Nothing major. A guy made an "I quit and you're all scum so join me in selling all your tokens and leave with me" post awhile back. I downvoted it because he thinks it's worthless, painted everyone with a broad brush, plus there's no point in paying someone for quitting. The downvote was worth a buck and some change; nothing much. Somehow that was converted into me being the biggest villain on the planet; I was blamed for his departure even though the quit post came before the downvote, and I was even blamed in a smear/hit piece for the value of Hive dropping, in so many words. Painted me as an evil psycho out to destroy the platform, all in attempt to lure/mislead the quitter over to their platform with the hopes of gaining something by using his somewhat large market to their advantage. Could possibly be one of the most disgusting examples of humanity I've seen so far. I'm unfazed by it. Just something that happened, which I saw coming days in advance. Was trolled for days, lied to several ways. Me pointing out a lie and questioning it was what set them off.
He quit because of a couple downvotes that rolled in before the "I quit post." I had nothing to do with that. It wasn't him putting up the fuss about the downvote I put there. It was a crew of vultures that saw it as an opportunity to make Hive look bad and their platform look good. They've been doing it for months. They'll pounce on potentially vulnerable people and convince them they're being attacked by downvotes, if they're being downvoted, then lure them over to their project which is a clone of steemit, then of course they want them to powerdown Hive and convert to their tokens.
I left Steemit because the person that bought it lied.
I came to Hive because someone I trust, and still do to this day, told me I would always have a place to write and be me.
Every other chain that has tried to make it that forked or duplicated from Hive/Steemit has never worked or has the same problems as we do here but worse.
I do not think the grass is ever greener than the original. Something I follow in life and ....now blockchains.
If he got upset about being downvoted, those crappy tokens are not so crappy, eh?
I always hated 'I am leaving' posts anyway cuz, to me, they are just a post so someone can be asked to stay unless it is for health and family reasons...that is a whole different thing.
But to make a post about 'I am taking my crayons and going to play alone in the corner' is someone looking for attention.
And we have already established you are not evil. That is just silly. Anyone that has read your blog knows you are not.
People can easily at least make the attempt to settle their disputes with healthy communication. Instead they're furious someone said no to them and can't take it. I think that's what it boils down to. Wrote a post about it.
Forget about them and just let this be your happy place again. A place you can come be creative and yourself. Where you are free to let that side of you be free.
It is. However, the people and influences involved have sour grapes, and it goes back several years. I stood up for myself and the people enjoying my work after being knocked down. Once those types become exposed, rage sets in and they become hellbent on revenge, even though it was their mistake that started the chain of events. It's a textbook case. I can get back into my groove, but they won't stop. The blockchain backs up a lot of the evidence; chain of events and whatnot. I don't mind paying attention to it and I have good reasons to. The easiest way to get stabbed in the back is to turn your back to the knife. Best defense is to simply present a shovel then watch and analyze how they bury themselves; figuratively speaking, of course. That type digs and claws their way out, just to do it all over again; that gets analyzed. Then you start noticing the patterns and players. For me it's fascinating. Those types, no matter what, cannot stop themselves and have no way of knowing why everything falls apart around them or how to fix it. They'll just blame someone else, go right back to digging the hole.

if he is leaving and made a post about it he should not care if it's downvoted.

I guess I need to go read a post :D
I'm leaving the events, name, and people involved out of it. They're not worth talking about. It's whatever.
shhhhhhhhhh
I am reading this really cool post that ryhmes
No, they are not.
Forget about them and just let this be your happy place again. A place you can come be creative and yourself. Where you are free to let that side of you be free.
Isn't that what this should be all about?
