RE: Who is the mini Whale @tuck-fheman .. Why is does he Threaten minnows? Flag bully alert
I saw the original post I agree with you in that it seemed a bit obnoxious. Maybe this is my opinion only, but downvoting.... I tend to reserve that for content that is fraudulent, spam or abusive in nature. I also agree (before you even say it!) that what he was doing... you could make an argument that it is abuse. I also think that the argument should be made. In a post is great... open it up and bring it attention. I am sure there's other avenues as well that offer an option. It's been stated in posts though... that if in fact it is abuse of the platform in a way that was unintended or unplanned for. It serves to correct the system and the rewards they've garnered can be considered a "bug bounty".
Yes I was intentionally obnoxious to make a point. The point being, I can upvote anyone I damn well please. I can protect my comments from downvote trolls, I can upvote my own comments to move them to the top, this is nothing new and has been practiced since the inception of Steemit.
If someone makes a wise comment about me moving our conversation to the top so everyone can see it over everything else (because it was a pertinent discussion and everything else was mainly noise) then that's what I will do and what others do routinely.
Being called out like I've done something wrong for moving our conversation to the top was what drew my sarcastic response. If you really want to see obnoxious, scroll back a few months in Steemit history to see real whales giving themselves hundreds of dollars for their own comments for no apparent reason. I was simply making a point that the guy was being a wise ass for no reason and that I have the right to upvote whoever I want, even myself to move the conversation up.
thank you for taking some time reply in an adult manner..... you are classy.
This tuck guy sent me a penny and told me pretty much to watch my back.....for the record ..I don't care if Tuck down votes the content I post.... I have enough influence in the off line world to fill my ego up...I grateful you took the time to read the comments to the link I posted.... and thank you for writing back something that was adult . Tuck was making it look like I went on some down vote rampage
