You shouldn't take this personally. A whale with 1 million Hive Power isn't concerned with the few Hive that are “yours.” Their sole purpose is to ensure the platform progresses as it should. I haven't seen any benefit to making a lot of noise up until now. Many people who make so much noise could find out why they received a downvote by visiting the whale's profile or doing a little research on the platform. Or you could just politely ask them and explain that you won't do it again or that you were misunderstood.

I do not agree I "shouldn’t” take it personally. I don't "have" to take it personally but it would change me as a person to go that route.
I am sensitive and so I do take things personally. I think most people do take it personally and just developed tough skin as a coping mechanism. I am not going to let someone harass me to change who I am and change how I cope.
@kgakakillerg thinks it’s ok to harass me and treat me and many other people this way. I am not going to fight him. I will disagree with him on rewards and keep trying to encourage him to leave real comments rather than spam.
@kgakakillerg literally calls me racist 🤣. You know that’s not true obviously but not everyone does so when he says that it does hurt my feelings.
Look at my interactions with @kgakakillerg . I try to talk to him. I spent Christmas Eve trying to talk to him. I think he needs a hug. Even if I'm being "ridiculous" in some people’s mind, I'm going to be myself.
Thank you for the feedback. I will consider not taking it personally. If there is a way for me to not take it personally without changing myself I haven't figured out how to do it yet and I'm up for feedback on how to get there.
You need to develop a tough skin for the things people say to you. Everyone here has to do this. Without censorship, someone could call you racist or curse at you and the things you love most. Some people don't even think about what they say. Hurting someone's feelings, slandering them, or similar things are insignificant to them. This doesn't make you a bad person, but it makes them a bad person.
I only experienced something like this once on Hive. I was moderating the Hive Gaming community for a while, and I saw someone sharing pictures of his kitchen on Hive. I warned him in the comments and tried to guide him in the right direction. I told him that Hive Gaming was for “games.” But first, he cursed at me. Then he threatened me. Later, he started saying harsh things about the major earthquake in Turkey. It was a difficult time for me because I wasn't married to my current wife at the time, and she was in the earthquake zone. I was following her situation moment by moment, so it was a sensitive issue for me. I muted the person making these comments and downvoted all his posts. Up until that point, I hadn't taken it personally. It was like a child crying because their toy was taken away.
Just because I’m sensitive doesn’t mean I can’t take it. 🙂
Too much tough skin and not enough feeling on HIVE seems to not be working. Just my opinion.
