Hey @therealwolf,
haters gonna hate, you know the business :)
I'm very thankful towards you, not only because you got me started and motivated me to do my thing here, but also because you are adding great value to steem as a platform. I find it kind of funny that people think you are scamming anybody.
Never forget that you have people out there that support you, even if they stay in the background :)
Best regards,
Martin
