RE: A call to separation of powers in Steemit
one question, do you think spoiled children with a devotion to illogic masquerading as logic and godlike powers will ever vote for themselves to be defanged and declawed? i have read some of the extended posts by these giant children and in my assessment, they are not acquainted with logic, nor have they ever viewed it from afar.
"devotion to illogic masquerading as logic and godlike powers will ever vote for themselves to be defanged and declawed" This is hilarious.
doing my best to keep from descending into epithet and vitriol. people who are anti-individual liberty get right up my nose. people keep saying that my comments are funny. i never thought of it. maybe i could do some weird flavor of stand-up. thanks for the comment.
Your comments are powerful, intelligent, blunt and yes funny!
You are defintely one of the most talented writers I've read here :)
wow, thank you very much. it just wells up from within when i feel strongly about a subject, like a scene that i want to paint. i never was any good at actual painting, but i love words.
I thought of it this way: When kings and their subjects are so busy kissing each other's feet, they lose their night vision.
they must have shiny feet, these apple polishing flunkies. blinded in adulation. i get what you mean about they lose perspective. it's difficult for me to maintain perspective with toes in my mouth.
I apply Scholl anti-whale (sorry anti-fungal) powder!
@stellabelle - your opinion would be highly valued in this post: https://steemit.com/steemit/@mindhunter/a-1-5-pre-mine-of-steem-power-by-the-founders-is-acceptable-an-80-pre-mine-of-steem-power-by-the-founders-is-not-acceptable
'defanged and declawed' - that is the line of the day for me - and I've read A LOT today!! I agree on the logic score. We need to defang these children and start letting some adults into the room - FAST!!
defanged and declawed, comes from some classic literature, i think Aesop.
I will hunt it down ;) Thanks.
what flavors does it come in? cool stee-mint?
I keep considering doing a post with nothing, but various whale comments throughout the community. I also fear being flagged and I have worked really hard on my Reputation.
I've just started producing science articles in order to reduce the probability that my post will induce whale flags. Sad, but true. Perhaps in the future, I will be writing the truth again. ? Big question mark.
Indeed it’s very sad, I have faced a similar situation earlier when I was posting photography, everything was fine until all hell broke loose on me and the first flagging campaign started. You can find out more details in this post.
Even though I was not convinced what I was doing was wrong like the authority had decided, and I wanted to continue posting external content to enrich this platform, like it’s done on all similar platforms I decided to switch my posts to stats to avoid controversy which I thought was not in the best interest of the platform at the time.
Everything was fine again for a little while, then the flagging restarted, this time claiming the reward for my posts was too high according to a single person.
So moral of the story is that when you are successful and people like your work, you will definitely attract envious individuals who will do their worst to get you flagged and get your work belittled and ruined.
I have been encouraged by your previous comments on my discontinuing stats posts post to continue my work regardless of the oppression that is unjustified flagging. I hereby ask you the same, don’t give in to the chilling and intimidation that aims to silence you.
It’s truly liberating and empowering to be able to speak freely, I hope all efforts will be made to grant freedom of speech and thought to the people here. Otherwise it will be the end.
Keep it up @stellabelle!
Never steer away from truth. What's the point of this whole thing if that's what it has turned into? If truth is not rewarded here, then fuck this whole platform. Let it die if that's the case.
i think the whole conversation here boils down to, what else can we do except bare our fleshy throats and hope the bloodthirstiest of the whales don't bite. i will help you however i can. without other whale support, of the more beneficent kind, what is there that can be done? let me know what i can do, short of ending with my head in a basket.
Depending on wat you say I guess @whatup
They just can't simply down vote because of some partial views
Some whales are down voting for $value, and others because they want to silence any information regarding negative views on SteemIt. I don't know what if anything we can do about it. I feel it just adds to the those who say SteemIt is a Scam. These "kids" do not understand when you silence people it make it look worse.
I was an early adopter of Facebook. Mark Z, was your first friend back then. He didn't go around deleting posts that talked about. Myspace.com, and there were a lot of harsh words back then. He wasn't the all powerful Mark Z, yet either. He was just mature enough to let it all play out.
exactly: "These "kids" do not understand when you silence people it make it look worse."
I don't know mark.
I definitely think is not right just to silence everyone just like that.
