RE: Jaguar Force Expands
Otto, I can understand, why you are so upset, but this debate is not going anywhere. Of course one cannot just ripp something from the web. But you have to give the devil credit, the copyright thingy is on the picture.
For two years now, I'm practicing aikido. OK, bloody beginner. But I understand, that deescalation is part of the philosophy, and it is also, what I am trying to do here.
We have all been alienated by yaguar.forces drill sergeant tone, but getting back with an equally aggressive approach will not make things better. Only the opposite... You know, it might be a bad comparison, but just a few moments ago, I was thinking of the dawn of first world war. Nobody wanted to listen to the voices of reason. Everyone threatens everyone and before you know it, the (steem)world is up in flames. Is that what we want?
I can see, that one can actually reason with jaguar.force and it seems the debate can actually be a lot more reasonable, than it is right now. I'm trying to get some pressure off the sail, before our ship capsizes with all of us.
NTopas has made a good post with guidelines, all parties can agree upon. Why not take it from there?
He is not associated with nTopaz, and on there, we discussed this issue extensively in private messages (I withdrew from the curation team because of time restraints, but am still in discussions with the team).
I am sorry, but I am not Neville Chamberlain - appeasing and ducking is not my style either.
Bullies and Trolls will continue unabated unless you stand up to them!
Maybe I wasted too much time with this, should go back to my old meme:
I created this meme from a photo of Clint Eastwood which later I posted on my facebook and in related messages, because trolls are on there in large numbers as well.
Yeah well... isn't this taking up way too much energy from us as well?
I'm not talking about ducking and appeasing. I talk about a willingness to come to a conclusion that works instead of letting something escalate to the point, where it will definitely not work.
I'm all for standing up, for what you think is a good cause. Its just the means, how one goes about it. Arguing and being aggressive usually only lead to more of just that, don't you think?
