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
Why do I need to apologize to the bully who attacked me and called me a bitch and a moron and made it personal? WHY? I am sorry, but I refuse to kneel and accept his oppressive reign. I have nothing to apologize for.
I was good spirited and helpful and came here to make steemit better. Guess what? Someone shat all over those good intentions, and now you expect ME to apologize to HIM for NOTHING.
Upvoted for good point. On Steemit, you don't need to do anything, nor listen to anyone ever. People can remove rewards, and drop rep, but the only person capable of making you do anything is you.
I'm not expecting anything in particular, but I thought to ask politely instead of sitting idle when I had something to say. This is the first place where I've ever seen others give without even thinking about getting something in return. That's the mentality that creates abundance.
I'm not here to lecture anybody, and I've seen the remarks that have been exchanged from both sides. I would not use those kinds of words, and yes- they were very mean of him. I would have not said those things, no matter how angry I was.
The word ignorant was an interesting word choice to use.
You said that you were good spirited, you still can be. I have nothing else to say.
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.
Friendships will continue off platform as they already have. Also, I was gone for a year and came back last month. I have about 3 months of accumulated activity on the platform. Yeah, steemit helped me understand a bit more about cryptocurrencies, but this here war is teaching me A LOT about the reason for the failures of decentralized platforms and anarchy in general. In any anarchy, there will always be a dictator claiming he's not one.
I seriously doubt that apologizing will end this. First, the only thing I can apologize for is (almost) descending to his level of communication in curses and threats. And yeah, I am sorry I let him rattle me so.
Second, do you HONESTLY think he'll stop attacking me if I apologized and knelt like a good little slave? Nah. He's enjoying being a bully way too much to stop now.
Apologizing does not mean accepting to be a slave or knell before a higher authority.
He actually said that he would have stopped if you would have stopped .Like i said , if you stop bothering him , he will probably stop bothering you .
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.
