It's not about me, now or ever. Folks interested in Steem are not entertained by the thought of being immersed in a community that would censure them as you have been me. It's dramatic all right, and that's not a benefit for most. I didn't come up with the idea that you suppress the value of Steem all by my little old self. I know you've encountered that claim before, because I've seen it at least twice today coming from other folks.
As to who instigated what, I'm not exactly sure what it is you're referring to. All I do know is that whenever there's a flag war, you're in the middle of it. I suppose it's possible that everyone else is always at fault, but I don't think either of us thinks that's so. At some point. when the same thing keeps happening to you, you need to realize it's not everyone else making it happen.
I was drunk as a skunk when this crap between us began, and I have no recollection of what set it off. However, I am absolutely sure that I didn't start it, because, drunk or not, that's not my way. There've been plenty of chances for me to react angrily and throw flags at you - and others - in the past, that I didn't take drunk or sober, because I have no interest in drama, or proving I'm better, smarter, or anything along those lines at all. Pretty sure if I'd been sober, you couldn't have sucked me into the drama. Despite our previous interactions, I only recall ever flagging you once before, and I think you approved, actually. Hell, I've thrown more flags today than I have in the entire rest of my life.
I don't like it actually. I'd much rather be upvoting folks adding to the content on Steem.
Fuck it. Imma get drunk again. Enjoy your evening.
At no point did I claim I'm never the instigator, it's just not the case this time.
And thank you for giving me credit for controlling the price of Steem. I think that's absolutely preposterous given the tiny % of stake I own, and says a lot about your lack of knowledge about Steem and crypto in general.
Since I never mentioned your stake, but only your bellicosity and venal libel, your reply constitutes retreat into a fantasy world that shields you from harsh reality. The truth is that reality is extant, whether you like it or not, and if you become willing to embrace it the personal esteem you have for yourself for undertaking that high ground will increase far more than admitting your extant self-revulsion.
Your lack of self-esteem is one of those real things. It actually exists, whether you acknowledge it or not, and it is by not acknowledging it that you perpetuate it. I encourage you to dispense with the blinders of arrogance and conceit that mask your self hatred, so that you can become competent to hold yourself in actual high regard.
It is sad that your very attempts to conceal from yourself the disgust you feel for yourself causes you to act narcissistically, and increase exponentially and publicly the very cause of that personal disregard.
Nothing I could do to you could be worse for you than your own disappointment in you causes you to experience. I don't even have words to express the depth of the pity I feel for you. I can't recall a more vivid example of self delusion, self disregard, and an interior landscape more evocative of Mordor, hell, or such fantastic and hallucinatory wasteland of despair.
It is that constant industriousness you exhibit that best reveals the poignancy of your suffering, since what it reveals is the incessancy of your need to actively lash out at the world to continue the pretense of denial of your own utter lack of personal and social value.
No matter how fast and hard you dig, you will never climb out of the hole of self despite you create, because it is the digging you do itself that creates the hole.
