RE: Desi Foods in Karachi To Try
Don't pull the race card dude. You shouldn't expect upvotes for having brown skin. That's racist in itself.

I don't agree that its racism, but I also don't like the bullying. I don't like it any more with this guy (who I do not know at all and have no connection with) than I liked it when @masteryoda was the target. I'll reply more fully elsewhere.
Yeah to clarify, I'm not hopping on the anti-mrron bandwagon here, but I couldn't let some racist expectation of upvotes for having a certain ethnic background go unchallenged.
@klye Yes I have flagged some of Dan's posts when I thought they were overrewarded (along with others) but I didn't turn it into a crusade. I just flagged, posted a comment stating why, and left it at that. Without evidence of actual abuse, I'm not going to start throwing accusations around, I'm just going to vote my conscience and continue on with Steeming.
I thought Steemit has a way to show dislike an article for any reason - isn't it the flag button? You get to state your opinion based on how much the system values your opinion. Trying to over exert you influence by making unfounded accusation in replies is imho extremely abusive. Even now you do not issue an apology but you imply that you will continue efforts to prove your "suspicions". What if someone asked you "do you still beat your wife?" answer yes or no? I will continue to participate in Steemit because I seem to have non-vocal supporters but this community is not ready for the mainstream scrutiny.
Thank you Stmooth for being vocal and standing up to bullies.
That's not bullying ! After reading his blog I feel the same .
I usually never complain about anybody , focus on my own content and people I personally value but don't you think @kyle has a point ? I'm a bit tired of politics and ego issues of so called popular members on this platform . I truly hope for a fair voting system soon . Meanwhile I appreciate all my 177 followers and move on until I am capable of rewarding those I choose .
I have no intention of bullying here smooth nor do I have any ill will against @mrron to be honest. I just honestly think that this content is waaaay overvalued considering it's a bunch of "public domain" pictures and some fluffy bits about how to order them.
Maybe I'm completely out to lunch. But I've got a hunch that this particular user isn neither living up to their full potential nor actually creating truly original content that warrants such insane rewards.
I think this may be a prime example of how we will see people game the system in the future. I honestly hope I'm wrong and @mrron goes on to make a sweet verification post and makes me eat my words.. But until that time it doesn't look good from where I am sitting for anyone. :/
edit: I've seen you do it on a few occasions smooth when you would put a flag on one of dan's developer posts or something else you figured was over valued. Now I'm not 100% condemning @mrron I would like to see some more evidence that he's an actual person and not just some whale farming account.
