50 Lashes for Speaking Out!! Is That Not Punishment Enough? This old Boat.

Forgiveness is the key to your happiness. You control your emotions no one else does. And when someone makes a sincere apology your listening is key, for you as much as for them.


I am hearing questions in my Steemit group on WeChat ”Why is Noganoo getting flagged for his comment.” It’s incredibly awkward for me to explain about bots and petty differences.

Dear Noganoo flaggers,

Please turn your bots off of him. Honestly there are bigger issues and people who deserve your downvote.

Noganoo came out, stronger than I or most could, and said sorry to the community (huge gonands) and the more powerful people here heard his words and accepted it. I did too though I was on his team as are/were many of you, without divulging those dirty details..

Irregardless of his chosen words he wanted what was best for the platform. It was dark days here back then. Wild West type stuff. I miraculously survived it, choice words maybe, lack of power probably.

@noganoo is not bad person. He fought hard to make Steemit what it is today and many were hurt and many more were lifted up. Steemit is what it is today because of what Noganoo fought hard for.

Time has come to stop punishing him for his past words. He said sorry for his ”choice words” and has changed his habits. The American justice system is more punishing for such things. I do agree some people here need to be flagged but Noganoo is not one of them.

Not forgiving him is now on you not him.

If https://steemit.com/@papa-pepper can forgive him, and he got a lot of heat over it, why can’t the flagging bots?
@papa-pepper

Well. That’s been on my mind since a long time.

We all have emotions when it comes to Steemit and its path, if you have no feelings about it you don’t belong here. We are a community and even when someone says something you hate you must listen and understand and then argue. If they change their path to your path you need to acknowledge it.

Steemit is a new world today. Give him another chance

I get it. Sometimes people need to be flagged into obscurity but Noganoo is not that guy!

I risk it all again for this issue!.

This is one of the Steemit dramas that went completely past me.

most of it went past me too. but he and I were near the front of No Steem Smut type things. nsfw tag being blocked without permission was something he helped spearhead.

I missed all the drama. You said it, though. There have been some very dark days here in the past.

Bro, there's no such thing as "Irregardless" :-)

"Irregardless is a word commonly used in place of regardless or irrespective, which has caused controversy since the early twentieth century, though the word appeared in print as early as 1795"

I'm old. lol

OMG. Not in the dictionary but in wikipedia and they call it a word.
As old as 18th century even.

Wait... i will find it. My Hero
