There is no chance that will happen Charlene, but I appreciate your approach. This has nothing to do with that and you are reading too much into that piece. There were things I could have done differently regarding how I looked at Medium, but there has been and never will be an adjustment in my standards and ethics. I will not support clap groups, spam sham, and people who try to hack the rules. When you read the next story, you may change your mind. If not, just be sure that I will not change mine.
For the 100,000th time (not to you, but to everyone else) - all writers can not just write wherever they want because they want to. I am not controlling where people write because I won't allow fake claps, fake followings and spam sham advocates to write for me. It's not me who will see the light soon and even if you don't, you will see what you want and that is everyone's right.
