I already gave you ONE response. Please stop pretending like you're taking the high road. The artist that created that image is a REAL PERSON (me) with over FIVE YEARS of work published here with tens of thousands of comments and tens of thousands of responses from REAL PEOPLE. There's nothing FAKE about me. I'm not trying to HIDE.
I don't like seeing people get bullied. Period. I will stand up for myself. Period. If I wanted or needed your help, I'd ask.
Think what you may. I see you as someone who is calm and collected. That is why I decided to speak to what I have taken the time to see play out here on this post. I wanted to take this opportunity to speak what I saw as a contributing factor… and I also wanted to acknowledge the faults in all the name calling and posturing I have seen from the author of this post. I believe that I understand you both. I’m not trying to take the high road… I am making a conscious decision (after reading all that I have) to take the high road. I see much of the trouble happening on Hive as a problem we see on a lot of other social platforms. The answer isn’t in the outer extremes… it is rather a relative one. This is why I wanted to speak to this topic and I hope that you can see I am bringing some level of respect back into the conversation so many took time to be a part of. I’ll respond to your longer comment later (and only if I am able to find the time.) Speaking of which… thank you for your time and attention.

Pssst! Wil! You don't need to tiptoe around me and be so damn delicate. It's annoying! Not impressive. (relax. just being facetious)
Just being me my friend. It’s not delicate but you seem to be annoyed by it. Well! Whatever! 🤷♂️
Bye Felicia!
Must I place a disclaimer here indicating 'joke' again so you don't hand me another pamphlet on how to be?
Your other comment would not indicate your lighthearted nature… but ok! I’ll bite. Is this your way of defusing the things that were already put in play? Humour is always good so long as your not making light of serious things. Again though… that’s just my take. Time and place right?
I'm multifaceted, I suppose. I'd much rather joke and around and shoot the shit with people; have fun. I take serious matters seriously. I can easily disagree with folks and not hold a grudge. Don't let this monster picture fool you. It took a lot of years to be able to create art that can make an impact. It's really easy for me to see who focuses on superficial nonsense and that tells me a lot about them without them saying anything.
Stop looking at the surface. Take the time to read some of my work someday, or the comments underneath. No tricks, no gimmicks.
I certainly will! I have nothing but respect for the artistic process and the journey that an artist made to reach their current pinnacle. I’m the sort that does dive deeply especially when it comes to word power, art, and the wider implications that most miss because they are taking things 1 comment and 1 post at a time.
So yes.
I’ll be checking out your past posts.
There’s nothing wrong with having the fun approach. I do think posts like this can loose that aspect of what it means to effectively social.
I believe that, with social, he/she who has the most fun wins.
Thank you for taking the time to tell me a little bit about yourself. 👍
