nods ... p.S is there something we can do to help nathan ?

Nope, but you can stay out of his flag wars, and do your own thing. He poked a bear. A bear who happens to also vote my witness of his own accord. I personally never involve myself in anybody elses flag wars. And in this case, nathan basically and literally told him to flag him.

k i guess i will attack the bear alone then. I find the way he threatened nathan and is abusing his power repugnant. People with such power should never be able to silence someone just because they are saying something they do not want to hear. But I understand that you cannot engage.

Thanks for understanding. Do note however, that you will not win against bears on a dPOS system where they have the money and thus the power? Other than a headache, and possibly getting your blog decimated, what outcome are you actually expecting to achieve? People don't like it, but your "target" is not actually breaking any rules? If you want to take on a target, why not choose one like trying to rescue the hypnotized from cult like community cliques run by vapid frauds like those in the twisted reign of a certain "minnow supporter" who use them for personal gain, and help someone break out of slavery, rather than tilting at windmills and getting your own account targeted and broken in the process.

I do both and openly. It is about principle for me, I would have not gotten involved had my target not boasted on how he would destroy his weaker opponent. When I see injustice I stand against it even if it is to my detriment or the outcome seems gloomy... Why? Because fear is the bloody mind killer, because at least the bullies see that they do not remain unchallenged and someone gives a damn about the hurt they cause. I have no idea what Nathan did or did not do but abuse of power is never the right moe nor should it be tolerated. As for my account what is there to destroy but my reputation. It is not like I am making any real funds here. He kills it I just work on bringing it back it is not like he can take the megar funds I have or really impact the connections I have made here. As for cults humans are stupid they always flock to leaders because they refuse to think for themselves and need someone to worship. If I see wrong doing I speak up but most are not willing to hurt until it affects them personally and they have already lost a ton in the process ...

Tyger, I appreciate you, I do. You are sweet and well intentioned.. but consider the reality.

Im pretty sure haejin has never even heard of nathan until nathan provoked him in a post which literally ended with "Flag away big man" at the end, and so you could say several things here.

  1. he brought it on himself.
  2. who verbally bullied who first here?
  3. once again, haejin is within his rights and the code is law of dpos to do what he does, like it or not, and most dont like it, I am neither endorsing nor renouncing, because, well, its all allowed by the rules.

and once again, indignant for righteous reasons, is fine and all, but you aint gonna change anything at all, and there is nothing to really change anyway, see, "by the rules of code" once again.

He didn't technically bully him he did however challenge him in a somewhat prepubescent manner ... That being said with great power comes great responsibility and I expect people in power to be better and if they are not I will open my big russian mouth and tell them they suck ... it is how i am built, I can't help it . Also the rules do not change if none try to stand against them .. obviously the steemit pop culture is fucked, and steem might be fucked too - it is not looking good. That being said many of us have created a subculture with a more honorable codex and standing up to things that are wrong is the only way to make changes happen. Most likely nothing will change ... but I have to try ... and if I fail I fail ...

Been there, done that. I can loan you a stained t-shirt from the experience.
