RE: Can You Trademark a Steem Hashtag?
Acceptable? Yes. I would not care 2 cents.
To address tagging, it was relative because of prior engagements from all those users listed. Everyone on that list had directly engaged with the prior post about HastyMarkup. It is only natural that I would want to foster engagement for a brand that I am working on by asking the very people that had shown interest.
Since when has being vague in advertising been wrong?

- That was the first time I had ever used the tag.
- I did not know about the usage restriction
- Upon hearing about it, I respected the pull request, Immediately!
I already explained this is my first response comment.
One could argue you have done more harm than good in trying to foster engagement in this way, but it's your show. Personally I hate being tagged like this, I cannot speak for others.
I appreciate you respected the pull request on using #thewritersblock tag, I just wonder what you hoped to gain by this post, claiming
Hashtag Imperialism.Alright, noted sorry for mentioning you Gmuxx, I'll add you to my no fly list! 😉 Thank You for acknowledging that I respected the pull request. You're the first person that expressed appreciation. I never intended to ruffle feathers and tables turned me being a new user to the platform you to ought too be able to see my point of view. I was not aware of unexpressed usage restrictions.
My post above is not a declaration of war, LoL - cease fire!

The following is a parody to help shed more light on the issue. Yes it's in jest - I honestly do not care.
The usage of hashtags on my posts that I do not approve of is not in my self interest and as such, please remove your tag from this post.
Can you not see how this looks to other people? A post that I worked hard to build.
I can now see how wrong I was to write such a glowing review of your product.
If you can't see how this is wrong then I have nothing more to say to you.
Sorry about hurt feelings, @gmuxx Just calling it like I see it. In-groups will always hate the "Gadfly." Your desire to remove your review of my product once again showcases how deep rooted the mentality is. A problem that is not just here on Steemit, it is human condition, and as such, it is something that we all struggle with, myself included. I'm not better than the next guy. However, I do feel an obligation to stand up for Truth and at least question the things that I feel are wrong. Again, sorry, but many are often too scared to give honest criticism.
I have heard it said,
I hope this has not done so - it's was not intention.
I think he was expressing the opposite of appreciation. I'm in the same boat, it makes a post seem like spam mail by tagging people you have no relative interaction with prior.
And whatever organic engagement you may have created has since decided it wants nothing more to do with you or your product. A simple 'oops, my bad' would have sufficed, instead you decided to create drama. Great job.
