I tried explaining that most of us on Steemit joined for the community and the escape from the mindless hurtful trolling on other social media sites and Steemit is a platform I love and I never want it to slip into the drivel you see elsewhere.
I'm not trying to censor anyones free speech but I do feel abusive behaviour and needless nastiness should be discouraged, as I tried explaining to him if he presented his content in a non abusive manner I would probably be following him now but all I got from him was name calling, abuse and slander so I have no time for that kind of rubbish I wasn't the first person to flag him and I wont be the last.
Yeah if the people who are screaming "censorship" had some troll following them around and harassing them for no good reason they may think of it a little bit differently. I like that people are, for the most part, intelligent and civil here. Hopefully that won't change too much.
I've used all of one flag out of the hundreds of votes I've cast since I've been here. And it was due to needless nastiness like you've experienced.
His time on steemit is literally being spent trying to find content he knows will piss people off, that is trolling.
Oh I know. I look at it from time to time just to see if his reputation is still above 25. Surprisingly it is.
I don't get why people do that other than they're miserable human beings and they want others to feel bad too.
I'm not engaging with him anymore, I suspect he's a kid possibly because he sounds like an angry teenager. Adults don't start a converstation insults and end it with "go kill yourself you piece of shit" he seems to just try to insult anyone who doesn't agree with his opinion.
Yeah I think you're probably right. It's sad. He's probably a very unhappy person. I've seen others have the same experience as you and it always ends the same way. It's too bad he won't listen and have meaningful conversations with people. That's how you earn here.
Ah well Some people don't see reason, I do kind of feel sorry for him, he seems like a VERY unhappy person.
You on the otherhand seem worth following 👍😁. Thank you for the proof there are decent human beings!.
Thanks bud :) I've followed you as well. I enjoyed our conversation even though many people have disagreed with what you've stated. I don't like censorship but I also don't like trolls who spend their entire day trying to piss people off. This platform is something special and it would be nice to keep it that way.
I guess this is just one of the many growing pains we've seen and I'm sure there will be more.
