I’m not, in any way shape or form, suggesting that someone takes another’s voice away... I’m only saying that if your going to tell them what they can or can’t do with their own account... that’s, always going to come across as unfriendly. That’s what you did did you not? And not only that... you communicated that intent with downvotes AND words.
Spare me sermon, you downvoted me first before telling me your point of view and how unfriendly I'm doing while taking high ground morally policing my conduct. I'm saying there are consequences and those are the consequences he received for doing just that, I suggested he not do that and not escalate it further but was I granted a discussion prior to the downvotes I received from your alts? nah, you're too good for that.
Just saying don't pretend your shit don't smell and be whole prim and proper. I'm not really pissed about the downvotes I received, it's part of the whole downvoting someone means you're asking for flak in return and that's natural. What I don't subscribe to is being lectured that I got downvoted because I'm unfriendly and be told what to do because I told someone else what to do, just who do you think you are trying to be that imposing some virtues on me preaching how downvotes shouldn't be thrown like that and people should discuss things yadayada. You never gave me that audience when you pressed the button bruh, don't, you just made the call to tag my comments unfriendly to your taste and then we had this long post discussion afterwards. Spare me the hypocrisy.
Freedom is great... until it is used to try and take away someone else’s freedom.
Didn't take their freedom, not capable nor interested in it. I just told them the situation from my perspective and it's up to them to make their move. Even encouraged them to try and reach the people and not further antagonize to make things worse. I was expecting they'd double down or just go find the best way for conflict resolution.
You are setting up a new friendly policy? how should the organization be labelled? Friendlywatchers? mean comments are to be downvoted and anyone who disagrees is unfriendly. Sorry I don't downvote your replies on me even If I disagree with what you're saying and to me, you're really being unfriendly right now. Your turn moral police.
You can receive it our not. It’s up to you. I my doesn’t matter to me.
You gave some pretty less than great reasons for downvoting this post... it shouldn’t surprise you then to receive the same in kind.
It doesn’t matter to me if you want to hear me out or not. No problem either way... I just wanted to give you a definitive reason why I decided to counter your downvotes and also give you some of your own medicine.
It’s not right that you would be rewarded for being unfriendly... and that’s how the cookie crumbles.
Social Capital swings both ways... and seeing what I saw today in your comments and realizing that this post had been downvotes for some very shitty reasons... I decided to step into the gap and actually do something about it.
I don’t think that this can be held against me... and I think that the owner of this post appreciates my efforts.
Well... that’s it for me.
I can no longer afford to give you my time and attention.
So long and good luck here on Hive.

I'm the only one who gets the downvote carpet bomb because I'm a pleb and unfriendly, well some did but they're also plebs. I think you read my question about the roll of the dice and how others are more equal to receive those downvotes. You can read between the lines and I know you know what I mean. So when @amirl only commented "valid points" they were being unfriendly when their prior statement was questioning and disagreeing with my take on the matter? @amirl did nothing wrong but expressed his opinion and you downvoted them because you deemed them unfriendly. You didn't event discuss with them why you downvoted them too, stop with the high ground.
If I spent all my time doing that... I would be up all night... oh! Wait a second! I have stayed up all night. Discussing this with you. That’s more respect than I have given anyone in a very long time. How many people do you know who would spend time having a difficult conversation with someone... all night long.
It’s now 5:44am where I’m located. I’ve done my best to get through to you as to why this is so important...
The rest is up to you to consider. None of this effects my long game... but I do believe it effects yours... and everyone on Hive ultimately.
All the best. TTYL?
Aye, it's around quarter to 8 in the evening here and the night is just starting, you get some rest first and come back a fresh to continue the dance. You haven't changed my stance on the matter, probably something along the lines of the initial impression of shooting first ask questions later then get preached about due process before shooting first. Our common ground is only trying to make Hive a better ecosystem and nothing else at the moment. Now this isn't really worth your time or my time but you're still welcome to ping me and I'll answer at the soonest possible. Prioritize your rest first. No need to force an argument while sleepy.
Thank you for being human. This says a lot about you actually. I do hope that we can reach an understanding at the very least. We may not agree but certainly we can find common ground... and that sacred space is on Hive, the place we all hang our hat and hold hopes for the future. Thank you for this response as it shows me the good in the time spent connecting here in the comments.
