I agree with you completely. And I do hope some kind of dialog can be reached. But as we say in Israel - to make peace and prosperity, you need a partner who is not looking for war.
You're awesome, and are doing an amazing job. Remember that. <3
Hey @berniesanders ! Flag this comment if you need a hug!!!
In the end it boils down to this:
But we are social beings and vote based on other things than reward disagreement.
We need other whales to chime in and state their own opinions by up/downvoting. While bernie at his core os probably well meaning, having only one person decide is not what the network needs.
I disagree with bernie singling out you, so I countered his flags. But I may agree with him flagging someone else. I don't think that he is just evil.
" I don't think that he is just evil."
Unfortunately, I have no reason to think he is anything but evil. Narcissistic, selfish and violent.
You can be sure that your last sentence won't help to defuse the situation..
He has a bot army on my account and every post or comment I make gets downvoted to hell with hundreds of fake accounts. And I assure you - I did NOTHING to deserve it.
How would YOU feel if someone did that? How would you respond? Wouldn't you offer them a hug?
It is your right to be offended and he is behaving irrational in this case. Actions like this will be countered. But this is not the only thing he is doing so I don't want to fall into black white thinking. Nothing good ever comes from that.
Nothing will stop me from offering hugs to everyone!!! <3
But seriously - I am going to believe you that there's good to bernie, even though I haven't seen it.
Sorry to interfere in this
situation, but how about you just don't mention him again and let it all in the past.I'm sure he won't be bothering you if you won't be bothering him. People may see him bad(i sure did when i was just starting browsing the platform) but in some cases he actually fights against abuse and stands for the rights of many. When you act while being furious, no good things will happen.Say sorry and just let it go.I guess you worked hard to build up your account, so why do you want to continue this..thing?Exemple of sorry :
Just my 2 cents
(plz don't flag me)
How about he apologizes for calling me names, attacking me personally and getting carried away? I did not. He did. And I could not care less about this account or money. I just want to see violent bullies taken down, rather than to submit to their reign or terror. Don't you?
Please say sorry @techslut, he's really going after the actual accounts abusing Steemit. I know you are a good person and you worked hard to get where you are. So did he.
Someone being a dick to someone, doesn't justify being one too!!! I remember you came into my anti-plagiarism post and was pretty helpful, and good spirited.
Be the bigger person dude. It's never about what someone did, but how you take it. It takes a strong person to forgive people, and not become derailed from the person others look up to.
<3 shello
I just presented you a way to end this.It is your choice what you do with your time, and your account.
And why do you say you don't care about your account? i see you are here since 2016 September and I'm sure you build some friendships and learned a thing or two from Steemit in that time.
Leaving the platform after a little hiccup seems harsh
Anyway , i was just sharing my thoughts.
I understand that you feel hurt. And that's not what I was aiming for. Telling him that he should flag your comment if he wants a hug is a blatant invitation from you for him to continue what he is doing. But it's your account and your decision.
That statement is the result of my assumption that this comment, like any other I made in the past few days, will get automatically downvoted to hell by the script he put on me. I am not telling him he should flag it, just assuming it will be. If it's not - I'll be pleasantly surprised.
And my account is worth nothing as long as bernie's bots are flagging anything I do down to hell. So I've little to do but offer him hugs in retaliation to his name-calling and personal bot attack on me. It's what I have. Hugs.
You're still doing it, you're just too goddamn ignorant to understand. Not surprised though...
Just wait until later today, you're going to see your rep drop like you never imagined.
Go for it. Come at me. I am sure you've nothing better to do with your voting power. It's not like you want to make the platform BETTER. You want to ATTACK and BULLY people.
And yeah. You REALLY need a hug. Because dude, how can you contain so much hate and negativity? Doesn't that... hurt?
Also, lower than -19? I don't think so. No matter how low you think you can push me, I will NEVER be as low as you. Not only in reputation.
