I'm a little disappointed that it was flagged to oblivion, especially by the whales. While I agree that it could have been resolved differently, I did post a couple of lengthy responses as a way to help resolve any conflict.
Communities need leaders - and we have many - but sometimes those leaders need guidance too - or at the very least, another perspective. Censorship is not the way - but objective third parties might be. Glad to see you're back and I love these photos! I've never heard of ecovillages before - at least not a functioning one. I'm looking forward to reading more about Dancing Rabbit.

I also felt that the flagging to oblivion was wrong. There are some serious issues obviously going on underneath that no one knows about. Thanks for defending me. As I mentioned, I had left to go to the ecovillage and I was not even aware that the whales/witnesses had flagged me to oblivioin. It wasn't until late at night that I came to know that they had taken vengeance on me. My entire trip to the ecovillage was made uneasy because I couldn't see how I would be promoting Steemit after having been censored. It made no sense actually.
@nathanbrown and @dolphindigest are here on Steemit and they live there! I'd love for them to start writing more in depth about Dancing Rabbit. It's a fascinating place. And those people know how to resolve conflict and work together. It was eye-opening how they always have facilitators to help with conflicts.
I've always had great experiences meeting people from my online communities. It's always a joy to match words to a face, or laugh, or true humor. Something about being in the presence of another's aura. It must have been a great experience for you.
I was honestly surprised and pretty disheartened by the responses to your post. It kind of had mob mentality, snowball effect, which didn't seem right for anyone involved, especially when you were clearly stating an opinion. I'm not sure that I would have posted an apology but rather let sleeping dogs lie, but I appreciate you all the more for doing it and being a great example of grace under adversity.
