Because a lot of your post rails about people voting for things they don't know or see. I was just adding to the discussion that I base most of my voting on the members I support via my followed. I like to view my curation as supporting the person as well as the content they make available. I wasn't preaching to you. Just stating what I like to do to keep things productive and honest.
I just went and looked. I have voted for quite a bit of your posts and re-steems.
"The Follow function exists for a reason"
That sounded a bit like preaching.
I still don't understand why you addressed it at me ("base your voting "). I think that you may need to address this explanation towards "people voting for things they don't know or see", not me. Nowehere was I writing about myself.
Anyhow, what you say is exactly what I support and what I think that "the investors" should do, instead of just curating anything as long as is brings them profit.
Yes it's there so we can sort our activities here and make sure we don't miss something that's been published by people we appreciate. Much like I do everyday with what you post.
Sometimes comments are intended to be included as part of the general discussion and not necessarily pointed toward anyone in particular. You're dwelling too much on a part of a comment that really isn't the main idea.
Language can be ambiguous sometimes. That's why it is better to exactly precise to whom we address our point across. Better not to use "you" while having a dialogue with someone when we actually talk about someone else or people in general.
