I love what you are doing and support it 100%. In fact I would like to make a call out to as many steemians as possible to do exactly what you have laid out in your post. If hundreds or thousands of us were to upvote the people who are hit and downvote this dick he would not have any power on steemit. For thousands of years we have had dictators and tyrants use these fear tactics to control the masses. On steemit the masses have the ability to use their small power in union to actually stop this guy in his tracks. You asking me to meet his demands is exactly what he is trying to acheive. Doing so would be playing directly into his hand. 3.5 days does not even come close to solving the real issue. If it did I would have done it long ago. The real issue is abusers. We are coming up with a blacklist that will be shared between all owners and can also be built onto by all owners. Once it is complete it will actually help the abuse issue. Also, these abusers are not profiting as much as it seems to people. most are breaking even or even losing a little. lol
I would most probably reply the same if I were you.
I had to try a quick and harmless solution by persuading you.
Thank you for your support.
It will take time.
It will and I fully understand why you would try to persuade me also.
Personally I will not be bullied, and more so, I will not allow my community to be bullied. We will put a stop to this guy one way or another.
It's a little funny to me actually because if he only knew the work that us owners have already done to combat this issue I'm sure he'd back off but he just doesn't want to talk or resolve with anyone.
He is not very open to reasonable talking.
He listenes, replies but does what he wants.
I can not fully understand his motivation also. It is not clear to me.
Why would someone with 500k SP deal with such things?
What is in it for him? Is he as zealot as he seems or is there a hidden agenda I can not understand ?
Do you have a theory on it?

So far he has made a fuck load of money from this little game. Since he hides under the guise of seeming like he is doing something noble people miss that he is upvoting his own shitty comments super heavily.
The only thing I see that he is gaining though is power. This is power that is rightfully ours that we simply cannot freely give to him.
When you strip rewards from someone and it goes back to the pool then you upvote yourself heavily you are actually stealing. Stealing is criminal anywhere in the world.
Thank you for the explanation.
Now I am digging deeper into the Steemit economy.
This is interesting to know how stripping rewards increase your upvote income...

Appreciate the shit outta that brother.
You got it man :)
Dear @michaeldavid ;
You can read my road so far & action planI am in a continious but slow going resistance to @grumpycat. here : https://steemit.com/life/@firedream/stop-the-grumpycat
I don't want innocent people to be flagged by this bully.
All my calls to reason him is in vein.
Can I make a request from you as a minnow ?
Decrease your upvoting time to 3,5 days.
Do not do it because @grumpycat requested...
Thank you for your consideration.
