RE: I feel like Steemit is my home. Is it?
"If this platform is going to be really valuable, there clearly needs to be unique content that cannot be found elsewhere."
How about a shoutout to the person who said that to you? :)
you're funny. You said the obvious and you want a shoutout?
Anyways Barry.. good work and I do enjoy the posts I've seen you put up. Nice to have you on board.
He took what I said and copied it verbatim (see above). It's best practice to give some credit to the author when you copy what someone else wrote verbatim.
Wow, your right...he took your unique content word for word.
lol i think he's trolling me : )
He is too busy replying to his own supportive altaccounts to give you any credit. :P
Haha seriously what's with this guy?
Thanks @shadowspub. I'm certain the same phrase has been used by someone before @ntomaino used it.
You were rude to me and I stay away from negativity.
I told you about best practices on here which prompted this post.
How was I rude to you?
So, you going to troll him everyday like this?
Not trolling, just calling a spade a spade
That's the spirit!
Hello Steemit fans. In a conversation on another post I made, @ntomaino made the following quote and I used it in this article "If this platform is going to be really valuable, there clearly needs to be unique content that cannot be found elsewhere." If you are interested in this petty matter, read the entire conversation between he and I here: https://steemit.com/dollarvigilante/@barrycooper/jeff-berwick-interviews-barry-cooper-on-anarchast. During my rebuttal, I asked him a sincere question. I did not know the answer because I am new to the platform. Instead of answering in a manner to help me, he gave a smart Aleck answer. I'm not the only person who thought his answer was rude because his comment was flagged. I have been blogging for eleven years and have dealt with thousands of critics. In the article you just read, I stated, "I have always been considered a controversial figure. I learn from my critics so I hope they continue to follow me. I promise to always be kind and loving to my fans." True to my word, I learned and earned from a critic whose intention was to be push me instead of help me. I promised to be kind and loving to my fans. I never promised the same to critics. In fact, I will learn and earn from my critics but I will not be bullied. I admit in this article that I am a very sensitive person so I can discern between who is supportive and who is badgering. Sometimes if a comment is bad enough, I am known to curse at the bully. For instance, in the blog I wrote about the Mexican cartels, A bully continued to flame and accused me of being in the mafia. HIs behavior was harsh enough to deserve a "fuck you." The instance with @ntomaino's flagged comment wasn't near that harsh so I simply ignored him and used his negativity to inspire my audience with this blog. To insure I'm being ethical and as a sign of an olive branch, I am willing to offer my critic a share of the money I made in this article. How much money do you feel like you deserve @ntomaino for not helping me when I asked for it?
I'm not sure what the smart aleck comment from the other thread you're referring to is, but sorry you interpreted it that way (that wasn't my intention).
And while I thought it was a bit disingenous to copy my comment verbatim in this post, I don' think I deserve anything for it. I've enjoyed learning about your story and wish you all the best.
You started the conversation with a warning that did not apply to me. You stated "Recycling content like this will quickly get you off the radar of all whale bots." You implied my recycled content would not do well. In my defense, I explained why my recycled content was an exception and mentioned the post already had 200 votes. I asked if 200 votes was good because I didn't know if this number of votes was a sign of a successful article or not. You replied, "What is and isn't "good" is completely subjective." I waited for you to say something else but you never did. Although your comment is true, if you were being sincere you would have expounded instead of leaving me hanging. Since you knew recycled content could repel whales, than you would know if 200 votes was good or not. Now that I've learned more, I realize 200 is good. By you not recognizing this, I considered it smart aleck so I ignored you. All that said, I respect your willingness to clear things up and to compliment me for the first time. I also respect that you didn't ask for any money. If you did, I would have paid you but I would have lost all my respect for you and ignored you from now on. I'm glad we worked this out and I look forward to our future. Peace and love.
Wow, this is something I have literally never seen before on any social media. Only on steemit have I seen two people who misunderstand each other, work each others differences out and see each other on eye to eye.
Blockchains creates honesty, no false personas, which is why I officially love steemit.
@ntomaino & @barrycooper, you guys are awesome for expressing how you truly feel in each one of your responses. It's easy to feel attacked by someone over the internet and you guys worked it very constructively, Cheers!
No worries -- it's easy to misinterpret ones intentions via text.
Let me know if you ever make it to the Bay Area. It would be great to grab a coffee and connect in person.
I commend you both for working this out the way you did. We are all learning and Adam Kokesh's first post on Steemit today talks about this thing we call LIFE! I prefer to read these type conversations. There is a time and place for everything, sometimes a simple "F-You" is appropriate. Those 4 letters are quite powerful.
I neither kindly nor rudely tell a person my boundary, and then if they cross it, they're done. You get one chance, and then I will do what I have to do to get the person away from me so that they don't continue to cross my boundary. I'm not gonna say fuck you the first time, but if a person is not respecting my boundaries, I'll tell them in no unclear terms to back the fuck off.
You are a very think skinned man 🙏
