Rantastic! While, it's good to get this all out of the way and off your chest - you don't owe the hatters anything, not even your time to type a reply.

I'm not even that "old" on Steemit and already in the past month I have seen the influx of "facebook mentality" users coming, posting worthless pics they stole off the interwebs, dropping snarky or unrelated comments and naturally get nothing for it. I assume those people will eventually learn that follow for follow, and spamming their post links on other people's pages won't get them far or earn them the STEEM GOLD they think they deserve for it.
