@sneak I may not agree with your flagging. But it is within your right to do it. I am personally grateful that the proverbial paper trail is left in Steemit. I am very curious as to what you described "multiple demonstrably false statements." Would you care to elaborate on even one of those if not multiple as you have claimed? I don't have stake in this either way, but if you have proof that @clarityofsignal has lied or fabricated claims it would vindicate your actions before all of us.
If you refuse to elaborate on your accusations logic would force us to assume that you rather than him/her are the one making "demonstrably false statements." So please just tell us what they are. I'm really not trying to call you out, and I am choosing my words carefully. I don't want to earn the wrath of others, but if there are "demonstrably false statements" please by all means demonstrate them. That way we will not be lead astray with false information. If you or your buddies flag my comment everyone will just assume that you are unable to back up your statements.
I suppose you could ignore it and pretend you never saw it, that would also allow you to save face. But personally I would rather you just give us your proof. That way we can all go about our merry way enlightened by this whole situation. I guess I'm old school and like people to back up the words they speak. I personally will do this and state my case, or I will admit that I spoke out of turn. Please be a man of honor, and grant us one of these.
No.
Which is it? Is it my right to flag however I want, or do I require your approval and/or vindication to downvote lies?
Thank you, for the reply.
By every means you can vote however you please. No ones permission is needed. I merely meant vindication by it's definition.
You are not required to back up your claim if you choose not to. But just as anyone can vote or flag who they please, others are free to think what they will of those actions. Giving evidence in support of their case would vindicate these actions in the minds of others.
I'm not a fan of compelling others to do things outside of their will.
I thank you for your frankness and honesty. I hope you have a wonderful day.
What if it's not lies?
