In most jurisdictions the burden of proof rests with the individual making the claim. You are making claims but have not provided any proof of your claims.
Spam is, by definition,
irrelevant or inappropriate messages sent on the Internet to a large number of recipients. - unwanted or intrusive advertising on the Internet. - Dictionary.com
How is posting 10 posts to his blog, spamming people? He is not sending it to you or anybody else, he is posting it to his blog, a right that everyone has in a system of anarchy and in most free speaking countries in the world. Now, if he wrote a bot to then send links to his blog and post them in other peoples blogs, that would be spamming. So is their proof to your allegation that what he is doing is spamming people?
I've also heard of the claim that what WhaleB is doing is taking away or reducing the reward pool for the rest of the community. Again, where is the proof of this claim? Show me the analysis that if WhaleB stopped supporting this one user, that the rest of the community would have benefited? Where is the harm? I've seen no evidence of a tort of any kind being done against anybody as a result of what WhaleB is doing.
By dictating what PosterA should or should not do with his money is his issue. You may be exactly right and he cares not about the community, but rather has greed in his heart and wants to get rich. Do you think resorting to violence is going to change his heart or is that just leading this model down the path of centralized governance?
We are all here because we reject centralized authority in one form or another. As other posters have stated, greed will always be here. So do we attack those who don't fit the mold or do we focus on building a strong community so that over time it makes it more and more difficult for the greedy to exist within that community?
By calling for 'laws' and rules, you have just slipped into organizing a centralized authority / state run governance model which is the beginning of the end for steemit.
This process is going to be very uncomfortable. Getting out of the mind set of centralized authority is tough because we were all raised to obey and follow authority. However, if we are going to grow as individuals, we must resist the urge to control other people. The fear is that the greedy and violent of the world will destroy this community. By building centralized authority models, these people are attracted to these positions of power and destroy the community. But by learning how to self-govern, we give them nothing to control and they will flounder. But that requires that we all self-govern and have faith that our efforts to build a strong community will repel the psychopaths of the world and over time they will find themselves in no-mans-land. My prayer is that this uncomfortable position will be enough to entice them to change and embrace peace and love in their lives at which point we can welcome them with open arms.
But the moment we start down the path of establishing 'laws' or rules to govern others, we have lost our community.
But what jurisdiction we have If its up to the each individual to judge what is Fair and punish It accordingly? Because that is what we have now. Since there is no consensus about what is 'fair' and what isnt, then its up to me(and every other user) to judge and punish however we see fit.
And like you said that whaleB can do whatever he wants with his Stack, so is userA and userB, including flagging. In that sense, there is no violence in the flag. And that is the freedom the system allows.
Like all other political systems, anarchy/libertarian looks Wonderful in theory, but the theory never factor in the human Nature.
Nowdays governments are a big problem with too much Power in the hands of few. And yes, there is too many laws created to fulfill the interests of a minority, but there is also high number or laws that stops some individuals to cannibalize entire communities.
The existence of laws, when they come from the community as a whole improve things for the whole community. Its Basic to human survival.
It is simply not possible to ensure peace and without some restrictions that forbid people of doing harm to another. There Will always be someone that will do anything to get Power, no matter the damage.
I share with you the ideal, of good and Just self governance, but unfortunately It is something unachievable with humans.
What we truly need is balance.
I think self-governance is achievable and requires a lot of work. Peace, forgiveness and other spiritual qualities must be engaged for this to work. I speak of this at length in my blog and books. Punishment and violence will not remedy the issues that we are confronted with.
Totally agree with you. Peace and forgiviness is the ultimate goal, and everyone must practice these things everyday, and that will help everyone bit by bit.
But i also have worries about the "between", before we reach the ultimate goal.
I really like the Anarchy/libertarian ideals, but what i learned after some time liking the communist ideals is that the human nature and human instincts for survival have a big part on how the system works on the real world.
Until the day that every human on earth reach the consensus that peace, forgivness and sharing is the best way for humanity to survive, we will still need to establish limits to define what is a bad thing for the community.
The chaos during the transition period will be an uneasy feeling, no doubt about that. But we must work through those feelings and resist the urge to call for governance for that will prevent our transition into peace and self-governance. It may look chaotic, ugly or even painful, but every transition in life is that way. Whether we witness a baby being born or an elder passing away.
I have faith that we can work through this if we can resist the urge to govern others through fictional constructs and trust that we will figure this out. We need to be patient and allow people to work through their shit so that we can get there.
