RE: De-escalating steemit elders (Part 1); an open letter to @ned and @officialfuzzy

in #deescalate7 years ago

I can understand your frustration. Thank you for airing it.

My first response is that there still in't any permanent harm that's been done by anyone here... yet. So, there are still several days to fix and help de-escalate the language and the conflict. If this isn't resolved by the time the post clears it'll be time for a different response, until then the point is to de-escalate everyone, and that includes you too.

Starting the repair with "Ned, you're a post rapist" isn't true, isn't going to de-escalate, and it won't help the platform. Yes, Ned flagged a post that includes whaletank, and that has the potential to harm all the people that upvoted the post and all the people that would have benefitted from that. That's real harm, and that's real damages. The post hasn't ended though so, this is still repairable. Let's work on that.

I'm pretty sure the flag wasn't specific to whaletank. It's not specific to Fuzzy wanting to build. I'm speculating, but I'm willing to risk saying that I think the flag was placed when Fuzzy decided to air some of his grievances with Ned publicly on air. Ned isn't dropping random flags elsewhere, and he's not continuing to flag, so in this case it appears Fuzzy was escalating off chain and Ned was responding with on chain escalation.

If the post ends with the flag in place then the story and the language is different. But that hasn't happened yet, and me and the vast majority of this platform hopes that won't happen. If that's your goal too then I'm asking you to please turn down the amplitude of the language of your response. I know you guys are frustrated, and the people in whaleshares have a right to feel that way, but healing starts when we tone down and talk it out rationally rather than escalate the language or the actions taken.

Please stay with me bud. I believe this can be resolved peacefully and that will truly help build this community.

Hmm if your poin is based on beyondbitcoin last talk than i disagree , Fuzzy have sayd this months ago . In public in Discord and in other places also . So no .... is not the reason .The people in Discord are upset because we all think Ned wants to ruin one of the most helpfull projects in steemit . We all know now the story about ....... from day one ! Best solution will be talk but sadly the onse side deside to keep silence ...........

@aggroed wise comment indeed which I indicated earlier. Thank you so much for your comment-I agree.
My only hope is as you indiated is to resolve this issue peacefully without anoying anyside. And it will be done if we dont take sides or acuse anyone.Anger can lead to unrepairable mistakes, so do not act when you are angry, rather cool down first , think prudently before taking action....I indicated the same in my last blog post. I am optimistic that this issue will be resolved peacefully.
