Try to help, and get attacked for it...

in #life7 years ago

Turned a comment I just made into this post. That comment was in response to this comment. Note that this user, @fitnessgoals, has gone on to spam lots of comments on my blogs. He's also deleting a bunch of comments as well, so seems to be in a rage.


If you want the full story: @haejin requested no spam or advertising on his blogs.

@investingtips decided to continue spamming and advertising on @haejin's blogs.

I decided to help uphold @haejin's request. I mentioned it several times to @investingtips, who ignored my requests to stop as well as my downvotes.

I finally mentioned yesterday that @investingtips' reputation will go negative if he keeps that up. He then randomly downvoted a bunch of my posts.

So, I then mentioned his childish behavior, downvoted all the ads of his that I could find. ONLY ADS, not randomly downvoting other content he had created, like he did.

And then I told him what I had done, and told him that I would reverse my behavior if he reversed his and promised to stop.

It's his move. Here's that thread.

Then I replied to @fitnessgoals, who had said:

Don't allow steemit users to suppress truth, here is @investingtips' article that some people are trying to suppress! https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@investingtips/why-cryptocurrency-investing-is-a-terrible-idea-warning-18-only-graphic-language-used

I'm not trying to "suppress" his articles, he can write whatever he wants and note that I did not downvote his article, at all! I only downvoted his spam/ad comments, on @haejin's blogs, which were requested to stop.

In an effort to explain, I posted the below:

How about, pay attention to @haejin's warning when he says "don't spam on my articles" on every blog post he makes for several days while this spammer kept it up. Investing tip: don't spam.

@investingtips: you can still apologize and delete your spam and promise to stop; and, reverse the rage-response-downvotes you made on my various posts, and I will reverse my downvotes.

Your shotgun driveby downvoting doesn't look good on you, though. Still, I'll back down and even reverse if your behavior has truly changed.

Then again if you have @haejin's blessing to behave this way, point it out to me and I'll also reverse my behavior; I don't see everything. Although he hasn't asked me to stop, so, there's that.

@fitnessgoals has decided to back the losing team, and come on my blogs to say what a horrible person I am for helping others. Funny how he only shows my votes, and not the reasons for them or the discussion surrounding these events.

Fine, I have nothing against you, but I will speak out when you say I am a horrible person for helping reduce spam and advertising on someone's blog, who specifically requested that.

I will also note that @starjuno, who is @haejin's wife, has upvoted my comment warning @investingtips. So, the end of my above-quoted comment is unlikely to be the case (that the ads have @haejin's blessing).

Then I checked http://steemd.com/@fitnessgoals, and I see that he's spamming my posts with the above. I didn't ask for spam, but hey, I'm not going to random drive-by downvote you.

In fact, this is turning into a post.




Sort:  

Unfortunately people only comment support on here for you because you have a lot of steem power. I mean look at all the comments with absolutely no substance begging for your up-vote, it is pathetic!

You done wrong shutting down that person's steemit blog and you know it. Fortunately the only place that matters is inside your head and no amount of posts like this could change the fact you know you are directly opposed to liberty, since by putting someones reputation to 0 you stop their posts from being seen anywhere. How is that not a violation of freedom of speech?

YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE AND YOU KNOW IT!

Why don't you spend your energy convincing @investingtips to delete his spam comments, apologize to @haejin, and apologize to me?

Who's being hypocritical, here?

Your account was created on December and you started commenting 8 hours ago Lol . This shows what your true intentions are .

Anyway i'm done with this you know you don't practice what you preach, and that's fine bud! Just try not to get so offended that you need to write a whole post about it to try and pretend to yourself that you are something you are not. Goodbye.

Are you the owner of both accounts?

Do you not understand that yelling at me is getting you nowhere? That perhaps, whispering in the ear of @investingtips to reverse his negative behavior, will have the result of my reversing my consequential behavior?

I'm ready and willing to reverse my votes, so no, I did not "shut down his blog". He chose to continue advertising after repeated warning. He shut it down himself.

You seem like a minnow, why not ask others to vote for you in my contest? Oh, right, you think I'm a horrible person and want nothing more to do with me. Funny, to see you keep commenting towards and about me.

However, note that upvotes and downvotes can't be changed after a week. That's Steemit's deadline, not mine. So, he's got five or six days in which I can reverse my votes. After that? Well, same as now: good luck to you both.

I replied to his article , he can't even FUD properly lol . He should learn from 4chan .

He tried to FUD in his first post https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@investingtips/is-this-the-end-for-bitcoin-has-the-bubble-popped but martket recovered .

After a month he did analysis which suggested to buy Btc Lol

@fitnessgoals account doesn't even looks genuine , 2 months only 5 posts that too resteemed .

There is a TA analyst @salahuddin2004 , he gained almost 500 followers since he started spamming on @haejin's blog .

@abhicrypto You day trade kid, in all fairness let the adults talk and sit this one out, thanks.

Hooo~ly! so that's why you weren't appearing on my feed? some of these mischievous folks act like a 6years old with a chainsaw! a very spoiled 6 year old with a chainsaw! they think they are some kind of mob or I don't know what kind of mental issues they happen to have to behave in such a whimscal way.
@libertytheet I'll try to keep up with your posts, since they are awsomly gratifant to read, and if you wait 6 months I'll complete my .net studies and will help you to solve that last issue regarding the bad display on email refering to steem posts. Hopefully you'll solve them before that time xD.
Keep up th good work dude, and try not to think to hard on these 6year old.

I like your chainsaw analogy!

Good luck with your studies! Yeah I should switch the script back to reading from the blockchain; then, I can format it however I want. (Which will probably just be "borrow some of Steemit's CSS" LOL.)

Really love your ending. Yes, they're behaving badly but what can one expect? My nephew is at a similar age in his life, and I'm not handling it well, likely because I'm recovering from multiple concussions and expect (or, perhaps, want) the world to be more orderly...

Thank you very much for the upvotes on my blog recently and for voting for me as a witness! If you want to contact me, will you join my discord channel at https://jerrybanfield.com/contact/ because I am in there most days?

Thanks Jerry! (And, you're welcome! :) )

I'm not much on Discord but I appreciate the offer, will check it out!

I am sorry you are taking flak for doing what you feel is right.

I hear you, that you were trying to help and instead got caught in this negative spiral of negativity from this person. Sometimes we need to take a step back and sometimes we need to actively get involved. There are risks either way and people will judge us either way. Your intentions were noble and hopefully that will be recognised on the long term.

It seems this person is being toxic and getting off on spamming. I think if you keep downvoting him or responding to him, he will continue. He is acting like any other toxic person (or narc or abuser). Don't feed him, don't be his supply. It might be best for you to ignore him. Perhaps report him to steemit-abuse, and then take a step back and ignore this person so that they stop feeding on you. Your energy is best kept for others who will appreciate it and not take it to fuel their negativity.

Agreed. In fact their behavior makes me wonder if they're not the original spammer/advertiser. Especially, as someone else pointed out, they created that account in December and only now just started commenting.

Either way though -- fighting with a tar baby tends to make one dirty, you're right.

Thanks for explaining to us what really transpire. Even without you explaining, I believe in you and I trust your actions and judgement.

You are a role model to us and you have impacted so many lives. People like that will always exist on a platform like this.

We all love. Continue doing your great work

@libertyteeth you are the best. Don't stop doing good. Keep it up. We love you

That making us understand what really happened with this explanation.

No matter what, you are a mentor and role model to me and many others.
Thanks for always been there

brilliant and grateful work my dear companion.
I am dependably regard to your work. @libertyteeth
Upvote and resteemed you post
