! BEER. other than the beer sip, not much to say about it all, but there are those types and will always be those types, and they will never acknowledge that any of their problems are created by themselves.

I just browsed @mepatriot's posts, I don't exactly see what's wrong? Are you just philosophically opposed to him or what?

I explained it as well as I can in this post. He is a parasite who milks. I think he is about as sincere as Mr. Haney from Green Acres.

It offends me seeing you look most times daily for articles of CPS abuse so you can make this project your little cash cow. You have done nothing in my opinion to strengthen the group, you're a parasite. You shit on something that is bigger than any one of us, something that is a true church regardless of your beliefs pertaining to God. The true church is in the moment between community members, helping one another voluntarily. The true church is one where it is an honor to take a neighbors burden when they are a decent person who find themselves unable to manage in the moment.

I'm not trying to argue I'm really just trying to understand what he did wrong? To my understanding it just seems like you don't like what he posts about? But, he is active and powering up Steem. I don't see how he's leeching?

Sorry, again not trying to argue or anything, this is just very unclear to me.

I could write dozens of posts on those who have supported FP and those that have needed help. This clown does nothing but take. He could give a shit about the actual intent behind the project other than how he can profit from it.

What's the project called? And how exactly is he profiting from it I guess is what I'm asking?

I see what you mean about giving back the rewards from that group or whatever. But, why would they upvote him if he does this against what their little group is about? Seems the blame is on whoever is upvoting him and expecting to get a % of it.

Not absolving him of any blame, but why do they keep upvoting him then?

It's not my place to tell FP how to vote, nor question their actions. Nor to tell him he can't write a dozen of the posts per day to maximize his cash cow. It is my place to voice my disgust with what I view as a fake ass milking of a project that is worth more than his illusion of outrage so he can make coin from the misery. He is like the fake minister who hoards his collection plate while members of his flock do without.

Also, by calling it

their little group

you too seem to miss the idea of community. Everyone who has given to this effort to see it grow is part of this community. As I said, the list is long on those who have been drawn to support this project Linda and Mark started. While they are the driving force behind it, it does not make those of us who have contributed to the growth any less a part of the community.

As he pointed out, I resteem many whom he labeled as his friends. As if their association by default meant I had to somehow treasure his parasitic maneuverings. Not sure which friends he is talking about, but being a true part of a community involves agency and walking the talk. One doesn't ride the acts of ones friends, nor get a pass because others see you in a different light. I see him for what he is, and he doesn't get to hide that because others I may hold in high esteem don't.

He's just gotten himself confused somehow... Thanks, treepi.

Haha, play nice boys.

Hey, he's the one attacking me out of the blue for no good reason...

I'm not picking sides. 😝 Just be nice. No point in any of this. It just makes us all look bad.

Not blaming you or him. The optics are just bad.

I've given 200 SP to familyprotection and another 300 SP to informationwar...through both outright gifting and delegations...probably about a 1/4th or 1/5th of everything I've ever made here, so please get off your high horse and stop spreading disinformation.

I've upvoted all my friends and supporters as much as I can and do it mostly manually every day and to the Nth degree. MANY OF THESE are THE SAME PEOPLE YOU RESTEEM DAILY. So, yes I have my "community" that I support in my way, with votes, while you resteem. To each his own.

You're making little sense, and have apparently just decided that you have your view of what I do and don't like it. That's a shame, but it's not my fault you've misjudged. MANY OTHERS DO LIKE WHAT I FIND AND POST, and it is usually only those who hate Christianity or conservative values that downvote my material.

Frankly, I really don't care that much about your opinion or your constant downvotes, all they prove is that YOU are the mean-spirited one. I've downvoted maybe 5-10 times in 18 months and have received thousands of downvotes in return, simply for telling the truth.

I'm not sure where your opinions are coming from, especially as you seem to upvote mostly people I support and who support me, but it is a very sad and troubling little (very little) situation.

To "ignore" you go...

I've given 200 SP to familyprotection so please get off your high horse and stop spreading disinformation.

Yes, I see that you did, lol. Two days after you were called out on it by someone else asking about what I said. Two days after you admitted doing so would make writing the posts not worth your while.

We both know the only reason you did it was because you were called out on it and would lose face in front of those friends you keep bringing up for some reason.

Frankly, I really don't care that much about your opinion or your constant downvotes, all they prove is that YOU are the mean-spirited one.

If you didn't, we both know that 200 Steem never would have been given. If calling your greed at the expense of a movement of caring is being mean, then yes, I am indeed that.

To "ignore" you go

You mean that's back where I go. You had me on ignore for some time now. But thanks for announcing it. Really put me in my place after all the inconvenience I have caused you. :)

I know you will still read this, so letting you know that even though I see you for what you are I will stop downvoting you now that you FINALLY gave something back to the FP community. However, at the rate you keep deleting posts and then spamming them back again I don't see your issues here going away. You still prove my point every day you delete and repost them. It is and has been about the rewards for you, not about the topics you post. Some would look at the greyed out posts and think it might add a validity to them if others didn't want them easily seen (not that the one click it takes to make them visible is a huge impediment, lol).

conservative values

Conservative values. Many mistake me as having them, but I'm not really sure what that means.
