@prufarchy covered everything I was going to say. You have a damn good head on your shoulders, from what I can assess through your writing. It sounds like you are using this as a learning experience and moving forward.
Thanks for sharing all that you have about Dancing Rabbit! That place is beautiful and I'd like to visit some time. I'd like to create my own decentralized living space in the future.
Yes, the main thing I've been learning recently is that in order to live in somewhat of a harmonious way, we each need to get really clear about our own issues. Fucked up people cannot coexist in harmony inside of a group. It's only when we decide to look at ourselves squarely can we hope to make any progress at all. I appreciate your comments.
I get really pissed off when I see or suspect fraud. It's because I care so much about quality that I sometimes get overly ruffled when I see people abusing this place, taking more than is necessary, and ruining Steemit's reputation. Reputation cannot be built from a house of fraud....
