BlockTrades web site was down for a few hours due to large-scale datacenter/network issues today, back up now!

I did not write any two line comment, I very rarely do. I expressed my opinion and explained why I felt so. You flagging me also had no impact on the layout of the page or knocked down anything I said. The two line comment you flagged, I responded to and you flagged me 2. Of course that pissed me off

Yep, just looked up your comment, you're the other guy Dan voted for with an outsized vote for attacking our integrity. You were the "who is this blocktrades' guy anyways" guy, lol. I'd love to see how you responded to such insults if you had more SP, but from the tone in your comments to date, I'm sure it would be much more aggressive than my relatively measured response .

I can show you many times I have had a difference of opinion with someone and no flags were ever used. My asking who blocktrades was simply because I did not know why it was on the Steemit UI. So I wondered did Ned own it. Is that not a logical conclusion to come? You giving a measured respose and then doing something so petty as flagging me sends very mixed messages. Every point I have made is valid but you just don't like my opinion. That's just you abusing your power. Plain and simple.

You misunderstood my meaning: my "measured response" was simply eliminating the ridiculous upvote reward that Dan gave you (especially since he knew the allegation in your comment was false: after all, he's the one who originally asked us to support Steem currency on our web site, not Ned). You live in a very cynical world, if you think that every time there's cooperation between two companies, it means something nefarious is going on. The "possibility" of corruption of the type you're implying does not mean it's "logical" to assume that such a thing is happening... That apparently is just your mindset.

A more retaliatory response from me would have been to severely downvote you for your baseless accusations, and for not even bothering to even ask me about your concerns before publicly accusing me of all kinds of bad behavior. Honestly, I was tempted to do so as I was pretty offended by your comments, but I held back.

And to be honest I only looked at you as a corporation rather than a person so I did not take into account your feelings. I am a pretty cynical guy and I have admitted and apologized for that before you even flagged me. That is what makes what you did so petty. My mindset maybe to call out the injustice in the world, yours is to try and hide it. My accusations were not close to baseless either because upping the price would be logical if your stock sold out so fast and you said you changed the price because it was too cheap. No conclusion I have come to has been without basis, your response on the other hand not great. You also came at this situation with the entirely wrong mindset.

EDIT: Oh for the sake of argument, your reason for downvoting me is that I got lucky and someone gave me a very large upvote, something which is entirely out of my control. Do not see the problem with that?

EDIT EDIT: Also I never once implied anything about corruption could you please enlighten to me when I did?

Yes, the upvote was out of your control. But, all my downvote did was counteract it. It didn't do anything negative to you beyond offseting what I considered an unreasonable upvote to you by Dan. There was no damage to your Steemit rep number, for example. I was just nullifying Dan's vote. Which, somewhat humorously to me, was what he said he would like to do to the people who purchased delegations from me.

So as one of steemit's largest shareholders you think it is your responsibility to go around and decide who should get what upvote. The message you want to send out is - come to steemit where the largest whale destroys rewards out of spite.

EDIT: Steem's Shareholders* ( I do know the differance ^^)

You continue to reinterpret what I say, and you've basically exhausted my patience to try to explain my point of view to you, but here's my final try: No, I do not think "it's my responsibility to go around and decide who should get what upvote" but it is my right as an SP holder to counter rewards I disagree with, and indeed that's one of the main things downvotes were designed to accomplish. I'm amazed that you don't know this.

Wow you really just are a douche huh. You have literally not answered one of my questions and I have clearly proved you acted without cause only out of spite. Your a very petty person and that shit will bite you in the ass one day. You could of jsut admitted you acted like a child and apologized that you got it wrong, but no. My patience is now also exhausted. I will be making a very detailed post on how you abuse your power.

EDIT: Last part was an empty threat. I most likely won't do the post, but that's more so because I am lazy. It is much better to be aggressive and honest than petty and deceitful. That's about the end of it. You clearly won't show remorse
