RE: @berniesanders just pushed @trevonjb OFF Steemit! However...
I think if someone is renowned for dishonesty, unscrupulousness such as he is, then they should be targeted for community action.
I don't think pushing him off the platform is right though. I'd much rather see an overwhelming multitude of people going after him with solid counter-factuals and having those peoples contributions upvoted - i.e. seeing the better ideas / contributions win, rather than have him sent away.
Silencing of bad actors may be good in the short term, but in doing so we are sacrificing a master value of freedom of speech.
I agree that he should be targeted for his actions and also a discussion is normally the way to go.
However, it's hard to argue with someone who sees nothing wrong with scamming the innocent.
Furthermore, he lies and defends his innocence in an overwhelming sea of guilt.
Despite all that, I'm still not sure if pushing someone off the platform is the correct move haha
yeah he seems to have very few redeeming features.
