You're entitled to your opinion. I disagree. I think the if anyone wanted to look at the conversation between me and Klye, its pretty obvious that he is rude and on a power trip, and it shows a real lack of decentralization on this site if one guy can completely censor you. I think Steem is going to do well short term, but this kind of leadership seems to correlate with the downward price trend.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
The fact that you can't see what you are doing is spam is the problem.
Spam
noun
Digital Technology. disruptive online messages, especially commercial messages posted on a computer network or sent as email (often used attributively).
Verb
spams, spamming, spammed
to send unsolicited electronic mail or messages to a number of people.
Your actions perfectly fit the definition of spam. Plus, if you are even remotely right, people would be saying so and upvote your comments.
I did read through a bunch of the posts. If you're mature enough to get past of some colourful language than it's pretty obvious what you need to do. Bury the hatchet and move on from this. That is what klye has been saying. There was even one guy who sympathized on your point of view. Even they told you to just give up, do what klye is asking and move on.
All of your other points are just diverting off topic of the issue of your spamming. You don't think this page is decentralised, go back to reddit or something. Don't like that your being censored for spamming, go back to Facebook and spam there. Don't like that your being flagged, apologize and move on. Think the price will drop, back up your words by powering down and cashing out. It's all up to you to decide what you do. There just might be consequences with some of your choices though, so choose carefully.
"especially commercial messages posted on a computer network or sent as email"
That's the part you're not getting. I wasn't selling anything. There is nothing wrong with posting multiple messages when they all relate to the comment they're replying to.
I see why klye started with the colourful language in describing you. You are very thick headed and trying to skew people's words to fit your narrative. It very frustrating. Like debating with a child.
Because you are not selling anything in your post, does not mean you are not spamming. The word before 'commercial' is "especially." That does not mean "only limited to or exclusively."
And, you could even go so far as to say that you are trying to sell your post for votes (steem, money). So you are selling something; you're selling your content. That is what everyone is doing here. The thing everyone is not doing is.... "sending the same unsolicited electronic message to a number of people."
Just look at what the majority of people are saying. They are telling you that you are in the wrong. Just read down the comments here. People are, for the most part, being polite and commenting that you are wrong. Even the few comments on your blog posts are telling you that you are wrong and that you should expect to be flagged when you act the way you are.
"I see why klye started with the colourful language in describing you."
After that statement is when you provide evidence, but instead, you launch into colorful statements of your own:
"You are very thick headed and trying to skew people's words to fit your narrative. It very frustrating. Like debating with a child."
You and Klye don't help your case by throwing around ad hominems laced with profanity.
This exactly proves my observation of your thick head. The evidence to my comment starts after the first paragraph, which was a 4 sentence statement as a whole. I guess you didn't read that far for reasons that I cannot say because it will offend you.
Do you have any rebuttal to the other three paragraphs or are you just going to whine about being called out for how you are acting?
Your focusing on being called out (yes, using profanity) and you're not arguing with any substance.
What do you have to say about my comment about picking little words out of an entire definition because that one word doesn't fit with what you are doing?
What do you have to say about the fact that you ARE selling your content for a possible monetary reward?
What do you have to say about the comments from the majority of the people here and on your recent posts telling you that you are wrong?
Here is an example from the same post where this all started of how you could have easily handled the situation with klye;

You could have just acknowledged your mistake and moved on. You probably didn't even have to acknowledge, just move on. Instead, you chose to escalate it to this point.
I'm finished debating with you now because it's just reverting back your hurt feelings when someone calls you out for how you are acting. I'll be moving on, I suggest you do the same.
I didn't make a mistake. There is nothing wrong with posting links. "Spam" is generally thought of as things like posting an affiliate link. These were for cash tips for people making a relevant comment. In a gray area, at worst. The guy was posting about high fees on segwit, I was replying to people that were either also frustrated, or were making a comment about Bitcoin Cash.
Sorry, but throwing in insults doesn't make your points any more valid.
I don't know if the price will drop right away, but if one guy can completely downvote everything another person does - that's a problem no matter who is getting flagged, no matter what for.
I stopped giving a fuck about the Klyes of the world when I became financially independent (not because of this site). The problem is Steemit. When one guy can have that power, the whole purpose of this site is a fail. Add to that that there is no longer mining, which is huge because PoW is the whole reason cryptocoins work in the first place, then the downward trending price in terms of BTC, the lack of quality content (probably from others leaving), the poor quality of people with big accounts (craig grant and klye and trevon)...I could go on and on.
