I find them to be reasonable as well but also extremely quick to be dismissive. I generally don’t get triggered easily anymore which is probably how I’ve managed to stay out of trouble . But I can completely empathize with people who get upset to see one persons downvote cancelled out all the gifts they’ve received, and I really don’t like how easily they are dismissed for being a little upset about it. It certainly feels like some people are immune to downvotes while others are not and there just a few who decide this. I try not to get involved but Kenny has helped out so many people. I do think he’s being too emotional about it but I want to come to his defense.
This dismissive attitude is the single issue I have with acid as I think he’s one of the strongest pillars of the community and a super solid guy from everything I know of him.
I really do not think @acidyo has been dismissive about any of these downvotes. I see him all over on posts trying to have conversations about why he is doing what he is. Whether I agree with him or not. that is not the point here...
so to say he has been dismissive I have to disagree.
After reading his comment below I understand. I forget he’s having this conversation constantly. I just didn’t like some of the accusations he made against two people in particular but I don’t think I can imagine having to deal with the things he deals with either. It’s probably easy to stereotype people based on their emotional reactions
Correct!!
In my defense it's been ongoing for months, things many don't see is that some of these people's supporters are the lowest of lowest scum who go around chasing your comments to leave some nasty things such as irl death threats and other nice stuff!
Some in this instance may indeed be just one experience - we don't know. You use a lot of generalizations. You may well have had a bad experience here or there but understand this is not a good method to blanket the rest of the people you consider to be 'truthers'.
You will find people on here who will be brash and honest - those are the people you can trust more.
When people start to suck your arse just because you've got cash or influence - be very careful.
Generally a lot of people in this world that make it to a position of influence have major insecurities - they have justified their insecurities by attaining a level of power and control over their reality in order to make sure they don't experience pain again.
We need to come down from the towers we have put ourselves in and face the trauma that affects the remainder of our experience in this world.
Urgh I get it now. You must be tired as fuck. I will try not to bother you about this anymore. Just be careful about stereotyping whiny babies based on your past experiences with the worst of them. It’s a grind out there.
Sometimes I wish we were more like friends but I know I’m too hippie woo woo for you 😢. I’m really moved by your patience to explain to me after you explain to so many other people. Thanks bro. ❤️
You know what else is annoying, while I'm here?
People who disagree with my downvotes or opinions and take it out on my witness, I mean it's fine in a way, but what it does is that the others just sit silently and do or say absolutely nothing while getting no backlash from it. There's some top 20 witnesses which if you look at their personal accounts you'd think Justin Sun murdered them during the Steem fork and they've handed the accounts over to someone who only knows how to power down and sell. It's quite annoying that on top of attempting to protect the reward pool you also get some crazies going around proxying other people's witness votes in the name of "freedom", "liberty" and "anti-censorship" and get you unvotes for being here active and trying to turn this into a better and fairer place. People should really reconsider how they vote for their witnesses, sure main thing is to produce blocks and not be bought out by bad actors but come on, show a little more willingness to do more than just that.
Well I’ll think about how to promote your witness a little more. We need witnesses who are willing to discuss and defend their positions rather than be dismissive.
Yeah I agree, and I can be a baby too. I have no problem accepting when I've been wrong and apologize, though, something others rather die than do. Like when I lumped @truthforce in with some others the other day.
I'm a pretty stand up guy when it comes to it, stand up as in joking around and funny a lot. I love comedy stuff and gaming.
If you ever want to play something sometime hit me up, i posted some game clips on another comment to you the other day. I'm top tier in many FPS games :)
I think it's really hard to have text conversations back and forth online, it's a lot easier to game with someone and talk. I think if me and you had an audio chat we would both see we agree with eachother in a lot of ways.
Me too, he's been doing great work on the chain and sincerely I personally know that with the OCD onboarding initiative
Ah! come on @acidyo, let's be clear here for a moment.
In my opinion you can downvote whatevah you want with your own stake. But from the very instant you are using other people's stake (as so many times you have accused others of doing the same) to more effectively please your whims to the point of "zeroing" the potential rewards of others through the use of OCDB, OCD and whatnot. You immediately become the target of those death threats and ill will from your victims. Simply, because from that same moment you've already penetrated and entered into the dangerous territories of the thug life.
So, no wonder that many of the lowest of lowest scum (as you call em) will be so willing to kick your little downvoter ass as hard as they can virtually or IRL. Just think about it!
