RE: "You Didn't Earn That", Part II

in #freewill9 years ago (edited)

Calling women "bitches" for absolutely no reason and specifically saying things like "You better get on your knees and suck my cock" to unsuspsecting women on Steemit will continue to garner downvotes. Verbally raping women is not going to be tolerated on this platform. As long as he continues to hate, he receives downvotes. As long as he stalks certain women on Steemit, he will continue to receive downvotes. It's quite simple actually. Oh, and before you decide to upvote him, realize that I too have been verbally attacked. At one point Earnest said that "someone is sucking Stellabelle's cock." Think about it, I have the highest rep out of 50,000 people on steemit. The only 9 score. Do you think I deserve verbal abuse? I think not.

IMO it was inappropriate regardless of rep score. I actually agreed with earnest on the issue being discussed at the time -- its tragic that he let his emotions get the better of him. At this point, it makes little sense not to just start fresh with a new account.

As to the stalking accusation. I was following that situation to an extent (if im thinking of the same one, i know there were several conflicts involving earnest). The points he made certainly seemed cogent to me. I have no way of knowing if the user being discussed actually lived through all of the things she claimed to (including one copied and pasted form another website) but its certainly something that would appear suspect to a typical person looking at steem.

You decried catfish and other fraudsters as potentially fatal to the systenm in a recent post... you must realize that simple fact checking is the only way to protect against them.

Thank you @stellabelle. I was unaware of much of that history. I've seen some crude posts/replies from him, which I have have never hesitated to downvote, but none like you describe. He's also made some articulate reasoned comments in the past, which I haven't hesitated to upvote. I will make sure that I am discerning. Thanks again.

I'm glad you said something about this, because myself and many other female users have been victimized by this type of verbal abuse. From an outsiders perspective it seems like you condone that behavior when you upvote the perpetrator. Thank you for clarifying your standpoint.
