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
If family protection and information wars got censored then it just a good case of karma in my opinion. I made a comment the women who runs FP didn't like and she said she would ban me if she could but she'd flag me instead, then went and got a buddy over at IW to write a story about plagiarist with my name leading the top of the list with a comment they'd turn me into steemcleaners to have my account removed. The next thing I know steemcleaners is on me, I go there and prove that I had the authors permission to post her stuff, I even send her the SBD earned every month, IW was all good with that when I told them that when they questioned it but all of a sudden after the rift with his friend it wasn't. I spent two days defending myself. Ironic that IW is all about information getting out there that is censored then they turn around and try exactly that to me. So think twice before saying they do good work, what they do is portray one side of a story and if anybody goes against it they are against them. They are the embodiment of censorship here on Steemit.
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.
I am the founder of @familyprotection along with @markwhittam.
sunlit7 is a huge trouble maker for MANY people on Steemit which you will see if you go through her own comments/replies or read this post below.

Well that sucks to hear. It's just individuals being faulty. Even Martin Luther King Jr. had some terrible aspects in his life. Hopefully things would get better on an individual level and fix themselves up because those accounts are still doing more good than harm. Will they be perfect? I'm not sure about that. But they can certainly learn to get better.
Please ignore sunlit7. She is talking about me.
She likes to go around insulting people and doesn't understand how things work on Steemit.
She has thrown around all kinds of insults about me and familyprotection, and then complains of censorship when we ask her to stop leaving rude and unwanted comments.
I went ahead and read about an hour's worth comments. I was pretty surprised that @sunlit7 even managed to get flagged by @bigdude who has been one of the nicest people on steemit (which seemed like the first flag he has given) I'm not a fan of flagging unless it is spam or serious hate speech. But I won't blame you on this one. I can understand where you are coming from :-)
