RE: ⚠️ Rip-Off Alert ⚠️ @jerrybanfield Is At It Again To Rip People Off

From my view point this is a hit piece on Jerry. Your jealous! The way you went about this is wrong! If you provided criticism that would be fine. But you attacked him!
I think this witness thing is out of hand and it makes certain folks nuts.
Your just as much in this for money as Jerry is! As we all are on steemit for $$$
Your a hypocrite! And a dangerous one at that stirring up the community for your ego/witness mentality. Tell me where he violated a law? Maybe one day someone as brilliant as yourself will start a campaign against you out of pure jealousy. Think before you act. Your acting like a bully and picking on a harmless awkward guy that is doing no wrong.

Sort:  

So, overcharging $50 for a FREE account is ok with you? A guy who does that is not harmless, quite the opposite.

For your information, I have supported and voted for jerry since he started witnessing. I even looked away when he made his first blunders. Please don't judge if you don't know the full story.

I read and still don't understand the reasoning for the hit piece. He broke no laws, was offering a service for a price. You can disagree on the price but its no reason to form a posse and try to hang a man.
When you offer your opinion that is fair. When you actively set out to ruin a guy because you feel he charges to much, you have gone too far.
You only address the $50 overcharging, your blinded by $$$. And it doesn't matter what you think about it. It's not harmful.
Your actions are far more harmful.
Don't talk about judging seems you do alot for everyone else.

I didn't form a posse; people read, speak their mind, resteem, and react. That's how social media works. He didn't break any laws, because there aren't any on a decentralized platform. The only law is the law of the users. He got busted trying to sell an overcharged product, he lied about what he knew, and you expect people to kindly respond to that? My opinion is more than fair, if it wasn't fair, I would be the one having the backlash. Apparently, I'm not. I'm not harming him, he's harming himself.

You took it further than it needed to go. Ok to be against a service or product.
But then you campaigned against him personally. As a witness! Cops might arrest or stop a bad action but they don't serve as judge and jury.
From the ending of your post "As far as I'm concerned, I flagged his scammy post, and removed my witness vote for him. I encourage you to do the same, people with such behavior are a disgrace to the spirit of Steem."
Then you raw raw cheer everyone in the comments to smeer him and happily collect witness votes, just wow! IMO your dangerous, and shouldn't lead anyone but there are tons of sheep. If Jerry was wrong for what he did because he's a big shot witness, then so should you for your personal attack and enriching yourself from his mistake.
Might think again before interfering in commerce so recklessly.
"because there aren't any on a decentralized platform. The only law is the law of the users." lol

As I said in one of my comments, if he was a regular user, I wouldn't care that much, a simple downvote and comment would have sufficed. But him being a witness and doing these questionable moves is a different ballpark. Witnesses are "elected" to be witnesses based on trust, all eyes on them, and it's a very big deal what he's done. Personally I wouldn't trust a person doing irresponsible things to be a witness, hence I removed my vote. You do what you want, if you trust and support him, so be it, but there are others who don't.
