RE: My Final Plea: Why I'm Powering Down

in #life7 years ago

Just keep upvoting your own shit and you won't have to vote on anybody else's... That is why you commented isn't it!

Sort:  

That was really uncalled for, especially for an account that's been inactive from posting and commenting for a long time and all he did was say the truth.

@acidyo, I'm confused which account was in the wrong? the one that posts frequently or the one that hasn't posted for months?

yep I agree. that attack was definitely uncalled for. I recently gathered enough courage to start posting on steemit, but I am sort of disheartened on day 2 by some poster who can hide behind the internet and attack others.

Well, I'd rather not stake anything in this argument, but don't you lose the courage to post here because of any internet bullies. In fact, if you find any, post about them and call them out on it publicly (obviously if you have sufficient reason to believe they are genuinely negative characters, and not just having a bad day or something). Steemit in its very nature represent freedom of speech, expression, and now, user-controlled flow of cash. We can't allow the internet trolls and whatnot to show up and ruin Steemit for the rest of us.

Holy crap matrixdweller! -15 rep?!

I must have missed something. Who's Steemflakes did you shit in to get that wild rank? (Not trying to be an ass, honestly would like to know)

Maybe it's got something to do with hijacking posts with totally unrelated videos.

This guy is abrasive and presumptuous, as well as completely tone deaf socially. I strongly suspect he's not even a real person, just some Psychological Operations recruit assigned to Steemit to make "conspiracy theorists" seem like complete nutjobs. Like Alex Jones, only he's the toilet cleaner to Jones' middle-manager.

lol, breath friend. He said he upvoted you. He didn't call you a fraud, he just raised a valid concern regarding the bigger picture.

Mouth Of A Gift Horse == Concerns Of Desperation Negatively Affecting Community Quality

Just don't think about it. Good luck with your struggles.

It felt like he was trying to kick a guy that's already down. I'm not powering down or making the post for fun & profit... only out of desperation. I fought it as long as I could

That's understandable. He really wasn't attacking you or accusing you of being a fraud. I'm sorry times are hard. At least steem is rising today, right?

I guess it is... That's something... Watch. by the time I have something to sell it will be under a buck (story of my life) Every time I invest in crypto- it tanks... I'm the Kiss of Death. By the way- don't invest in Ripple or cannabis coin I'm in the process of killing them right now!

Did you catch my offer I posted on my new service? If you can get Venmo set up (owned by paypal) I can at least help save you money while you try to cash out. I also have an individual who is looking to buy in to Steem using my service. I can get it to cycle back and fourth until every need is met. I just need some takers to prove the concept.

The last thing you need right now is to believe your own bullshit stories of failure. Those stories generally turn out to be self-fulfilling prophecies. Thing is, the world is particularly shit right now and it's hitting a gigantic number of people. There are still cracks to crawl through.
As patronizing as it might sound, stay positive.

I stand behind you, @richq11. You have contributed so much valuable content to Steemit. Do what you have to do. I don't have enough Steem Power to dictate my voting power to give you a full vote, but I will compensate for that in other ways. I am praying for you, my friend.

Thank you my friend... If I can ever return the favor just tell me! Winston- Salem huh? I almost went to work for Shields Drywall there.

Yes sir. I've lived in this area most of my life. I had some early life Air Force brat time in Louisiana and Florida. I spent 2004 to 2009 in Las Vegas, but other than that, I've been within a 30-mile radius.

I'm not very well-versed in drywall, but I see Shields is still in business. I bet my Dad knows them well as he spent 25 years as a commercial and industrial painter.

Hang in there. You are a valuable member of this community. Anyone, whale or otherwise, who doesn't see that is projecting too much of their personal power toward what they want Steemit to be rather than what it is....a community that helps each other....especially our valued members regardless of the handicaps the platform itself has.

Shields was/is big, I'm sure your dad knows then if he is a painter. I was in Statesville working on a HCA hospital and Shields hired me but I didn't have tools. There was another drywall company from Pembroke and I hired on with them. I lived with the Indians for about 3 years.

Small world. :-)

LOL, You tell em Rich. I'm sure they find their own content much more enjoyable than any of our trash lol...

You have my complete support Sir :)

Not everyone of them. But just little of them are nice

I used to read your posts some time ago, @richq11 . You are a good writer, and you seemed to be doing fine with your rewards. I believe you should keep writing and stop begging. It's counterproductive. You can only beg once or twice, but you can always write. Some posts will do better, some will do worse.

And please, stop barking at people that raise valid points. That's what you are doing now. And you are doing it to someone who is actually giving you alms!

You just joined last month so how could read my posts some time ago?
