FOLLOW UNFOLLOW ME ALL DAY 10K TIMES? GET OUT NOW OK? OR MAYBE STAY I LOVE YOU YEAH MOMMY DADDY????? HA HA
I would not ban people or block people because they do something I do not like because I do not want people to do the same thing to me. If you don't want people to do it, then create limits. This website does not let you comment faster than every 20 seconds and post faster than every 5 minutes. If you want people not to follow and / or unfollow too much or too fast or too often or whatever, then put that in the block chain code for this website like you did already with the commenting and posting and 2 second per upvote regulations. If you do not put that in, then people can do it. People can do whatever they can do and people will do everything or anything they want both good and bad. But don't get mad if people break invisible rules. That is why I hate Facebook when they censor us too much like China does. It is a question of where is the line for the rules and laws and at what point do we cross subjective and / or objective lines for those rules or whatever? If you want to go after these people then you can do that. Should we go after these people and also bots and spam and scams and everything? Some will say yes. I might say no. I am not totally sure. I guess it depends maybe. But I also know these are dangerous or complex issues.
.
But be clear about the rules.
.
If EXCESS UNFOLLOWING is illegal on Steemit, disable it.
.
And post that specific rule everywhere.
.
Then you can ban them or whatever if you want if they break the rules.
.
The community around blockchain is very anti regulation! We appreciate decentralized systems for this reason. There is no authority to make these rules other than ourselves.
Are we like the Borg or more like sleeping in the Matrix and Wall-E? The Borg had a Borg Queen in Star Trek. I love decentralization as opposed to centralized corruption, slavery, dictatorship, plutocracy, technocracy, communism, socialism, crony capitalism, oligarchy, corporatism, the NWO, and all of that kind of bigger government stuff. I do not like too much slavery / WELFARE.
.
I am a bit scared of bad kings.
.
But I am also scared of bad people too.
.
A bad king can choose to do bad things.
.
Bad kings can make bad judgments and punish people unfairly.
.
If we are all bad on Steemit, we might make bad judgments too.
.
If there is no objective truth, then people can say or do anything that they all agree in doing and everything. If there is no absolute morality, then relativity will take us places we would not intend to go. Over time, we tolerate bad things and then we begin to do and believe in bad things. We get hooked on addictions and we decline as a society and historically we saw this happen with and during the fall of Rome and Babylon and the Mongol and Egypt and Assyria and Persia and England and many other empires and countries and groups and religions and cults and everything.
.
I love Bitcoin and Steemit and hope for the best for them.

Thanks for writing, @thearcanebear
Yeah, its difficult. Anyone who claims to really "know" is full of crap. We are all lerning together, ifnding out the nature of what it us to be human on this ball of ice and rock. Being supportive allow others to be supportive of us. If I get on the matt with a black belt in Jiu Jitsu and say hey lets roll, they are gonna kick my ass, yet, if i say, im having troubles here, or i wanna learn this and I empower their teaching and knowledge, I will always learn more, and those who could break me, will meet me half way and help me do better. This is an important lesson I have learned while fighting. Offer those around you the oppurtunity tobecome empowered teachers, or ask them for a fight and get my ass handed too me! thank you too @joeyarnoldvn we are all learning together.
Great karate analogy. I was learning Taek Won Do when I was 9. Agreed.
One question: why that picture?
@tarek-h, the picture got you here. The picture shows you that you are triggered and influenced by glamor and beauty and art and perfection and that is built into us and that is part of our nature and we do judge books and people by covers and we follow people that are hotter.
.
This photo serves as a mascot to this game and competition of getting more followers and in our desire to be perfect. I may also actually know this girl too.
not true. what got me here is I followed you and your posts are on my feed that is what got me here, otherweise I wouldn't be commenting :p
@tarek-h, good for you, but what I am talking is a very big thing that is within psychology and also anthropology and you can see is when you study sociology and culture and religions and you can see certain patterns in civilizations and societies throughout history and especially in the thinking, feelings, and actions of men
