I received a comment and a link to a post entitled: "Paying for Votes is Bad, M'Kay!

The following comment was left on my post, "1 SBD or 1 STEEM for a 3.00 Upvote - World Class Service"

But this is cheating and draining the rewards pool. Instead of the money going to good authors, they go to ones that pay you.
Don't be greedy.
I know you are going to say you are helping, but mostly your wallet.

This opens up some questions:

* Cheating?
* Good Authors?
* Draining the rewards pool?
* Greedy?
* Judgements?
* "I know what you are going to say"?
* Helping...But not really helping?

Questions of Reflection for the Steemit Community?

Does anyone who's made arrangements with @worldclassplayer "feel" Cheated?

Why would someone feel Cheated? Breaking the rules. Tricked. Deceptions.

• Is @worldclassplayer participating in this Way?

• Does anyone who's interacted with @worldclassplayer have perspective here?

Good Authors? Fascinating point of regard here. This is Subjective. How any-one person votes is a personal decision. What arrangements any individual makes with regards to their voting is a personal decision. Generalizing "good authors" is a "slippery slope". Does this mean you should only support someone who is regarded as "successful"...because "successful" can be regarded as good. Does this mean "good authors" are simply those who write in a certain manner and style that is 'defined' as "good". Point I am making here is "good Authors" is very Subjective.

@worldclassplayer exercises the Response-Ability to Decline UpVotes on Posts that can be generally defined as Abusive. Funds will be returned to sender with a message informing of non-support for abusive posts.

By participating on Steemit and Voting, We are "Draining the reward pool". Everyone who participates in Voting is contributing to the "draining" of the rewards pool.

Perhaps "draining" the rewards pool is not the most accurate presentation of what is happening. Perhaps, "Directing" the rewards pool - is a more accurate presentation of what is happening. Influencing the assignment of Post Valuation.

By only supporting authors you define as good...Are You really supporting any authors to become "Good"? Or is that how support works? Only support people with attention and Votes...Once they 'make a success story of themselves'. "The TIP of the Iceberg".

Obviously there are lots of ways to support individuals here. My thinking about Steemit is as a "world Economy". Social networking is the "tip" of the Iceberg. My thinking is to create arrangements with individuals that support growth, development and maturity. My attitude and approach is that Everyone needs good supportive relationships. It is my thinking, that Creative Collaboration is paramount in making and substantiating that which is Awesome. It is my thinking that those with more - should give more for less.

The feedback and support thus far has been quite positive. The post and comment above is the first criticism of @worldclassplayer. I am grateful for the criticism. This has supported me to question myself and my outlook of support for myself and others here. I really do believe that in being 'challenged...and questioned', we are faced with the opportunity to reflect and substantiate our inner-standing of the points in Question.

Questions are the Quests that define our Living Expressions

Is it Greedy to Give more than you get? Is it Greedy to think you "know" someone and what they will say before you actually get to know the person?

Is it Greedy to make judgments about others in any capacity?

Is it Greed, When all who participate is Agreed? Is Greed only ever a point of disagreement on terms of Agreement? Can greed be prevented with WIN/WIN mutual benefit Agreements?

Could it be that Greed is a point of view as a form of opinion that deliberately separates from considering all things...and is thus a point of view as a limited perspective? Is Greed only part of the coin....when the real ways of life is to consider both sides of the same coin? To see the Ying and Yang of our thoughts, words and deeds.
