Some thoughts on voting and bots

in steem •  7 years ago 

I agree with you completely. And I do hope some kind of dialog can be reached. But as we say in Israel - to make peace and prosperity, you need a partner who is not looking for war.
You're awesome, and are doing an amazing job. Remember that. <3

Hey @berniesanders ! Flag this comment if you need a hug!!!

In the end it boils down to this:

Authors get offended when their post gets down voted. This is an irrational, but understandable human reaction. In reality what is going on is a disagreement among voters. Some voters think the post should be worth more, others think it should be worth less.

But we are social beings and vote based on other things than reward disagreement.

We need other whales to chime in and state their own opinions by up/downvoting. While bernie at his core os probably well meaning, having only one person decide is not what the network needs.

I disagree with bernie singling out you, so I countered his flags. But I may agree with him flagging someone else. I don't think that he is just evil.

You can be sure that your last sentence won't help to defuse the situation..

It is your right to be offended and he is behaving irrational in this case. Actions like this will be countered. But this is not the only thing he is doing so I don't want to fall into black white thinking. Nothing good ever comes from that.

Sorry to interfere in this situation, but how about you just don't mention him again and let it all in the past.I'm sure he won't be bothering you if you won't be bothering him. People may see him bad(i sure did when i was just starting browsing the platform) but in some cases he actually fights against abuse and stands for the rights of many. When you act while being furious, no good things will happen.Say sorry and just let it go.I guess you worked hard to build up your account, so why do you want to continue this..thing?
Exemple of sorry :

Bernie , sorry, i may have been a little offensive.Wasn't my plan to treat this situation in this manner , i just got a little caried away .I respect your opinion,and i hope i'll get your respect in the future. I understand that it is your right do do whatever you want with your acumulated steem power, If you ever want to come by and flag my content ,please do so if you consider my content puts no value on the steemit ecosistem. I hope you have a great day.

Just my 2 cents

(plz don't flag me)

Please say sorry @techslut, he's really going after the actual accounts abusing Steemit. I know you are a good person and you worked hard to get where you are. So did he.

Someone being a dick to someone, doesn't justify being one too!!! I remember you came into my anti-plagiarism post and was pretty helpful, and good spirited.

Be the bigger person dude. It's never about what someone did, but how you take it. It takes a strong person to forgive people, and not become derailed from the person others look up to.

I just presented you a way to end this.It is your choice what you do with your time, and your account.

And why do you say you don't care about your account? i see you are here since 2016 September and I'm sure you build some friendships and learned a thing or two from Steemit in that time.
Leaving the platform after a little hiccup seems harsh
Anyway , i was just sharing my thoughts.

I understand that you feel hurt. And that's not what I was aiming for. Telling him that he should flag your comment if he wants a hug is a blatant invitation from you for him to continue what he is doing. But it's your account and your decision.

Go for it. Come at me. I am sure you've nothing better to do with your voting power. It's not like you want to make the platform BETTER. You want to ATTACK and BULLY people.

And yeah. You REALLY need a hug. Because dude, how can you contain so much hate and negativity? Doesn't that... hurt?

Also, lower than -19? I don't think so. No matter how low you think you can push me, I will NEVER be as low as you. Not only in reputation.
