Are you saying I'm an authoritarian control freak? Lol. Love it. I'll take that on the chin for sure. Absolute freedom is all well and good, but I'm on the part of the spectrum that dislikes dishonesty and laziness and people getting rewarded for it, so, meh, whatever.
I don't think it's 'despicable snitch' when it's trying to protect greater good, but totally recognise that we might be coming from different angles there, though I'm sure we ultimately see eye to eye on quite a few things! :)
Hey, sorry for the delay in replying babe. But I know that you know that I know you pretty well. And I know that you have a sufficiently lofty sense of humor to stand well my provocative comments. And thus, I know you can take my dexterous jabs on your chin without harm you. I certainly know you don't have a crystal jaw. ;o)
I was just using you as a reflector and projector for all those who have no sense of humor at all and might try to refute my daredevil comment because you made it too easy for me. But no one showed up, no one dared. LoL
So, excuse me if that comment may have been perceived as too harsh and confrontational. I was really trying to hold back and save more harshness in case you or someone else responded to my a bit longer comment at the bottom of this post.
Nonetheless, my remark that every authoritarian control freak always try to turn everyone into a despicable snitch, still stands! };)
Oh phew, I actually immediately felt a little confronted and upset but I try my best not to react from that place, take a deep breath and see the intention and thoughts behind it, which didn't take me long in the end haha. I know exactly where you're coming from and completely understand it. I do think we're probably coming from the same place really, as most of us are in the end, though it doesn't always seem like it given the debates that arise here from time to time :).

Totally get that, and I will totally keep an eye on that side of my being-on-Hive-ness, as always!!
Everyone here knows you are a smart girl with a good intuition and a fine sense of humor. And it is better for you that you convince yourself of the same thing regardless of the eventual ironic tricks & sarcastic thrusts of an old fox like me who likes to stir things up to create a good debate from which we can all learn something new and really valuable. I just guess I've gotten already really old and now the "choral" voices singing in unison in the same tone are starting to boring me and bother me a bit too much. };)

I bet that's the case! I am clear that you actually do your homework and you really do your tours through the corridors and cells of our "social network" on the blockchain. How couldn't you being doing your homework, living in Australia surrounded by so many eerie animals, reptiles, insects and weird, dangerous and poisonous bugs everywhere? That's what I would call first-hand experience. Hahahaha

Of course we have come from the same place. And I fully understand that some, because they are still young, suddenly accept jobs and responsibilities in a place performing some difficult tasks & unpleasant labours which are not natural for them. But that in order to please their bosses, sometimes many of them lose track of where they are standing and may think that they have arrived at a different and more privileged place that prevents them from continuing to be the same person from the original place where they started.
Me, who I am already quite old and fortunately retired and away from all that crap, sometimes I can't help but advise them to buy a compass right away.
Totally get that, and I will totally keep an eye on that side of my being-on-Hive-ness, as always!!
Excellent! and just continue to carry out your work with fairness and good judgment and do not allow anyone to ruin your lofty sense of humor. Not even from an old curmudgeon and Cranky Gandalf like me. :)
I sure will when I spot a suspect post.
¿Why? why the hell every freaking authoritarian control freak is always trying to convert everyone into a despicable snitch? ¿WTF?
