You brought some hostility into the room which is fine. I do not agree with many of the practices that occur here. Abusive self voting bots etc. I also see what the link you posted as a very clear demonstration of how badly self voting can hurt the platform.. maybe that was its point.. As directly prior to that there were numerous conversations going on about some users self voting to the extremes and no one wanted to do anything about it or it was not an issue until that post you provided showed exactly how damaging it can be when left unchecked. As to looking in the mirror.. well that was an unneeded comment, but your welcome to it. I will continue doing my thing and my part. Regardless when a user posts a stolen FB image and then buys votes for it at the last minute there is only one motive behind that action. You know it, I know it.. It is not rocket science and serves only one purpose.
Also what can I do about grumpycat? nothing.. so it's not a battle I worry about fighting I will keep things as clean as I can at my level and below. If I ever make it to grumpy level then I can begin to address those issues. Right now, the platform needs to change to prevent these types of abuses or they will just continue.
Also I don't mind the comment and thank you for taking the time to write it but could you delete the stupid Gif? that thing it is annoying
I wish we could -the GIF is his

Is Grumpy on his way out ??
He's already won his lottery - why would he stick around ?

It's interesting what you call "politics"
He is a whale, likely an early investor taking his earnings, or what he feels are his deserved earnings. I can not comment on it really.. If I were at the level I may feel similar.. but then again as a trader, if I had that type of pull.. I would likely power down, sell into the downtrend, buy on the uptrend and come back more poweful than ever. It's not my call on how he powers up/down or sideways.. its a platform issue.. As I have stated I am not aligned with any faction, and I may like some actions of a user while disliking other actions by the same user. Regardless, I can't make that call or embrace the logic until I am at the level and have to think about protecting my $3,000,000 investment

Protecting your investment means raping the rewards pool ??!?
I think we've said about all there is to say about grumpy.
No idea, I wonder if he is cashing out, and/or working to push down or control price.. granted Steemit has a 393m market cap, so I doubt grumpycat can crush it that much.. there are a lot of politics going on here for sure.
