Please remove me from your rolls and the precious the silver mermaid upvote. I don't want to make a federal case out it and I will still be here stacking and posting about stacking, among other things, I just no longer want to be listed as part of the group. This may sound silly to you and that's fine. I found stacking here and will always be a stacker. I have made friends here and lost a few too, and I may lose more by making this choice but I feel I have to.
I'll try to explain, in case you care, but I'm not sure if it will make sense to you because it has to do with my values which are obviously different than yours.
I love personal freedom, for everyone. I really believe that anyone should be able to say or do just about anything they want as long as it does not harm anyone else. I also feel we need more empathy in the world as the population grows. There is too much hate in this world (in my opinion) and it would do us all well to try and be more understanding. Blah blah blah, that's the end of the lecture.
The reason I don't want to be part of the group is that one of the members is posting hateful posts that I don't want to be associated with(I know, unfollow & mute). Again, you may not see it this way and that's fine. I don't like the way it makes me feel so that means it's time for me to go above and beyond, "unfollow" & "mute", and disassociate myself from this person. I tried to work it out but to no avail, so I apologize to anyone who feels slighted by my decision, believe me, it was not an easy one.
I suppose I could have done this directly and privately with the mods but I feel I owe it to the friends that I have made to try and explain my reasoning and be upfront about it with you. I hope to talk to you soon.
Peace & love, peace & love,
@summertooth
I totally get it brother. Those posts were totally uncalled for. I'm not wasting my time trying to get it through his head. It was a fucked up post and your reply was spot on. Hope ypu stick around brother. You got my number.

Oh yeah, I'm still here @silverd510, steem is part of my retirement portfolio ;)
Thanks man, I saw you chime in on that one.
Good. Don't let someone ignorant ruin it. There was no way i was going to get through to him so i just ditto your comment. And like thr UK is in any better shape, they have one person that controls it all. The Sea Hag....
Oh yeah, the stacking community has some of the coolest people I have met and I am proud to be part of it.
That would be me!!!!!!😊
Your leaving the community for a post i made that was not posted in #steemsilvergold. I cant believe you got so offended and we spoke on discord after without you mentioning everything about it at all.
And for the record, others agreed with me, are you gonna stop following them as well as your ethics are different. Good luck - @silverstackeruk
I banged you an upvote for the road and i hold no grudge
Yeah, @silverstackeruk, it's not that I am offended by a single post, though that was a real piece of garbage, it's more that I don't feel comfortable being part of a group whit a moderator that posts hateful (in my opinion) content. Again, I support your right to post whatever you want. I didn't mention it on discord because there was nothing more to say, I mean look, you obviously have a strong opinion and that's fine, I guess I also have a strong opinion and I am acting on it.
For the record, I don't care about the folks that agreed with you and if I follow them I doubt I will unfollow, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I am just not cool being part of a group that has a moderator (leader) that posts like that. I don't hold a grudge either dude, steem on!
Can you please send my tron from the group crypto buy to this address:

Thanks
No worries, i'll step down as mod and leave the community if it makes you feel better. I dont want anyone to leave the community because of me.
I agree. Kindly leave your politics off of SSG.
Thanks, man. Yes, take that shit to fakebook people!
I haven't been around much recently, so I don't know what's happening, but I can respect needing to move on if that's what you feel is best for you. Keep on collecting that shiny and hopefully we'll see you around. :)
Oh yeah dude, I'll still be here. I just have a difference of opinion with someone and I no longer want to be listed with them on the roll. Nice to see you and N.N. around lately. :)
I found this picture for you to use.
Ha ha, good ol' Office. So many memorable quotes from that show.
Love it @themanwithnoname!! This is my absolute favorite!!!
Ha ha, that's another great one. I just watched that episode last week!
I missed the memo. Shake hands and agree to disagree and Let's carry on.
Oh yes, for sure @kerrislravenhill! I'm still #stacking, #posting and using #toomanyhashtags.
Ah Sum Sum.
100% get it. 100% support you always. 🤗
Thanks Dfin, I appreciate that.
@summertooth You and I think a lot alike and I Respect the Fact that You are Doing EXACTLY what is Needed for you. Yes I agree there is a lot of HATE in The World but I am Forever Optimistic and I Feel The World is going To Change Dramatically for the BETTER in the Next Year. I Support what you are Doing........
@stokjockey, thanks for the kind words my friend, that means a lot coming from an original steemit pirate! I am optimistic as well and will continue to post about taking control of your wealth through precious metals and cryptocurrency.
Same as what dfinn and stok said. 100% support your decision. But tell me you'll still be around for the discord fuckery.
Oh, FUCK YES!!!! I ain't going anywhere. And thanks @vgholdingsllc.
Hey @summertooth I have to admit being a bit shocked and saddened by your post.
I understand though and I respect your position. Peace & love to you my friend.
Oh, don't be sad @buggedout, I'm not leaving the platform for an extended time while I move my family to a remote location in the hills or anything nutty like that ;)
I'm just not comfortable being part of a group who has a leader that posts hateful generalizations and then doubles-down in the replies. Thanks for your comment, I'm still around, my man.
Haha. I can see that from what I've been writing (and doing) it does look a bit nutty. I will plead guilty on that front.
I know there's been a few controversial things said and a bit of conflict going on that I really wish wasn't. Though I personally kind of see SSG as a leaderless group with a handful of volunteers doing stuff, so from my perspective those strong views don't really represent me, nor SSG.
That said, I know how it looks. I hope we can figure out a good way to go forward.
This is what I love about Steemit, and SSG in particular, the diversity and learning from other's points of view. I never thought of SSG that way but it makes sense. I actually never thought of it the other way either until that unfortunate post. Cheers my friend.
So how does this work?? You won't be ssg, but I can still follow you, talk to you, upvote you and intetact with you?
I will always respect a person's decision and it looks like you've given this some serious thought. Anything I can do to change your mind?? I kinda like having you about.
Ohh shit, just had a thought... It's not me is it?
** must remember to log back into my main account
Yeah buddy, I'm still here, check out my reply to @steemsickocrypto above, I kind of explain it a bit more there.
Damn. I take a week off of vacation to go to work and all hell breaks loose
HA! I thought you were "working". It's no biggie, really, it's just my own ethics(I guess I still have one or two left). 99.9% of the folks in SteemSilverGold are champs. Oh, and next time you do the 7 push-ups in a walmart can you do them in the hosiery department? :)
