I'm writing this on Busy, as I much prefer its UI. I just need them to display images and GIFs and get the writing editor fixed. But I like it so much, I'm still using the editor right now.
I found myself on Twitter today giving Tone Vays a hard time. He is a bit silly. Even though I was critical of Steemit in the past, I never resorted to calling it a scam. It's not a scam. A game, maybe, but not a scam. I sent Tone Vays a request to discuss Steem in one year's time. I think he agreed to that. Here's his latest responses to me on Twitter:
At any rate, I'm now asking the Steemit community for help in deciding what to do for the next Steemicide Hotline episode. Tone Vays seems like a good one to impersonate, what do you think? I'm thinking of cutting off my hair, so this would give me a good reason to do so.
What account/person/plot would you like to see in the next episode of Steemicide Hotline?
Here are some ideas I had in mind:
Tone Vays Vs. Dan
Busy Meets Steemit at a bar
@asshole self-destructs and restores peace to Steemitsville
{Your Ideas Here}
Have the Steemicide numbers gone down recently?
It certainly feels that way, but I'm not sure.
I don't know about you, but I drank about 5 gallons of Steem Kool-Aid recently, and I'm seeing pink unicorns and rainbows everywhere.
It's causing me to write lengthy Medium articles expounding on the multi-threaded benefits of using the Steem blockchain. I think that Kool-Aid was laced with highly energized busy bees who deposited some mysterious honey in it.
I guess my mania has returned. THANK DOG.
I will leave you with one of my latest videos that shows @dantheman spinning his magic Steem Tag Trendolizer:
I need a job on answering those hotlines
so do I. Maybe we should form an LLC? I think we would have customers...
Now I see rainbows and unicorns :) chasing for customers
I like :
Maybe we open a hotline for both Busy and Steemit?

I think Tone would be good. Can you incorporate the doll that came back from a photoshoot somehow too? Oh and a muppet character like Animal those make me laugh out loud for real!
ok, it looks like Tone Vays is my next victim. Yeah, I can bring back that doll. You love her don't you? Problem is, my daughter has misplaced her head:
Damn - maybe you could do some Frankenstein like repair with an alternate head!
no! I'll try to find it. I love that head also.
Lol that's like one of those "said the vicar" jokes!
you've become a Twitter fiend recently.
It is really quick to use and seems to have a lot of influence compared to other places like Facebag.
bahahahaha!!! I just LOL at the Burger King here online, at the Facebag comment. Dying.
Yes! I love that it's like a world rolodex! I can reach and bother Tone Vays in a number of seconds! It's brilliant.
Exactly it's the only place where you can have a good chance at speaking to anyone.
LOL
what a perfect depiction of Vays
can you tell i have painted on fake cleavage in the main photo of this post?
Not bad - I didn't see until you pointed it out! Looks good though. Also the blonde hair suits you - you should try it out.
wow, it's been awhile since i could give someone 7 cents for a comment....
Must be nice! The most I have ever given is 4 cents I think when the price was higher but I vote a lot too so my power is usually low. BTW the Steemitalk Postcast is on you should totally go on there and ask for ideas there too.

we just filled up an entire page! Imagine what will happen after the hard fork when the nesting limits are released????
OH God! That's just a play acting personality. It's my make believe world. I couldn't seriously go out like that.
Lol that is what is so awesome. You could turn it into a super prank in Jerky boys style.
You do realize that after the hard fork takes effect that you'll be making bank because of your mad commenting skillz?
Sure, I used to pull all kinds of shit like that in my twenties. Time for a mid-life crisis and start all the shit up again. Actually, I never stopped being a bad bitch. I just took a little time out to have a kid.
I don't have time for those super long comments now though. Some of those used to take half an hour or more to make! Most of them are pretty short now like this.
yes, but you still cannot help yourself by replying to every comment to you.....
Awesome you should film it too. I love that kind of comedy - seems to have fallen out of vogue lately but was big about a decade ago with Jackass and Punkd.
I can totally stop any time. BTW come onto the STP postcast.
is it happening right now? what's the link?
Here is the link for it: https://discord.gg/W4a4R
thanks
Tone Vays & Fyrstikken share bits & drinks at Pub Steemit with bartender Dan.
ha ha! That's a funny image to my mind....thanks for suggesting it.
I think you should set up a roundtable discussion IRL with Tone and 1 other Steemit detractor of his choosing vs. @ned and @dan / @dantheman
and if that goes well, or not well, it turns into a cage match for #Liberty.
nice idea ,
@barrydutton if you need 3D images rendered , don't hesitate to ask :)
I had no idea you could do that stuff. I am not the most gifted online with techy stuff.
i am probably the wrong person for this.....
Mmm... KOOL-AID... lol
I would love to see a video on the personifications of Steemit and Facebook in a death cage match fight. I think that would be fun. hahaha...
Celebrity deathmatch / corporate edition :D
It seems like Steemicides come in waves, as folks confront change that happens too fast - or too slow - or in ways that don't go with their views.
How about some Guild vs. Guild Smackdowns? There's tension there and plenty of personalities involved!
hmmm...which guild vs. guild? you mean some of the people not liking a certain guild?
It seems like there's been, at least, confusion about potential cross-purposes or behavior, about some guilds. Whether curie, steemtrail, steemvoter, steemguild, or others. Which guild finds the better posts? Which guild is self-dealing? Which Which guild promotes Steemit better? Which distributes the Steem better? Those are the questions that would get folks' interest.
Of course, the fun questions are different -- Which guild spends the most time and effort deciding about what a post should get? Which guild has a theme song? A mascot? ; )
What I would love to know: who in those guilds presses the whale-backed account upvote button?
I think we understand more about that from posts over the last few days. This platform is so interesting - in part because people do talk about what's going on behind the scenes, with evidence from the block-chain. That's part of what keeps me here on Steemit. Something new is developing and people are figuring out how to deal with it. That's always been happening in the corporate offices, not out in the open. That's progress!
I agree!
I understand Tone Vays view. I see ETC as a scam, as it's only supported by bitcoin maximalists and the DAO thief. I guess this merry group also contains people that think blockchain shouldn't be changed ever, under any circumstances and to me, that's just foolish. Especially considering the state ETH still is in. Many wouldn't agree with me on this view though.
And when he talks about Steemit being a scam, I think the issue is how the mining process in the start happened and how the wealth is mostly in the hands of very few and not really being distributed good enough. Also there might be issue with how the witnesses were for the most part from bitshare, a Dan's previous project.
Maybe our views will change with coming years though.
Since you used the busy editor. This is just a side suggestion. Perhaps, you can add this to your list. Something about where the messages on busy.org go to and especially when you send a message to a tag. . . I found myself clicking on a tag on busy and sending a message to it. I wonder where that message goes to. Plus, even messages to individuals, I don't know if those go to either. I just wonder but especially messages sent to a tag on busy.org
actually, those are chat channels that are defined by tags. So, let's say you're really into anarchy, you can open up the chat messaging and talk to others who are also really into anarchy.
okay, thank you alot. i am doing a post today, that will contain some ideas for videos. it is quite interesting!
the private messages do in fact go to people. i've done it several times.
Oh Vayes never disapoints with his clueless rants from Bitcoin maximalist land.
hi @stellabelle, i wrote a post that may give some additional ideas. kindly see it.
