RE: BEWARE OF DANGERS IN THE SEA OF STEEMIT

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

I remember how we first became acquainted, @papa-pepper. I had a somewhat embarrassing run-in with one or two members who were also your friends as it turned out. Over religion. Judaism, I believe (but I hardly understand all the religions in the world that well so I might have that part wrong for all I know). And you mediated. Now, I'm locked in a battle of wits unfortunately with a young American who for some reason hates jews. And I'm trying to help him see the error of his ways, ironically enough. (It didn't start over religion. It started over a damned meme I made and him downvoting it because he had more SP than me. And then I found some very nasty posts he'd made blaming jews for just about everything and it kind of escalated from there.)

I should of course turn the other cheek (I'm probably twice his age), but I can not let a kid think he can push people - me, here - around. I despise bullies. It'd be nice if he left the site or at least went on a long holiday. I did once ask him why he'd flagged me instead of challenging me to a debate on my meme. He just fobbed me off so I had to give up on that approach. It might get worse before it gets better, but what the hell. I'm all out of ideas as to how it can be ended peacefully. So be it, I guess. Sometimes, there's just no alternative to war?

Love your graphics! :D

Edit: I wouldn't dare stand up to a whale! ;) I'd probably run with my tail between my legs - the sensible option, after all.

Some days it never ends, but at least there are those of us who understand that there are better ways! Thanks man!
