RE: @pfunk Cenorsing Steemit.Chat To Minimize Criticism Of Steemit's Downtime
I think that you don't get it . . . .
"We scared a few new users"
@pfunk "didn't get the jokes" and was "Unable to comprehend the obvious satire"
I think that @pfunk likely did understand the satire but realized that many (particularly non-native speakers) might not -- particularly if they were new or reading fast.
You clearly have a lot of ego involved here (you wrote a freakin' post about this).
Whether this is or is not a big deal depends upon your perspective. Steemit is in beta! If it is fixed rapidly it is not a big deal (or, actually, a big deal in the positive sense).
Why do YOU feel the need to keep bringing this up? Why can't you just let it drop and go do something pro-social and positive for Steem?
"You clearly have a lot of ego involved here (you wrote a freakin' post about this)."
I was muted in the channel and have no other real form of appeal. So I wrote a post about it. It's a social network. Your not making much of a point here. I have an ego because I write on my blog? Okay so everyone here has an ego.
I was in there laughing with other users for hours waiting for it to come back up. That wasn't trolling, many laughs were had with those in the chat got real help and info that was being dispensed.
If you ask why is the site broken?
And I say the IRS seized steem and @ned and @dan have fled the country
Quickly followed up with info that there is a blockchain issue and you should wait am I doing a disservice no.
Whether or not it's a big deal is a matter of perspective like I wrote in the post it's subjective. I gave a reasoned opinion as to why my perspective made more sense. He didn't, he just muted me instead of entertaining any form of debate on the subject.
Why do I feel the need to bring it up? Because I'm still muted on the channel. Duh! Why wouldn't I bring it up and try and rally some support from my limited following? I made jokes and people laughed, I gave information and helped people, I had a difference of opinion with a mod. None of that merited a mute.
If you read my posts you'll see that I obviously care about the community and am contributing. Muting users like me isnt' a good way to continue growing the site.
Strongly agree that he should remove the mute. Have you asked him to? I am willing to add my voice to yours.
Still think that you aren't helping Steem by what you were doing though . . . .
Of course I have requested being unmuted. If he had unmuted me in a timely fashion then I wouldn't have written a post about it.
He didn't mute me for "trolling" he muted me for saying it was a "big deal". As pointed out in the chat room by others it was rather weak for a troll if that was my goal. Was it trolling when I was informing people that the blockchain was down and devs had been notified?
I only got muted for "trolling" after becoming serious and arguing that it was a big deal. I got banned for a valid opinion.
