Wait... as a new member... I’m confused. I thought 1/2 of the point of steemit was to be a censorship resistant social network where people could share their honest truths without fear. All I see here is people trying to burn another man like he’s some kind of heretic.
I chose not to watch the video, based on the description, but I’m not going to try to take away @jerrybanfield’s right to share what he wants; or try to run him out of the community.
It sounds like it took a lot of guts to share this. Participating in a hate mob requires NO courage.
I’ll probably lose some of my tiny and hard-earned rep for this, but that’s a risk I’ll take to support freedom of speech and expression.
It is censorship resistant, however jerry is one of the how do I put this...politicians of the steem chain. He and other people represent steem/steemit. He has as elected by the steem "shareholders" to be one of the faces of the steemit. This kinda of shit does not give a good face for it. He can post all he wants but he will face consequences for what he posted. If it was anyone else he/she won't get that much of a bad rap....
Jerry gets paid a good amount of money by getting voted in-these jerry incident keep building up and this post was one of the few that it posts and is causing him to fall for the political ranking of steemit and it going to down eahc day
