Life is well, thank you for asking.
I believe you may have misunderstood me (my fault for not being more descriptive) when you said
One of the main reasons (imo), that we've 'suddenly' found ourselves living in this insane asylum (the real world ), is the willingness to 'walk away' from battles - thus letting evil triumph in doing so.
False - imo...We ignored the fed res, we ignored the proliferation of marxist doctrine in universities, we ignored, we ignored,....see what I mean?
Let me demonstrate how while I also share where I post sometimes now.
Here is my sharing what has happened with you while discussing the realities of a stake based chain and its implications for adoption.
Here is my comparison of stake based social chains a couple of months ago.
Please also look at this post, as I SEO optimized that one. Many of the links (please look as well at the ones I mention in my comment section) are ranked either first on Google or in the first couple).
Of course, I can't forget this gem I wrote 4 months ago after one of the flag happy dickheads from here came to Blurt whining because he was unable to flag away rewards there on anothers post.
So what I meant when I said ignore them would have been better phrased as saying ignore them in the small confines of their cult-ure and instead do so OUTSIDE of their cult-ure. By walk away, I meant once again, not to engage with them within their small area of complete control, instead focusing on the vast area beyond their stake based domination.
They really need no help in exposing the flaws here. They thrive daily by targeting someone to mob up on and attack. Your absence here, if you were to so choose, would in no way decrease their willingness to give numerous new examples for one to highlight to the outside world. They NEED to feed that fire that burns within them that they are in complete control and can flex that stake as they see fit and there isn't shit anyone can do about it. WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THEIR SMALL CULT-URE THAT IS.
As you can see they are limited in their vision on what the possibilities are OUTSIDE of their small ecosystem here, better known as the real world. That larger world where they are spending money on advertising, which will prompt newcomers to begin researching Hive and social block chain. Where those people outside researching will promptly find MY COMPARISON post and its demonstrations on just how the proof of stake dynamic works here.
This is really long winded now, and I prefer not using Hive. I only have in the last year to let others know of Blurt, and then again to have this gesture with you. I've always liked you, and seeing how they attacked POB to get at you evidently touched a nerve in me enough to reach out to you here.
I wish to close by saying Blurt has issues as their team is very small. They don't have the initial mining monies that Steem/Hive was able to suck out of investors. What they do have is no downvote theft, and is being run by folks who believe in freedom of speech and personal dignity. However, as with all stake based systems, the flaws of the large stakeholders will show. They just don't have the ability to lift others stake based votes if they disagree there.
They really need no help in exposing the flaws here. They thrive daily by targeting someone to mob up on and attack.
I THINK I'M IN A GOOD POSITION TO ILLUSTRATE THIS...

Oh, I'm well aware of that. I'm happy to take the arrows (been fired on for last 3 months on every post, why worry now?)
