@heiditravels: Welcome to my world. I am sorry this happened to you, but I am glad you stood up and cleared the air.

Thank you for defending me too. I am very glad to read your post as I suspected something fishy about @fyrstikken after he lied about me "giving financial advice". I never gave any single person financial advice to invest in Synereo. He confused the solutions i presented (one for addressing harassment and abuse (duh!) and the other for addressing centralized power), with offering advice to invest. I never told anyone to do anything with their money. I am an artist and writer, not an investor. So, when he began spreading lies about me, I just couldn't believe it since I considered us to be friends. I was shocked actually. And of course hurt. The reason I didn't create a post yet about it, is because, quite frankly, his insane behavior points to an unstable mind.

I was taken aback by his calling you a 'cunt' multiple times, and also all the sexually violent talk. That just showed me exactly who he is. He is definitely not who I thought he was. Thank you for clearing this up, because it has been weighing on my mind how to approach this issue. My natural tendency is to withdraw from such nutjobs, who are both powerful, rich and have followers and also who have it out to get people (note death threats aimed at Tuck).

I was very disturbed that he was spreading misinformation about me when I did nothing to him personally. I see that he was angry because I was bringing up flaws of steemit, ones that I want to be fixed before things get out of hand.(Like they are now).

And another thing I will just clear up with this. The reason I made that Synereo post so controversial is because I could not stand the fact that one user was continuing to be harassed. To ignore the most vulnerable people in society is to be the worst kind of human.

The misogyny in here is exactly as I described it. I have been noticing, and absorbing other people's pain for far too long. I wrote that post because I cannot stand to see people suffer. I am not going to be happy in a place that ignores suffering. I wrote it mainly for others, as well as my future safety. Not having a block feature is simply absurd at this stage of the game. (And yes, I realize that the blockchain will contain all data. I realized that in my first week of being on Steemit. I am only referring to the application known as Steemit having the filter or block feature.)

My only regret is that because of my anger in the devs not taking this issue seriously, I used part of that email from Dan. That was wrong of me to do so and I have already apologized to him. I know when I have gone too far, because I feel bad about it. I did make a mistake in quoting that email and I want to apologize to him and also to all the newbies who were negatively affected.
But the rest of it stands. I am not a puppet and I will always seek the truth over everything else. I cannot be bought off, and no one owns me. You can tell a lot about a society with the way they treat the most vulnerable members.

This new thing of @fyrstikken lying now about 2 women and calling us 'cunts' is the exact reason that women have already started fleeing. I am glad all this came to light because it has been in the shadows, happening to women, gays and other marginalized people. I know, because they tell me.

Thanks for your comments, and for clearing up what i suspected already, @fyrstikken is a wolf in sheep's clothing, someone with a giant ego and an explosive, violent temper. He has destroyed any trust I had for him previously. And I also have evidence that there are many others, both within Steemit and outside of Steemit who have been misled and manipulated by him.

I waited a long time to respond because, like everyone else, I wanted to believe in that jovial, Norweigan image. I had to collect research, data, from sources. I have enough data to make a firm conclusion.
I had even written a long story about Steemit weeks ago with him as a character in it. I see now that I have to remove his character because it is not representative of the real person. I think what really sucks about all of this is that I really love that SHITCOIN YouTube video he did. And I guess I will continue to like that video, even though the person who made it tried to ruin my reputation in Steemit. well I believe I still have the highest reputation in here. Numbers are more trustworthy than words. When I am wrong, at least I admit it. Now, it's someone else's turn. People need to come clean and admit they were wrong.

No human being is right 100% of the time. We are not robots. We are in constant evolution. However, I do not spread lies about others. In fact, I am naive about people and I tend to see the good in others, even when I shouldn't.

It takes a lot for me to see the bad in people and publicly come forth and reveal that. It feels wrong to write about others (that's why I apologized when I wrote about the email). That is the reason I know fyrstikken is misguided. For him to fly off the handle and make public accusations based on a vague conversation, and try to ruin @heiditravels is enough to make me steer clear of him altogether.
