RE: How You can Preserve Biodiversity: Endangered Island Pigs

in #news6 years ago

First, his comments are often defamatory, and have on occasion descended to sexual harassment and threats of violence that are probably both actionable in civil court, and criminally. Second, his virulence is extraordinarily public, and many people feel his actions so degrade the public image of Steem that he personally reduces the price of Steem by discouraging adoption and use of Steem by the potential market.

Lastly, he isn't very personable, and I don't like him. Since what of his comments to me that can be understood are pretty much limited to threats, he's literally menacing. That seems to be the extent of his personality. The only positive initiative I am aware of that he was involved in was @themadcurator, which I attempted to defend when the flagwar I am now embroiled in began between he and FTG.

This is the result of having anything to do with @berniesanders, even when attempting to encourage him to positively impact Steem. That's about as much thought and effort as I'm willing to provide, unless you have specific questions I can answer.

Sort:  

You are absolutely fucking clueless and have no idea what you're even saying. You've never even had a real conversation with me to be able to just how personable I actually am.

I'd love to see some examples of threats of violence or sexual harassment that I've made. You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?

Keep talking out your ass little man.

@berniesanders made a copy cat account of me in January called: @lyndsayblowes . Using my photo. The account has caused a lot of harm on the blockchain. He still uses it to spam. It's never been flagged in to negative reputation by @cheetah // @steemcleaners // @spaminator even though it has been reported many times mostly for spamming NSFW on the blockchain. Using my name and face at that.

@berniesanders used my photo of baking cookies with my children to harass me with, using his alt accout @abusereports.

Comment by @berniesanders to a user named @Nickgrujic saying "I'd love to put a bullet in your head".

Are these the kind of things you are referring to @valued-customer?

Way to completely misrepresent the comment to @nickgrujic without showing the full context. I stand by my statement and have the legal authority to defend myself which is exactly what that comment was stating, again, when not misrepresented like you have done.

And what about how your lord and savior @fulltimegeek does far more damage to the chain on a daily basis than I have ever done?

And what about @beaniesanders, an account you created to impersonate and harass me?

And what about the constant coordinated harassment by you and your sheep like @kerrywolf, @nickgrujic, @mitrado, etc.? No comment on that either, eh? (P.S. - anyone can look at the comments on any of those accounts to see the real truth)

(DAMN, that’s a lot of “And what about....? Funny, eh?)

That’s what you imbeciles tend to do though, hence the earth being flat, and hosting aliens, right?

Another miserable fail on your part, Lynds. Also, nobody gives a flying fuck as you can see by the lack of attention you’re receiving from anyone but me and your 7 followers. You’ve again made yourself look like the slowest kid on the short bus.

Full context is 100% available on the blockchain. I realize this, do you?

You may not grasp that your comments constitute legally actionable torts regardless of what others may or may not have said. Nothing anyone can say might justify threatening to shoot them, and that is a criminal threat in every jurisdiction I am aware of.

I have previously counseled you to moderate your comments, but you seem both intransigent and incapable of it. I am confident that if that remains the case, your intolerable presence on Steem will eventually end.

How much you wanna bet that when that happens, the price will rise?

My statement referred to you as a factor suppressing price of Steem, due to your bellicosity and written abuse. You flag a lot, and people don't like it. Newbs are put off, and stay off Steem because of it, and that reduces upwards pressure on price.

Do try to keep up.

Enjoy this one too!

I'm simply sending a message. Where I encounter your noxious presence, it is flagged. I don't expect to apply economic force against you, nor am I particularly seeking to rally society - since I don't think it will be necessary. Your own acts are going to do far more than I ever could to take you down, and that's a fact. I just want to be on record, on the blockchain, as flagging the most toxic account on Steem until it goes away.

It's only symbolic, but it's symbolic of resistance to toxic abuse, and that's a message I want to leave behind me here on the blockchain, for all time, to show people that there is no need to fear bullies.

They're only bullies because they're afraid.

That being said, it becomes more apparent that your symptoms indicate probable abuse in your childhood, perhaps coupled with narcissistic or borderline personality disorder, and probably major depression. I'm not competent to diagnose, but I've seen similar mental derangement before, and it's hard to not recognize on display here.

When you feel the darkness closing in around you and no one is there to help you, you can reach out to professionals that will be there for you. I hope you can, when the time comes. Don't hesitate to call on me if you feel no one else can be there for you. I won't be able to do much but have empathy, but I won't call you names, or belittle your pain.

When you outgrow the denial that you hide your pain behind, good people will help you through that next step: embracing humanity.

Those are indeed exactly what I was referring to. On the post you link to first, you can even see my comments to bernie recommending he moderate his comments to avoid litigation. I am not quickly moved to anger, and have made every effort to reasonably engage with him, but as you can see here today, it has been to no avail.

Thanks!

"That's about as much thought and effort as I'm willing to provide..."

It seemed a solid elaboration to me. I appreciate it.

I even get the bonus of what unfolds below to help sate my curiosity.

@lindsaybowes has far more personal experience than I, and her comment is exemplary of what I have but a wee grasp of. Her blog demonstrates her sound character, and while we have disparate interests, I found it such a good example that I am now a follower.
