RE: I Now Vote For @Deathwing's Witness & Pushed Him Into the Top 20 - After Talks About His Support & Understanding of Free Speech on Hive

in #witness3 years ago

Taraz I appreciate the amount of time you spend on this post.

I also appreciate everyone who spend recently countless minutes-hours educating ura-soul and Kenny. Trouble is it’s in vain. The last time anyone tried to bribe a witness ended up being KC. That is the fate with these guys.

Their greed makes me sad.

I said to this guy that it is always about the money. It is never about logic, hive, Covid or anything they talk about. They don’t have any other sources of earning. They just want to siphon off money.

People will see it. They want to make drama after drama.

Again thank you, Taraz. I know how much you care for the chain. This is real community service you are doing. Many thanks!

This group is tiring and definitely a waste of everyone who interacts time. There is so much wrong with their understanding and their behavior, that it should be hard to take anything they say on any topic seriously.

They think they are being ideologically suppressed, yet they haven't acknowledged that many other people saying much the same (because it is pretty generic) aren't getting downvoted for it. They live in a fantasy world of self-importance.

The approach in this particular post is one of bribery and hostage taking, not to mention, severe misrepresentation.

I am personally tired of these kinds of interactions. It has been going on with a tiny circle of users for several years now.

I just want you to know that I am surprised, happily, to read your comments here thanking folks for their work on behalf of Hive. It shows my my understanding of people is woefully inadequate, and little could benefit me more than learning how I can better myself.

I agree strongly with you that free speech is ours, and it is at our sole option to exercise it as we see fit. It is not my intention to exacerbate any differences we have, but I do want to advocate for the diversity of opinion that enables us to improve our understanding. If we cannot speak freely with those we disagree with, we can never come to agree with them.

As you have taught me here, often we are able to agree on things we have previously disagreed on, or were mistaken to think we disagreed on - but only if we have and take opportunity to discuss them.

Anyway, thank you.

Once again you are slandering and misleading here. No-one is bribing a witness here, there is no evidence or even reason to think that is what is happening. The HP has been proxied to me to use to vote for witnesses who are supportive of intent to direct Hive in a direction whereby downvotes are not used abusively.

The purpose and use of downvotes on Hive is open to interpretation, as are several other elements of the voting process on Hive - they are subjective. Therefore, different people have differing perspectives on what constitutes abusive use of votes or how votes should best be used. In this case many people disagree with the use of downvotes as you are sometimes using them and have come together to do what can be done to initiate changes that change the situation in favour of what they perceive to be a more beneficial direction for the marketing and growth of Hive.

As such, these witness votes are being offered to those witnesses who are willing to align with this intention and make minimal public statements to that effect. There is no bribery here, it is simply policy statement and alignment.

You like to speak as if you know everything about subjects, which you clearly do not. Here you are literally speaking about my own personal life, despite not even knowing the bare basics about it. This is totally obvious to numerous people - many of whom contact me regularly and in increasing numbers. I have no interest in wasting my time arguing over this.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH
