RE: There is a quick way to lose my sympathy and agreement... censor me.

I dunno. Censorship on a single page, by it’s user, seems like an acceptable level of censorship. If Hive accounts are analogous to private property, the owner has a right to silence whom they please. I wouldn’t tolerate certain behavior or language in my home or business. Same applies here. I think censorship is an actual problem when it becomes system wide, as in a blacklist or something like that. Also, there’s the option to expand the comments / alerts, so you’re not really censored in a hard way at all. I say this without condemning you or condoning him. Trying to speak to a principle here.

Sort:  

SO tell me what I said that deserved to be concealed from other people without them needing to expand it?

Personally, I don't think anything contained in your responses warrants hiding, but then again, I'm not the OP. I can't get in their head.

This is true. I wouldn't expect you to be a mind reader. I simply see nothing in what I wrote that warrants concealing it from other people. Especially since I didn't attack anyone, bad mouth anyone, etc.

If I had bad mouthed people I could see that as justification and I likely would not have responded with this post.

I don't like the down vote. This post is my answer to that. I down vote using words. Fortunately it is very rare that I even feel the need to do this.

I would be miffed as well, but it's probably a good thing in the long run. Now you won't waste your time with them. If there's anything I've learned real hard this past couple of years is that when someone tells you who they are, believe them. I think this person has kind of done that. Better to have fun elsewhere.

Yes too true. I also try to give them the benefit of the doubt. Yet in this case I am likely just blowing into the wind.
