@fiftysixnorth while I completely agree with you in regards to the good that @curie does, I do think the objection here is the abusive manner that this author has employed to call upon those who have benefited from @curie's work to vote for their witness. And I agree with that sentiment very much.
While I would support anyone voting @curie for witness. I will not be supporting @steemitcommunity's witness because of this distasteful behaviour. I take that stand with considerable reluctance as I would like to support @paulag
I'm sorry you feel the post to be 'abusive' and 'distasteful', thank you for your comments.
I get that, though personally I don't think @curie should be punished for that. I was more responding to the fact that @r00sj3 said she hasn't voted for any witnesses yet or understands what its about. I found it a good opportunity to inform on what witnesses do :)
I wouldn't dare to presume to tell anyone who they should vote for.
I think I made it pretty clear, I wont withdraw my support of curie over this author's ill-conceived post. I will of his witness though even though it means not supporting someone I would dearly love to support.
