This post is the follow up to the main question asked in the post What Do You Think of Steem Basic Income (SBI)? Many of you did reply with most in favor of SBI, while a few were "on the fence" about SBI, and maybe a few others were totally against it. Ultimately I did receive an answer from the @mmmmkkkk311 who actually inspired that initial question and post.

I did read all the replies, and had a few follow up comments with a few of the Steemians, especially those who were either on the fence about SBI or against it. What I did learn is that there are many in the Steem Blockchain community who favor Steem Basic Income for the support it provides to Steemians, especially for the smaller/newer Steem accounts. I tend to feel the same way because that is why I chose to use SBI. I am relatively new to SBI, but I have sent some SBI shares to those that I felt could use the support, and have recently even delegated to further support the project.

Those that had concerns, as I came to learn from those replies, is that of Steem users abusing the SBI project. I explained to those few that those concerns really are mostly "if" scenarios, and according to one Steemian who is "on the fence" in regards to SBI, even agreed that the SBI project(and its founder) are pretty diligent in dealing with any reported abuse of the SBI project.

Yet, of all those that are not in favor of SBI, it seems that there is really only one account (& its minion accounts) proactively taking action against the STEEM BASIC INCOME project, by downvoting in order to demonetize rewards from posts that are supported by the SBI project. Some feel that the MK311 account is bullying other Steemians because MK311 threatens with down votes if using or supporting SBI does not stop.

This is my attempt to explain to @mmmmkkkk311 that there are many here on the STEEM blockchain that support SBI, and that many of us feel SBI to BE A GOOD THING (but not perfect) for Steem. Many of us also feel that the downvoting actions of the MK311 account are actually more harmful than any abuse of SBI ever could be. That is why I am KINDLY asking you, @mmmmkkkk311, to PLEASE refrain from down voting Steemians due to an "OPINION" and NOT FACTS of Abuse, or plagiarism or any other act that the Steem Community deems inappropriate or harmful to the Steem Blockchain. You are Down Voting based on your Opinion that the SBI project is, as you stated, "a milking project."

You didn't develop your answer other than to say SBI is a "milking project" and then threatened with "Remember that everyone who is trying to get more than curation reward from SP at the end of the day will be downvoted." The problem with this statement MK311 is that you then need to Down Vote Yourself and Everyone else on the Steem blockchain because by this logic, EVERYONE holding STEEM POWER (SP) GETS APR as well, which is Not Curation.

Now to further dissect your story and logic..... I am not sure how true it is because I have not done the homework, but it seems that You, MK311, have your own down voting bot following you around. And the bot also comments, and it states that Your account is angry due to the recent Hard Fork/s that made a bid bot you owned stop working, and therefore you are now resentful and Jealous of SBI project because yours failed or was decommissioned. Since you downvote this comment, maybe so others won't see, I am sure to include it here in this post for ALL TO SEE. (down below after my name)

sbi owned by mk311 account

Now, to continue with your Account and the irony (some might call hypocrisy since at one point you possibly owned a bid bot). MK311, your account Actually has 93 Steem Basic Income units to its name, so You can Start by Down Voting Yourself!

Next, your 100% up vote for @therealwolf should be a Down Vote because he has SBI shares. Your 50% UP VOTE FOR @lenasveganliving should be a Down Vote because she has 62 SBI's.
@hallmann 50% Up Vote 3 SBI
@dorotti 50% Up Vote 1 SBI
@worldcapture 25% UP Vote 15 SBI
@richq11 50% Up Vote 15 SBI

And there are more.... BUT in all reality I DO NOT WANT YOU TO DOWN VOTE THESE accounts either or any other undeserving Steem accounts.... I am just pointing out the fact that there are many that you up vote that have SBI including yourself. ULTIMATELY, I believe you hurt your MK311 account just as much as you hurt mine, as you hurt others with all the negativity going around with these down votes. There are claims that some have left Steem because of this situation, which again, hurts All of US, including yourself.

I don't plan on backing down. I plan to continue supporting SBI as long as I believe it to be a good thing in helping others. Should there be a better way, or should someone open my eyes to something I am missing I will listen,

But when Push Comes to Shove, I can bring a bulldozer if need be!

And I think there are probably a few others out there willing to help with the dozing too.

Steem Army Roll Call - sound off!

@mmmmkkkk311 is attempting to use his flags to intimidate Steemians into abandoning their support for @steembasicincome.

He baselessly claims it is a "ponzi scheme" which just shows that either he doesn't understand how it works or (more likely) he just doesn't understand what a ponzi scheme even is! And the blatant hypocrisy in him trying to fight "vote selling" when that is exactly what he did with his bidbot! As as bidbot owner with over a dozen alt accounts he is in no place to judge what is right or wrong here on Steem. Now he is mad that his scam has ended. So like an upset child, he has decided to take out his anger (caused only by his own failures) on other innocent people. Making him nothing more than a big bully!

I am here to counter @mmmmkkkk311's bullying. I will upvote every post/comment that he downvotes. You can support my anti bullying upvotes by delegating (links below) Steem Power to @ilovemk311. And you can help keep this message visible by upvoting this comment or by purchasing SBI shares for @mk311isabully which will help to counter the downvotes that @mmmmkkkk311 will surely send my way. Which I highly encourage him to do as the more downvoting power he wastes on me the less he can use to downvote the real content creators here on Steem that would otherwise become his victims!

I ask YOU my fellow Steemians to help me take a stand for our Steem community.
With this jerk bullying innocent people we are seeing many great content creators leave due to the drama and negativity that @mmmmkkkk311's downvote campaign brings to the blockchain. While he claims he is trying to defend his investment he is actually unwittingly destroying it.

SBI is an initiative that has done nothing but help promote onboarding and community building here on the Steem blockchain. Let us not turn our back on it out of fear for getting downvoted. Instead lets stand up for this great initiative that has helped so many people and helped the Steem community to grow and thrive!

Thank you.
