I'm sorry, this guy's really bugging me. He first lied about being a woman, and is now lying about things that I've said.
Edit: I've reversed my thinking and downvotes, see here: https://steemit.com/life/@libertyteeth/okay-i-was-wrong-reversing-my-downvotes-sorry
I'm not even sure I want to call attention to this attention-seeker. The user is sift666 (not making it a link). The lying post he made is https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@sift666/i-am-new-to-steamit
In this comment to "his peeps" he says:
The guy that did it hasn't earned much, but has put $37 000 of his own $ into his wallet. And he likes to go round saying things like "I'm half whale and I'll take care of this"
Which is flat-out wrong! I never said that, although I do remember one of my followers saying something similar. He's mis-attributing that quote to me, which is wrong. The first part is accurate, I did invest in this platform because I saw merit, apart from accounts like that one.
Later he says:
I'm wondering if we will see more of this in the future - hope not, I'm perplexed how he ever got that much money in the first place - and why on earth did he follow me? - Life is full of mysteries!
Perhaps this account had said something I found interesting, and I followed it. Now it's saying much-less-than-interesting things, so I unfollowed. And to be perplexed at how someone else obtained their resources? (A small portion of my resources!) Sounds like someone with envy issues.
I don't want to continue communicating with this liar. Satirist? No, satire doesn't put itself forth as something that it's not -- especially when it's called out!
He responded to my initial comment with "Yep you got me, my boobs are fake... Will you still sleep with me?" and another picture. That doesn't seem honest to me. He can do whatever he wants, of course, but I prefer to have honesty on this platform. Am I wrong?
I know my concussions lead me to be tremendously irritable and also forgetful. Did I say the things he's saying I said? Am I internalizing his lying ("satire") inappropriately?
I appreciate your feedback.
That guy is an opportunist and you caught him in his lie. Sure his close followers might know he tries to do satire but everybody else that doesn't know him from Adam will likely believe, upvote and follow his fake introduceyourself post with a sexy girl. He understands the trick he perpetrated on the Steemit general population and the awards pool (not one tag or remark alluding to satire before @libertyteeth first commented). You on the other hand are an investor that put his money and energy into the Steemit community for the mutual benefit and exchange of ideas for yourself and other users. The charlton who came like a thief in the night should be exposed and sanctioned for his abhorrent behavior. The worst thing he has done is to criticize an investor in our platform for requesting fair play. You put your own hard earned resources here and I am grateful to have you aboard. I think most users can see through the lies and twisted logic that this guy is using. If he doesn't want people to join and invest their own money in Steemit then why is he here? Just to suck it dry and get what he can before it implodes?
Thank you. This response is the reason I posted this. I am feeling horrible internally right now dealing with this charlatan and his responses (and his upvoting comments on this post!) -- he's been on this platform for a year and I've managed with my concussions and ineptness to amass more followers than him in two months??!? WTF? Okay it's bedtime, I'll stop now, maybe I don't understand all the metrics here. Have a great night @otage, thanks.
I have never come across the things he said you said. I think the guy is really envious of your success. Daz all.
People can be mean and envious. I'm sorry that you too got caught by this bug.
Have better moments soon. Aloha!
thank you so much for all your efforts in this platform
just ignore him , this is great platform andwe have to protect this awesome community
i will always support you @libertyteeth!
Ok, I am going to be honest with you here... I looked into the post and his account and he seems nothing but a honest guy. I think you totally misinterpreted the situation. If you take a look at his other posts they are all legit, and not only that, they are of excellent vocabulary. Which proves that this specifc post was of nothing more than satire. Yes it would have been a wise move if he had stated that in his post...but it still doesn't change the fact it was ment as satire. As for the comment you are addressing here, it was ment towards the person that made this kind of posts originally, the one he was copying for his satire article. So it whasn't addressed towards you. And in fact, you just got him a new follower as he seems to have some interesting posts.
I thought about your comment all night and have made a change in my thinking. https://steemit.com/life/@libertyteeth/okay-i-was-wrong-reversing-my-downvotes-sorry
Thank you for your feedback and your comment on my above post, you saw it before I could respond here. :)
You might be right, but i think the person in question should explain what you said about the issue by himself bcos even if you saw it has nothing, you still don't know what the guy was really thinking.
He did...
I enjoy following your blog @libertyteeth, but @sift666 laid that on extremely thick from the first sentence, and I actually thought it was pretty funny. If someone fails to notice the over-the-top character described in that story and falls prey to their "help get bigger boob so her boyfriend can commit", that will probably be the least of their worries.
The only thing he's guilty of (as are you with this post) is abusing the
#introduceyourselftag. He could have easily misspelled it to the same effect without wasting the time of people genuinely trying to discover new users.He's been on the platform for a year. Introducing himself as a hyperbole-laden stereotypical scam account to his followers isn't meant to hurt anyone.
Thanks, I have changed my mind now: https://steemit.com/life/@libertyteeth/okay-i-was-wrong-reversing-my-downvotes-sorry
The only reason I used the "introduceyourself" tag on this post was because I wanted to "correct the record" in case others had seen his post. I've now fixed this post to not be in that tag.
