RE: What Would You Do If Governments Get Into STEEM? How Tailored Access Operations And Bad Guys With Deep Pockets Could Bury The Truth On STEEM
Hi @sunlit7
It really is unfortunate to hear this about those two channels. I always wish that people could find a middle ground is such situations. It is frustrating to hear this about people that want to try and make a difference. We are not supposed to be against each other because we sit in the same boat. Fighting amongst one another is exactly what the system was designed to do.
My motto has always been to agree to disagree and come back tomorrow and see if you find common ground. I've been blogging for quite a while and I've come across people on totally opposite spectrum of something then myself. Over the course of time we've come together on many of topics and that can only occur with open dialogue. Censoring and shutting down people constantly is no way to run a forum.
I agreed with you @sunlit7
It sounds like someone as an ego problem and that does so much breakdown to a good cause. People are funny things. I wonder how that person think that running a channel like that and handling the situation the way you explained can be seen in line with their cause. It is two extremes on the spectrum.
You must however take note of a lot of trolls one has to fend off when doing what they do. You do not sound like one to me at all. I am just trying to think why that person would have handled the situation the way he did.
That is another huge contentious issue. Falling to the "your are a troll" if you disagree with them. I just flat out told them if I was a troll I'd be reading everything you put out and trolling it. I click on things that draw my attention, I go research a lot of stuff before I even comment. There was one thing that seemed so far fetched I couldn't believe it was true but researching it it was true. Then I had the opposite effect, a couple people coming out calling it all a political shot to bring someone down, but there was evidence clearly presented in several articles and shown in past history before this person ran for office that this stuff was well established....sometimes you just can't win. Everyone who blogs is at some point or another is a troll, especially if you go on a article where the main discussion came down already and you basically "troll" the comments to see what was said. That's trolling, but it's a good form of trolling not someone trolling to make trouble. I am a news junkie so politics I am more likely to click on, I clicked on a couple post about Indians, that interest me because my sons are part Indian therefore there's a lot of Indian relation, I researched the stuff before commenting on one article they did and another came from research and personal experience but because it didn't fall within the hate CPS agenda and was based on facts I was the bad guy. She may have not of liked what I said but after awhile someone has to say hey enough it enough, be honest, don't pacify for the sake of hating...reach for the truth.
It is frustrating, I know how you feel. I wish it was easy finding resolve and I also agree that you cannot just keep quiet if you know something is not true. People must be mature enough to accept a mistake and move on.
Attacking readers who actually support you is not the way to go.
