RE: Neds pre mined SP is being used to promote Steem abuse!

It's true that we don't condone plagiarism, however I agree with many others who have responded that you need to change your tone. Did this really require a post? I'm not saying that to be mean, but why can't a simple conversation with him suffice to raise the issue? It seems like you are trying to gain more visibility through controversy, which in essence is working.

As for asking people to remove their votes, why don't you get to know the person first. If you really understood why people were voting for him as a witness you would see that it has nothing to do with his Steem Power, his affiliation with Ned or any other Witness/Individual and what he can do when upvoting a post. @surpassinggoogle does so many things for the Steemit community. He hosts an RPC server to help load balance the traffic from Steemit, He has several initiatives that support a huge number of Steemit users and focuses on countries and regions with struggling economies and the people within those regions, he frequently joins charity events and meetups to spread the word about Steemit and encourage/teach. He gets down in the weeds to meet people and spends time with those who are less fortunate.

I have met him in person on several occasions and regardless of who you are he puts others first before himself. He has so many projects going on that he rarely gets to sleep. For these reasons alone he has my vote and support. With all that he has going on including various health issues and a focus on his family who he hasn't seen in ages, he has very little time to go back through every single post of the 1000's he has probably voted on to adjust his vote.

So a few plagiarized posts got through. That doesn't mean he supports plagiarism. Call the plagiarized posts out and let the community know so they know not to support them in the future. Why attack the person who is doing everything to support the overall steemit community.

You are making speculative claims here. I have already had a conversation with him in which I pointed out that he was supporting a plagiarist. He then asked the plagiarist to add source. But the plagiarist realized that he has been found out, so he deleted that entire article.

He also appears know the plagiarist guy with whom he most likely is talking in private chat. He is also running bots that are negatively impacting the whole site.

He needs to publicly address what is his relation with the plagiarist. He seems to be quite close with him. Added screenshots of my conversation with him below:

I am not the only one who asked:

I did exactly that in my previous post. I published this because I believe the plagiarist is probably someone close to him.

I totally agree. If @littleboy intentions are good, he can talk to 'em like a BIG BOY!
