Dear @JAdams2k18,

I'll start by saying that You should not feel bad and personally I don't think You did anything wrong, and since the wallet as some people think, is NOT private, if it was then no one would be able to see it, nor have the ability to send any kind of transaction with memos, the resources on other hand are OWNED by each individual account OWNER, so I guess there are some people that don't really understand the difference between privacy and ownership, not the same thing, specially in the blockchain..

I do share the same opinion as Crypto.Piotr to some extent, mentions are way more intrusive than memos, still I don't mind about either because I'm a small guy roaming around and don't receive that much of either, and even the spam in wallet doesn't bother me, at least not to the point of going around talking s#$& about others who actually do something good for those who need..

Glad to 'hear' that 'our' reception of Your posts somehow give You inspiration ;)

And the memos being used as a 'marketing' tool are as valid as any other mean, I wouldn't personally do that but I would love to see people trying to avoid receiving publicity in the mail box at home, even with the warning stickers and all the warnings to not put it there.

It's not like in the memos by actual people, where You can simply ask to not receive them anymore and it's all good, I guess that there are a few 'snow flakes' out there that are part of a community, but want everything as the ego tells them it should be so it could feed, and anything that comes from another individual perspective isn't valid, only their 'truth' and not truth itself..

..sigh..

Go Gina bot!! (Steem World, SteemAuto and a few other magnificient tools)

Again, I disagree that memos invade any privacy because the wallet is OPEN to consult and send transactions, for the general public around the blockchain..

I used to dislike Jehovah's witnesses before I actually invited some to enter and they preferred to talk at the door because they didn't want to invade my privacy, and after a couple of talks, managed to make some new friends that wanted to know more about my faith and share what they could with me, without getting me pissed off.

(I used to get very mad at them, until I've decided to be a decent human being and saw them as people with other views and faith, only to realise they are just humans as I am, unless they're aliens from another world or inter-dimensional beings, even if they are/were that, they're still more human that the great majority of so called "humans" out there, who only care about their individuality and no one else matters, while consuming all kinds of crap, and believing they save the 'planet', when the planet is the only thing that surpasses any existence of humans and don't need help, even animals, still I do agree that to a degree, should be taken care of but.. I digress..)

..and will have to leave a freakin' humongous quote (I don't agree w/ 100% of it still..)..

“We’re so self-important. Everybody’s going to save something now. “Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails.” And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. Save the planet, we don’t even know how to take care of ourselves yet. I’m tired of this shit. I’m tired of f-ing Earth Day. I’m tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is that there aren’t enough bicycle paths. People trying to make the world safe for Volvos. Besides, environmentalists don’t give a shit about the planet. Not in the abstract they don’t. You know what they’re interested in? A clean place to live. Their own habitat. They’re worried that some day in the future they might be personally inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn’t impress me.

The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles … hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages … And we think some plastic bags and some aluminium cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn’t going anywhere. WE are!

We’re going away. Pack your shit, folks. We’re going away. And we won’t leave much of a trace, either. Maybe a little Styrofoam … The planet’ll be here and we’ll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed-end biological mistake. An evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planet’ll shake us off like a bad case of fleas.

The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after we’re gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, ’cause that’s what it does. It’s a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed. And if it’s true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn’t share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn’t know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, “Why are we here?”

Plastic… asshole.”

Now, please do continue to send posts as long as it doesn't blow up Your funds, heck, lets all become whales and crash the blockchain with memo transactions to the 'snowflakes' until they're "rich", and then see them complain..

Now for some fun, do You even imagine who You've remembered me as soon as I put my eyes on Your photo? Saitama!!! One puuunnnchh!!! HAHAHA

It's very cool of You to care about all this and all but, don't let these 'small minded people' put You down in any way, it's not like if there weren't in the memos a warning part saying that if someone doesn't want to receive them, they could just say it..

I actually felt at one point like going into Venezuela and try to form a militia with locals to fight back but, who the f#$% am I to do that, at most I can receive one or two humans here in my house (not as if I haven't done it before, too many times to count by the fingers in both hands) but it's a big distance, what turn things more difficult (I think I'm digressing a lot today, now let's try to digress from digression..), and definitely Crypto.Piotr is a very good friend, and an amazing human, maybe that is what makes some individuals envy, because they can't be good to others for being self-centred, still, gotta love them the best way we can..

Fun time again, I like cockroaches they survive nuclear and we don't!!

(and when I was a kind I played with a lot of different bugs but was actually scared of cockroaches, have been awake by a big one roaming in my face once, even punched myself, was like 6 or 7 years young xD ..)
(This all reminded me of a 1996 game called Bad Mojo)

Keep it the way You do, in truth and sharing the love, because sharing is caring!! ;)

Have a great day brother, cheers,
Cy

P.S.: You told me it was directed to a good friend, and I've only found out here that it was actually directed to @Crypto.Piotr, I've seen the 'soap opera' started by other user in the community, and I was almost starting an ad-hominem against that person but, another thing I've re-learned here is that, it's never worth it and it doesn't show compassion and love towards anyone, so I've commented here instead and mentioned Crypto.Piotr, just to piss him off a bit xÞ.

I do really love You guys, and a few other people that helped me a lot around this great community, some of them I won't forget even if we never speak again, whether for different opinions or for miss-understandings, because there are small gestures that make such a huge difference.. Actually, even the 'snowflakes' and 'douchebags' have taught me a couple of things, how not to be, for an example..

So, Thank You all
