So @berniesanders decided to publicly threaten me. Am I to do his bidding? What do you guys think?

Does @berniesanders really think this is the ethical and reasonable way to go about things? Apparently.

Why the extortion, Bernie? Can't think of a civil way to solve your personal problems with other people?

Anyway, I'm going to bed. Good night guys!

This isn't right!

It just creates a climate of paranoia for new users, how is that good for Steemit?

or better question, what's the better alternative? Why shall we be invested in a software constructed around the premise that whale can demonetize anyone they want?

On a whim.

;) and pump bimbos post to heaven's high... again thank you @gamer00 for this great post ! And to all for the great debate and arguments.

Why is downvoting a spam enabler not right? Could you explain?

spam enabler
LOL that is a creative way to demonize curators.

Do you really want new people flagged off of steemit over a vendetta that they are not even aware of?

He isn't aware of what? Ah, he is well aware of how things work here. He has shown no intention to reform himself.

"Proof That @steemcleaners Is Corrupt"

Do you also believe steemcleaners is corrupt? Could you show evidence for it?

When I wrote "new people" I obviously wasn't referring to @skeptic, since he is not new. I was actually referring to people who are new to steemit.

Do you really want new people (people who are new to Steemit) flagged off of Steemit over a vendetta that they are not even aware of?

LOL that is a creative way to demonize curators.

I am just describing what he exactly is.

I am not sure if you are you referring to @gamer00, that would be the only logical choice since he is the only curator previously mentioned and you are singling one out, but I understand that you are having trouble with English so I want to be sure, before I respond.

Also what is your first language?

@gamer00,
I just read that comment and already commented what's my stand in this case! I am not a big guy here, but know few big whales and can ask their help if you need it! This guy looks like a bad a$$ :D but he has a team so if you need my assistant I will always give you my 100% and my team either!
I am not following all steemians, I am following only 100 and if someone in from that list in trouble means I will do my best to help him to come out of it!

Cheers~

You sure you want to go against bernie, a whale whose SP is 1000 times your own? He can kill your account with 0.1% of his SP.

Yeah, we should all sucle up to him like the little sheep we are. Not.

No, we shouldn't nor should we sucle upto dan or ned.

You have written a post under the tag #eos, I'm just mentioning this because Bernie has a habit of flagging those too. Just because.

That would be more beneficial for me.

How, exactly would it be beneficial to you?

Was I implying we should?

You on the other hand were stating that just because Bernie has lot of oompah, we should fear him and not oppose his arbitrary use of power.

Nope, Burnie could kill his (guru) account citing his misbehavior. Burnie needs to have justification to kill someone's account. Skeptic is known for repeated trolling and insulting steemcleaners acccouts without showing any sign of reform.

Guru once mass downvoted on my post. I discussed about that with multiple admins of steemcleaners about solutions to that problem. (He was lucky that he withdraw his downvotes quickly)

Burnie uses strong language but he largely doesn't attack people who aren't abusing the system. He may attack those who are abuse enablers (meaning you).

You on the other hand were stating that just because Bernie has lot of oompah, we should fear him and not oppose his arbitrary use of power.

You shouldn't fear him if you haven't done anything wrong.

I saw your post on discord of bernie treathning you. It is so sad, we should be able to protect eachother gaginst these kind of things

Yes I agree. Sadly he already started doing what he threatened me with. He went for this post, but considering his resolve he will probably not listen to any sense and might start flagging my other posts soon.

Meaby there is no need to panic. Your other posts seem fine and he might be just targetting this one because it was about him. Make sure you are chosing carefully your next steps and in Belgium we say: An avoided fight is winning that fight. I would really find it to bad for you that your reputationscore would be to 0 and that you would need to start over with another account while you are sooo doing your best on steemit and tons of people like you and are following you for the content you bring. Stay positive. Dont provoce. This might blew over. Just do what you do best and you'll be fine!

Thanks for the encouraging words. :) I'll try to keep my cool.

  1. You are encouraging tag spam.

  2. You are defaming him.

I see nothing wrong with flagging your posts.

Say what?

You are encouraging tag spam.

How, exactly?

Oh... I get it, you mean @these don't you? As far as I can see they are not the same as #tags. And yes, I think @skeptic could use less name repetition in his short stories. Checking out his latest posts, he hasn't been "tag spamming" at all.

You are defaming him.

You mean Bernie am I right? I think he's done that quite well himself.

Defaming is saying something about him that isn't correct and makes him look bad.

"(Under common law, to constitute defamation, a claim must generally be false and must have been made to someone other than the person defamed."

I've done none of that. What I did was take a screenshot of what he said, verbatim, not something I pulled out of my own ass.

Why are you bothering to reply to this guy? His English and comprehension skills are clearly poor. He should stick to ordering food and talking about the weather, until he improves.

mm tough one. I would not like to be downvoted over something so trivial. But i do believe there are other ways of solving this. For one talking to people and explaining why you should not vote on xx person. But threatening is never ok.

If @skeptic was a spammer, or someone pushing potentially deadly advice I would not hesitate flagging him, but AFAICS he's just been very opinionated. He's even made some amends to his sometimes foulmouthed style he used to have. Yes he is a shitposter and he likes to make fun of the religious hipsters amongst us, but that isn't a basis to forcibly silence him.

I'm already thinking about the possibility @berniesanders is actually afraid of @skeptic, since he's so vehemently wanting to keep him invisible to others. It's as if @skeptic's said something that has hit too close to home on @berniesanders. His war on @skeptic just seems awfully too personal.

It's repeated nature makes it an actual crime, the crime of harassment, and possibly stalking.

and your name is lifeworship... should have chosen crimeworship. Where is the fun? Don't you think there is something great in exploiting a flaw of steem? one it reveals it early and two it's possible to not take this personally and see it more through the light of a game. the flag wars rages on :).

I can't exactly take you seriously.

I think you misunderstood @lifeworships's comment: I'm pretty sure that he/she was calling BS the harasser/stalker, not Skeptic!

You're half retarded, aren't you? You clearly don't get it. It's all fun and games.

It's all fun and games.

So you admit to being a troll. That was easy.

This is one of the main issues i have with flagging options because it is grossly abused.

I hope you can fix this problem with ethical and peaceful way

Me too.

this doesn't seem the right way as far as i know

Sir I'm new in Steemit And This I my 1st comment of my life.
No sir this is not ethical and reasonable way. because your blog your wish..... Just I think....
Thanks for sharing.

That was the sweetest comment of all time.


You nailed it.

I think its a serious issue @gamer00 solve it friendly but i think #steemit developer need to remove the flag option for those who are below 30 reputation because these guys are not serious and always finding short ways.

That's actually a good idea. :) Very good.

Wow that's messed up.
