That is just me revealing my inner idiot to the world : )
It's actually quite an awesome thing for you to do.
I was going to ask @shello after an exchange with her but you would probably know far more than she. So,
She made a great point regarding the amount of posts per day @haigin or whatever his name is, makes.
The question is, has any request been made to him regarding the amount of post he makes per day?
I know you get on with @lukestokes and he seem to have a good working knowledge of Non Violent Communication. He may be invaluable in resolving this issue in a more harmonious way. If he has the time and inclination that is. Just a thought
I was talking with some people about this yesterday. If the retaliatory flagging on both sides stop, and we can just have it be reasonable downvoting based on disagreements over rewards, there might be an opportunity for involved parties to get together and discuss it. It would make for a great MSPWaves show.
But yes, much more NVC is needed in the world and here on Steemit. Lots of tragic expressions of unmet needs going on.
You're definitely right, both @themarkymark, and @lukestokes are far more experienced than me. Seeing less waring in the future would be fantastic. When something highly discouraging happens here, it lowers the morale of the community affecting motivation, thus quality.
I agree with @lukestokes that flagging someone "because they flagged x person" is ilogical and fanning the flames. I'm grateful to know @themarkymark and others have tried. That shows me that everyone does get chances to change and improve, no matter what the original offense was.
It has been discussed and was clear it wasn't going to change. Many have approached him.
