You have written a very diplomatic and gentle comment to address a very significant issue, @outerground!
I commend you for how you have handled this issue, keeping things transparent, yet civil.
Your approach has strengthened, rather than torn down.
You provided an avenue for restitution which encouraged honesty, accountability and was full of grace.
I'm sorry that you had to deal with something like this, but in the end I think it will serve to make Steemit better and stronger, if only in one small corner of the space.
I'm happy to have you for a friend!
Cheers!

thanks @mitneb. That's very kind and your comment is much appreciated. It's quite a special little corner of steemit and there are some great writers contributing. Everyone deserves a fair chance of impressing the judges and I think everyone has learned something new, including myself :) Your friendship and support is equally valued :)
