I honestly don't get this post at all. If you have a problem with someone's "conspiracy theory bs" then why not call them out directly and challenge their views? This site I thought was all about free speech, so shouldn't you be free and open to say who you are talking about? I think I know who you are referencing (TDV) if I had to guess. I also disagree with TDV's sensationalist fear mongering nonsense as well, but I am willing to post comments on his articles and challenge him. I think you should keep at it with steemit, you are clearly very valuable to the community and I think you should take down this "conspiracy theory bs" yourself if you feel that way. I am what people would call a "conspiracy theorist" also but I am always open to new ideas and new information when it comes available. Anyone who knows how much we don't know should keep their mind open and be willing to debate. That's just my opinion, hope you stay. Peace.
"free speech" doesn't mean unrestrained.
the bigger matter at root of my questioning stepping back: OPPORTUNITY COST.
yes, I could engage in challenging others' views all day... what's the point? I have no need to convince/prove others wrong. kind of reminds me of that saying, "don't argue with an idiot, because he'll beat you with experience."
or, "a wise man once said nothing."
perhaps I've bordered on foolishness by even cracking open this far. yet, sometimes one needs to play the fool for reasons not clear on the surface.
not sure I will be leaving - just needed an honest expression to the community of my stance at this point, for a number of different reasons.
