So you flagged his comment I wanted to reward because he shared a war story that he's most likely not proud of and probably spent years of self care getting over? I'm not sure what you mean by a "bad vibe", but I had lunch and dinner with him yesterday and we talked about real ideas, not fringe conspiracy theories.
Come on man. Please save your flags for actual abuse of the blockchain. I have no interest in Donald Marshall. Please remove your flag on his comment and have respect for people you disagree with.
I flagged his comment because I don't see any value in it, not because I disagree with it. If you want to reward him, you should probably pay him out of your own pocket and not abuse the blockchain. The following comment had a pending payout of $17 when I flagged it down to $1:
Thank you for explaining the flag. As mentioned in the post, I have paid him 0.02 BTC out of my own pocket and wanted to upvote this comment with a full vote to thank him for spending the time to comment on this post even with his busy schedule. That brought it to around $7. It seems others agreed and voted it up another $10. If the comment was made by someone you support, do you think you still would have flagged it?
I don't abuse upvoting worthless content and this was a rare exception for me to give a full vote to a comment. Either way, thanks for explaining your flag.
