@hiroyamagishi, this is wonderful but I don't think @berniesanders is doing anything wrong. For some people steem is a crypto investment. I don't think we should punish individuals who desire to act that way. I have found (in my steem journey) that when first starting I upvoted myself mostly. I was trying to make $$ and felt this was important. Now that I have accumulated more steem I am more likely to upvote others. I think this is all normal human behavior. But to demonize self voting will cause some people to avoid the platform which will is negative in the long run

Don't get me wrong, I upvote hundreds of posts and comments every day. I also follow every vote from @helpie with my trail. I am not using ALL of my voting power on myself and in this case I was attempting to use my voting power to fund some independent development for Steem which caused @fulltimegeek to start flagging me.
imo you guys are both on the same team, and you can work this out peacefully... both of you care about this place, and in your own way do the best that you can for it.
I'm extremely grateful to the both of you for the support, and so are thousands of other people on this platform.
The ball is in his court. He is the one unwilling to chat at this point.
Dear @meno, please look at this post:

Why Bernie should not be upset with such attack without any reason?
You can speak on him peacefully, I do not think self-upvoting is bad at all. Buying Steem is a way to promote your stuff or others. Please don't easily throw some bad words stuff, all things will work out fine if we will work together for the common goal in mind. Peace!
Apologies for the profanity, but it gets the point across.
