RE: My Response to dantheman's downvoting campaign against me

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

I was initially impressed by @dantheman calling attention to ozchartart, because I really didn't know someone was making $40-$100 posts, multiple times a day.

But to be honest, I was more impressed by ozchartart's response, as detailed as it was..

It appears to me that public disagreement such as this should happen in private messages so people could have a chance to discuss things and come to an understanding if possible.

Not all dirty laundry needs to be aired out in the middle of the street with a bullhorn.

Or even better, RSVP to Fuzzy's BeyondBitcoin (every Friday) Mumble show, to hash things out.

The idea of "flag-then-explain" doesn't seem to be as effective as "ask-via-openletter-then-debate-then-take-flag-action-if-necessary"

Honestly, none of us should be here to alienate each other. All of us want to see the success of this platform, just everyone has a different opinion on what needs to happen to get there.

To flag, in internet speak, is saying that someone, an arbiter, an ultimate authority or all over the world known as simply ADMIN will examine something and come to a decision.
The verb to flag is not in line with any of these other conventional definitions:

verb
verb: flag; 3rd person present: flags; past tense: flagged; past participle: flagged; gerund or present participle: flagging
1
mark (an item) for attention or treatment in a specified way.(who's attention or treatment? marked? more like hidden and devalued)
draw attention to.More like draw attention away from. That it is unintentionally the opposite, because universe loves to fuck with assholes who tell people how to live is not the point.
charge (a player) with a penalty by dropping a penalty flag. RULES. rules (echo). After the TOS is discussed then maybe we can appoint some admins jklol..
2
direct (someone) to go in the specified direction by waving a flag or using hand signals.@danthecop
signal to a vehicle or driver to stop, especially by waving one's arm. @danflagwar
