It takes a good character to admit a mistake.
It's always better to try to correct someone privately, for if you do, you may earn a friend. If you can't do it privately, then ask a few others you trust to help you. Again, do it as privately as you can. If all else fails, then take it public.
Hopefully, @mibenkito will accept your apology, and together we can continue to improve the Steemit community!
Yes, that is the lesson I learned from this. I think if I hadn't written that AI post and I hadn't gone to the ecovillage, I would still be less informed in this area. Speaking out is good, even if we make mistakes. Creating an environment of fear is not healthy. Some whales need to be caretakers, not police. I still am looking for the caretaking whales and their nursery.....haven't found them yet.
