RE: Feminists Feel Inferior to Sex Robots. Want Them Banned!
I would just like to comment on this part.
@teknow and @samstonehill I ask of you to go read what he was posting on in general 1 before you came in.
He was being rude, sexist, homophobic and racist. All at the same time.
I tried to reason with him. Tried to calm him down but he just wouldn't listen.
Honestly, I was trying to do my best to get him to speak clearly and to let him speak.
But unfortunately he wouldn't do that.
And kept on being really inappropriate on chat.
And literally swearing at everyone who was there.
THAT is the reason why I wanted him muted/kicked out.
He was using several accounts on Steemit.
Now I am not clear on the rules here on that but that was not what my intention was.
My intention was simply to stop someone who was being utterly unreasonable from being very inappropriate on Steemit.chat. That is all.
Hey I respect you for providing a logical and reason based explanation. I agree that he was going about it very badly. I did see the comment where he referred to you as "just a picture of pussy" so without seen the rest of the conversation I do believe what you are saying.
He did deserve the mutes he got on all accounts. However I think he felt that he was ganged up on... and this is why I tried to calm him down before he was removed. That is something that exists on steemit. Circles believing that they have the right to be authority. It's not good for the platform. As stated though.. I really applaud your input where you have exercised logic and not simply turned to defense mechanisms.
Thank you for the clarification with this.
I get that 100%. He was pretty rude with me and I was just trying to help him! So I can imagine.
There are no rules. Only guidelines. And we are all finding our way in the world largest social media experiment!
Though one thing is for sure. He who has the most SP (or connections to others with high SP) wins the flagging battle! Personally I choose to focus on finding & upvoting posts I resonate with, rather than downvoting posts I do not agree with.
I have been chatting with @reneenouveau today regarding her flagging. And whilst she refused to discuss the reasons behind her actions, she did take the time to remove her flags on the recent posts from one of the accounts she is focused on.
Perhaps in future she will use her flag more sparingly.
@teknow let me know if she continues to flag your work without good cause.
