I should also add that calling somebody 'stupid' is violence in an attempt to control or manipulate the behaviour of another individual. I suspect that those who charge for steem may struggle as others give it away for free which is hard to compete against. As a result, name calling to demoralize or dehumanize people is not appropriate behaviour. is violent and I call anybody out to rebuke them should they engage in any sort of behaviour like that!
Apologies, that was me calling myself stupid, not anyone else just to make things clear.
This does give me a good chance though to apologise for not continuing the conversation on your blog the other day. I was tired and had little more to add. I really appreciate your stance and know this has come with plenty of thought and experience.
I forgive you my friend.
I'm curious as to why you would call yourself stupid. Self abuse is not a healthy thing. However, if the intent was more of a technique to spur on debate, it worked.
Thank you for honouring me with those words. I know that my views can be very challenging and difficult at times. It is not easy. I do appreciate and value your support and willingness to have the conversations, even if we don't agree. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for you because of your approach and your capacity to have challenging conversations while keeping them peaceful. Not many people can do that. Bravo to you for walking the path and honouring people despite their differences.
It was a clickbait title in some respects yes, I don't think it's stupid - perhaps naive and unselfish? Anyway, I'm glad I have you and others taking this approach too, that provides me with comfort and support that we are doing it right.
Thank you @wwf, best wishes to you and all.
ahhhhh. Well the click bate worked! Thank you for the clarification. That feels better as it did not fit in with your character, or at least what I know of you.
I think you are doing great. It is always healthy to re-evaluate and that is what I see this piece as. Steem on!
Peace to you my friend.
