Had you any familiarity with my posts and comments, you'd realize that none of the negative traits you point out that justify flaggotry apply to me. I will specifically address only FTG here, because he has been upvoting me consistently for over a month now, and this is not because I have ever once supported the flagwar, spam, or similar influences on the Steem blockchain. In fact when the flagwar began I attempted to defend @themadcurator from flagging, and called for ending the spam directly to FTG. For that effort I received several flags - from bernie. I have since consistently decried the spam, and not once made any pretense that spam from any source is good.
Were bernie only flagging spammers, which, sadly, FTG seems to have exemplified more than any other account holder to date, or scammers, or self-voters, circle-jerkers, botvote buyers, and etc., I'd have no criticism. However, the exact opposite is true. Bernie exemplifies self-voters better than any other extant account holder of which I am aware. He practically single handedly created the vote bot industry. Spam? He may be second only to FTG presently.
My sense of why he flags is that none of those issues are relevant. The only reason he seems to flag anyone is narcissism: creating butthurt and drawing attention to himself through the resulting controversy.
Your post appears to be nothing but an insipid suckup - which is your primary complaint regarding recipients of bernie's flags - and to result from borderline sociopathy that dehumanizes people consequent to a desperate need to posture as someone of more value due to a nearly existential lack of self esteem.
Conceit is not self-esteem. In fact, it is the opposite. Humility and moderation are the product of someone confident they have high value to society. Dehumanizing others is strong evidence of horrible self image and lack of self respect.
Your last statement exemplifies your incapacity to rationally consider successful strategies to grow social media platforms, increase capital via development through investment, and probably how to feed yourself with a spoon.
tl;dr you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded.
Thank you for giving me justification for all the flags you're receiving and will receive in the future.
You're nothing more than a bigoted drunk. Get back to your bottle you pathetic white trash.
That high horse you were on fell over, died and landed right on top of you. You're no better than anything you claim I am and you've proven that with a single statemet. Congrats!
(FYI - It's 2019. You can only call legit retards like @nickgrujic "retarded". But, calling someone a "fag" is just unacceptable these days.)
Adios. I'm done conversing with you.
Perhaps your wounding is misplaced here, as the text you cite is a quote from a movie I believe you'd enjoy quite a bit. That particular quote was from a doctor, and was his official diagnosis of the hero of the movie, who was the smartest man in the world.
I expected @madalchemist to be aware of the quote based on my understanding of some of his statements. You may not be, and you may also not care. Your own particular bias is on display here far more than any you might ascribe to me. I am not averse to pejoratives such as fag, retard, cracker, drunk, and etc. being applied to me by others.
There's no point in defending myself from insults. If they're not true, I have no need. If they are, nothing I say will change that.
However, to object to the pejorative fag on one hand, and then to justify retard on the other is not only void of substance, it is simply narcissism, only defending your person, and not other people who have no less right to be offended than you by specific epithets.
I don't care what you call me. I can only be what I am, and if you accurately describe it, that's fine. Your sexual proclivities have not been addressed by me heretofore, and won't be. You will note my comment was not addressed to you, and that is why. I have no interest in trying to belittle people for no other reason than that it can be undertaken. You'll note all my comments to you advocate for what I expect are meaningful reasons. Personal sexual preferences are not amongst those reasons.
tl;dr this was a quote from the move 'Idiocracy' addressed to the smartest man in the world, and not a sexual slur.
I recall this post Bernie. Didn't @Heimindanger of DTube call you that name before? Anyhow as I said take care. Wish all of you the best. Take care guys.
