RE: Gridcoin Liberation Front: 1st voter subsidy summary

in #gridcoin7 years ago

i understand that people tend to think within the current paradigm, however you should ask yourself the overarching question:
if some people are willing to sell their voting right where do you get the authority to withhold them from doing so (by banning/shaming/restricting etc.)?

Sort:  

You're missing the point I think... @cm-steem is saying you are trying to buy the removal of a project, and you have straw-manned that argument into

if some people are willing to sell their voting right where do you get the authority to withhold them from doing so

So, yes, you are trying to buy project removal. That being said, I think Moo! Wrapper should be removed.

well, saying that i am trying to buy the removal (via the 8.7 GRC that i sent back to grc-lf) is not an argument. it is a fact. my point was why are you guys acting like it a shameful/immoral thing? i can give you the scientific philosophy arguments, or i can tell you if you remove a project you get (1/(n-1))-(1/n) increase in your daily gains, or i tell you that seeing this project go is worth 8.7 grc to me and i am willing to give it to you. i don't see any problem with any of this. i would like to hear moral philosophy arguments to the contrary, not the usual, omg they are buying votes slogans.

my point was why are you guys acting like it a shameful/immoral thing?

Because free speech? I can voice my disapproval, it's not an attack.

free speech is the condition/right that enables you to do what you are doing. i was more interested in what makes you act like you do. in other words why are you disapproving. of course you can say "because i can" but that's not really informative and mature

if some people are willing to sell their voting right where do you get the authority to withhold them from doing so

I'm doing no such thing, I'm just posting on Steemit about my own views on the matter. There's nothing you can do to stop such a practice & nobody can ban/restrict you on Steemit. I do think it's better to buy your own vote weight, because that'll create buying pressure, lol.
