I do have a problem with someone using this platform as a forum to trash this platform and in the same post promoting their own, which is now the way I see it without a doubt.
I'm sorry for whatever it is that you invested into this project only to have one person essentially destroy its credibility, by making such a post without consulting with any of those he listed.
