RE: The HIVE FREEDOM PROXY: Over $1.7M Worth of Hive Witness Votes Available For Serious Free Speech Witnesses.

whewww! Come on @tarazkp!

At this point (having read all the comments on this post) what you have to say is looking rather bare to the bone.

This speaks to your character and I am compelled to ask the obvious questions anyone reading these comments of yours would be wondering about.

Why do you feel the need to go through all this mental gymnastics?

Clearly @ura-soul has represented himself and the topic of this post (freedom of speech) very well...

But you on the other hand... I'm shaking my head that you would expend this much effort to only show the cards you have... and to what end? Is this the foundations of some greater ideal? Why are you working so hard to attempt at discrediting the message (and the messenger)?

I'm seriously beginning to wonder about that now.

In the past I have read some of your posts. That content was good and my interest in your thoughts was peaked. But this... It's all a discredit to your true potential to say the least.

You might even want to reconsider what side you are standing on.

Freedom of speech is something worth working towards. It's the pillars the holdUP the very roof we call home and it's something even bigger than this blockchain.

Why pitch your lot in attempting to counter an ideal that is greater than all of us?

That's folly if you ask me.

Now...

I realize your probably commenting out of the heat of the moment... But in all seriousness. MOST of us want a social blockchain that protects the human rights of free speech...

All to often (these days especially) I find myself shaking my head (like after reading your comments here) and wondering why so many people don't see the harm they are doing by siding against higher values and the voices UPholding them.

Please don't tell me that financial capital has shaped your perception of the importance of the social aspect of this blockchain...

We all need to aspire to something greater than ourselves... (If we want to live a meaningful and rich life that is.) Why don't you lend your intellect and passion to the greater cause?

...because ultimately every voice is important and should be valued for what it brings... But what's the point of all this if the social environment doesn't support or nurture what we all hold so dear.

Please reconsider your stance and who you are aligned with.

Sincerely,

@wil.metcalfe

Sort:  

all these words and nothing said. All that comes out is your hurt feelings - not any understanding at all.

Well... It was worth a shot!

This is actually my first attempt to communicate with you @tarazkp... And it's not been so positive.

I'm not looking for contention however...

I simply wanted to extend a hand...

Every decision we make is an opportunity after all.

Thank you for making yourself known.
