He who does not blame, approves. This is a maxim of law. If someone won't admit to be wrong I'm not there to make them admit, all I can do is point out their fault, the rest is up to them.
I don't agree. You can remain neutral without condemning or approving. I know you're saying that is a kind of approval so I believe we are defining approval differently.
I didn't express anything like that, all I expressed was the obvious rationale of the above maxim, so exactly what are you disagreeing with when I never talked or insinuated imposing oneself.
Again, I meant "impose" in a different sense. I'm saying that ideas about morality tend to be impositions by all humans (not you specifically) on top of what is already perfectly balanced (laws of the universe.)
Redemption isn't a piece of cake, and nobody can redeem themselves until they have admitted to the wrong that condemned them, and if you don't condemn such a wrong you are allowing it. You are your brothers keeper.
I still see it as a primarily internal process, but concede that I see more value in outright condemnation than I did before.
I'd be wary of their generosity, I'd be very wary of people who are quick to sing a different tune and fast to ask us to forget especially so if they have made no gestures seeking forgiveness because it leaves the impression that they didn't think much, if anything, of what they did and will soon resort to the same kind of dishonesty and hypocrisy.
Again, you seem to see vote-selling/buying in a decidedly negative light. I view it as a neutral outgrowth, the logical consequences of the chain's operation. There's nothing to apologize for nor forgiveness to seek from my perspective.
It's hypocrisy after all because the only reason they continue to vote sell and vote buy is because people are still manually curating, if everyone delegated to bots there would be nothing to promote for, no reason to engage and no audience to consume.
You're correct about manual curation being required for this place to have any value. If we ever reached a point where every single vote that was cast was automated, the whole value proposition would be gone. But, such a thing will never occur as long as a single person makes the decision to vote manually.
