RE: The power of the vote... perceptions vary...

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

hello @dwinblood, i am sorry if my use of the word " poker " made you a little angry, as indeed in retrospect was probably not at all the right use of phrase concerning this subject being treated here. It was just an image of the risk investment involved and I think when one is confronted by such a thing its hard to digest and may put you in a vulnerable nervous space creating possibly later irrational reactions. I am not advocating at all what might be happening. But I think I made it clear in my first comment that this downvoting i did not see or experience personally. but I can see and understand that this has been your case perhaps and so i do understand your anger As anything abused brings harm for sure. We need balance here and support, not the reverse, its clear.

Sort:  

So you say too like me that you have not personally been down voted. But you create this post just to bring light to it !! I see ! Well I think the Witness might be a good solution no?? So maybe suggest it up ! I am really not in a posistion to put pressure anyhwere. It just needs to be addressed perhaps and this system of checks and balance be brought to bear before we leave Beta. As yes it could and yes will do damage potentially to the Steemit politics of doing things I feel. A great community we are and we should remain so no @dwinblood? So with all that said I now upvote your determination and sense of right and wrong here on this platform and the community present and future. may the Force be with you ; - )

It didn't make me angry at all. I have noting against poker. It was just something you mentioned that gave me something to use as an example. :)

If you had commented about Fish I could have made my response to you about fish. Poker just happened to be a TOPIC I could use as an example. So take my response to you and insert ANY TOPIC you like and it will hopefully illustrate what I was saying.

Also, I am not angry. I am definitely concerned. :)
