RE: Two proposed HF policy change for countering reward based abuses.

Hate speech is either defined subjectively or objectively. We normally define morality, hate, speech, right and wrong, through limited and subjective perspective. Sometimes, we may believe in truth that is like objective that is defined by maybe God, maybe a religion, maybe philosophy, culture, family traditions or something. But I believe in freedom of speech which includes hate speech. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words may never hurt me. If you gave me hate speech, then I can handle it. Call me dumb. I am ok with that. I would not want to take your freedom from you mostly because I do not want you to take that same freedom from me. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

That's the problem. subjectively measured hate speech, or anything really, is a recipe for disaster, and leads to tyranny.

Steemit is better when people can make money. But it becomes a problem when you can make money by taking it from others.
