So, I recently retracted my statement I was convinced you had flagged for personal reasons connected to @drugwars. I note you have flagged this post, and provided no stated reason for it.
Given the nature of the post and that it mentioned you by name, it very strongly suggests you are flagging this post in retaliation for being disrespectful, insulting, or otherwise encouraging your personal ire.
I have been utterly forthright and so much so that I have issued a public apology for statements I made I based on recollections I now consider vague. Please step up and honestly concede this is a flag you flew for personal reasons, an opinion flag, or state reasonable cause to fly the flag.
I appreciate your substantive response. I am not aware of spamming from that account, but that is certainly a valid reason for flagging. I note Bernie does a lot of that. You're not flagging that group of accounts, however. Certainly no one, not even Bernie, would claim he doesn't harass and libel.
Consistency is the mark of integrity. Please apply your flags without prejudice and demonstrate that they don't fly, or not fly, because of personal reasons. I request you do so, and make no demands, but would note that Bernie has done a lot of harm to the Steem community, and discouraging flags from that vector would encourage capital gains.
What I am showing you is a very small sample from just 19 hours ago, of what has been going on daily for 3+ years on Steem by the account holder shown in the image. Not only is that targeted harassment, but it is also spam.
It is well known that Marky is this persons friend, and he allows this sort of behavior to go on, all while turning a blind eye. The people of Steem see this, and are aware a double standard is taking place.
People are not stupid. People see the hypocrisy. And that is why Steem currency, as well as the platform has become the laughing stock of the crypto world.
I want to mention that even if the account in question had spammed in the past, which I am not aware of, that still would not justify this action. Can you imagine if you had gotten a ticket for speeding back in 2010. And then everytime the cop sees you he writes you a new ticket, when people ask him why, or what is the ticket about, as the guy it was given to broke no rule? The cop replies "Well he sped back in 2010!
And that is why this is a personal flag, there is no logic to it. This action only proves that Marky is abusing his position of power. Slow your roll Pal, your killing Steem. But then again, that is what you want after all Marky. I see right through you, and you don't fool me for one moment.
You make a lot of very sound points, and I'm grateful for your sharing them with me. I did point out that there are better targets, particularly Bernie, for flags flown for the reasons stated, and requested he flag them.
I didn't dig into @smidgetv's posts to verify Marky's claim, but I have seen posts from Smidge that are pretty insulting to Marky. So, instead of arguing that I asked him to apply those rules where they'd do a better job of cleaning things up. I don't expect him to do so. I know he and Bernie are friends, at least voting for each other's witnesses.
I pointed out the rules should be applied where they apply, because if they don't the applier has no integrity. I've been flagged a time or two myself, so know that just getting angry and calling names only makes it worse. I'm not trying to make it worse on Smidge. I was trying to get Marky to pay attention to his conscience and let up on Smidge by comparing Smidge to Bernie - which you pointed out well, also.
Well I have proof that they do know each other in real life. And I am going to release it soon. I am waiting for the perfect moment.. I am closing in on my final power down.. when that happens I am going to unleash a nuke of truth on Steem, which will be my final post.
Until then I am making use of my SP/VP so long as it is being held hostage.
Thanks Coin. Well it is the truth. Rules are rules. Law is law. And if we are going to defend flagging for reasons by which we can all agree (spam, stolen content, etc). Then those flags need to be on a case by case basis. Just to blanket flag someone for a past offence, for the rest of their life is absurd. And that is why we must fight against it.

Thank you.
Smidge has been harassing. libeling. and spamming. It's nothing personal.

Capital gains FTW.

I love that ticket analogy!
