Yeah these things are weird situations. I’ve seen a few people just up and disappear one day and have never been back. Really sad because they were solid users! Ultimately this is the online world and the physical takes precedence over this, so people do what they have to.
The down vote thing is incredibly difficult and frustrating. I know there’s a lot of “freedom” to do with your stake what your want but the people who bully others for months on end with down votes because they have a significantly higher stake than someone else, and just do it to be spiteful are frustrating. Have a disagreement and zero out one MAYBE two posts but let bygone’s be bygones and leave them alone. If they aren’t a scammer just don’t look? Really wild dude!
At the same time reflexive power down when you get a little disagreement is pretty silly too. Have a little more of a spine to ya!
You're absolutely right when you say this. Infact this is bitter truth. Sometimes people can just disappear afterall the real world is where real life problems can take over or have a significant impact on how we show up here. Perhaps a time will come where we will all be less present here and even everywhere else too.
As for the downvoters. It's really saddening. I wish there are things that can be done for people to understand that they can settle things without choosing chronic downvoting.
Unfortunately the second poster is a legit member of this chain from 2017 I think and shouldn't be treated that way.
