RE: And They Wonder Why We Left...
From @berniesanders: "An active player in the social game? You REALLY think I care about the social aspect of this blockchain?" that was one of the responses he left.
@mightypanda: "^^ This guy deserves a downvote" a comment he left here, so @berniesanders downvoted it. Now since @mightypanda did not downvote the person, just pointed them out, and @berniesanders downvoted him, (remember he does not care about the social aspects), why would he down vote that person? He talks about shit post, yet he can do a post with a title only and 200 + of his sycophants upvoted and it garnered 109 comments, (granted a few were bernie responses). But he does not care for the social aspects then why should he care for about the shit post. he wants to self vote, but when @haejin was self voting and getting a big vote from that ranchlexo person he was upset about it. Robbing from the reward pool he called it. @berniesanders is no different than a hypocritical religious priest telling people to do what I say not what I do.
Personally I would like to see @berniesanders only self vote, then all these hangers on of his would go away since he would not be throwing them peanuts every now and then. It is his vote and he can use it how he wants, he just does not want anyone else to have that option. He is after all a part of the me-too crowd. I want my cake and I want it now and I will lie, beg, borrow, cheat, and steal to get it, and if you try to stop me I will tell the whole world how you made me a victim.
Dude, do your research before mentioning people, bernie had a downvoted before my comment and I just pointed out this person based on his comment. I don't downvote people for disagreement.
Hey @mightypanda... First thanks for reading and looking out for me on the post/comments. And I also wanted to tell you that @bashadow is a good guy like yourself. I think you both just got off on the wrong foot, but I have no doubt that you would get along if you guys get past this little mixup. Just an fyi, both of you are very good peeps! :)
Lately i have found people get triggered too easily and start looking for some reason to blame. Even light weight comments attracts too much scrutiny. I usually try to avoid all this. Mostly because i m not the intellectual type and my only interests are finance and programming.
so much negativity at the moment.
Part of that is fear that it won't get fixed. Very few above us will admit that Steemit will get more RCs to the new users. The worry is that no new blood will come in (and stay), because they can't do much. I've seen it first hand myself, so I know the frustration is real. The negativity stems from the belief that they don't get it.
I am not going to steemD every post I read. Had you clarified and made your comment a question such as "I wonder why?" then I would not have mentioned your name. I am not going to hover over every time stamp either, and the only way to have determined when the downvote occurred would have been to use steemd. You could have tried like D-pend and educate the person about his comment instead of making it look like you called for someone to downvote the person.
Why do the research when you can write a comment to make yourself sound smart?
How's that for a question?
Speaking of research, I have never claimed to be smart. I have also never said someone deserves to be down voted, but then again I have always said a person's vote is their vote to do with as they want.
You may not down vote people but your comment made it look like you have no qualms about having others take care of your dirty work.
As I pointed out had you taken time to educate the person then this self defense of your comment, would not be taking place.
And your question is not a question at all it is a statement on your part, once again sidestepping the embarrassment of being lumped in with @berniesanders. So I suggest you do as I am about to do, place me on mute so you do not have to have your sensitive eyes view my comments, no need to reply to this you are going on mute as soon as I hit the post key.
Hey @bashadow, always great to get your thoughts and opinions. You are always there with some insightful information and analysis. Not much gets by you and I appreciate you sharing it freely (at your own risk too). I think the people at the top should realize that their treatment of others has an effect on the whole value of the chain. If they don't like the social aspect, I don't know why they don't just delegate like the other whales and get their return that way. Its kinda nutty to "run everyone off" by downvoting to show you have more ability to cause harm.
ps... I think you and @mightypanda got off on the wrong foot. Both of you are great guys that I vouch for, so just letting you know that your both on the same team! :)
I am sure he is a great guy, some differences are just not fixable. So as to avoid any other situations I did as I said, and muted him.
