And of course I have had my screw ups and my ego driven mistakes. I don’t particularly care if you forgive me or not, but I do care about this community and what it represents for the future of social media and the future of humanity. I care if you help me become a better member of the community.
Correct me if I am wrong here, or out of line, but this basically just sounds like a non-apology for shitting on everyone with your newfound SP delegation. More power to you, and do whatever you want, but you should not be surprised when Steemians begin to notice self-upvoted single comments at 20 to 100 dollars, and memes at 80. On top of this, you upvote every single post of your own with the SP at around 70 -80 bucks. This is the free market. It is your right to do so. This doesn't mean it is a good thing for this platform, though. You've scaled back a tad on the meme upvotes recently because a few bigger players became aware and called you out.
I upvote nearly every meaningful comment on my posts.
Most of your posts (usually old YouTube vids/blogs) are full of spam comments and very little engagement.
I want everyone on this platform to know that I value your input. I read most of your comments.
Then why aren't you addressing the death threats happening on your blog's comment sections?
Just be honest. You got a huge SP delegation. That's great. You abused it. Non-apologies don't make that okay. You can do whatever you want. The market is paying attention though. Those of us who were blogging away when Steem was 12 cents (while you were "pissed" at making a thousand bucks from your intro post and pretty much left the platform) can see pretty clearly that this SP delegation is a big boon for your political platform, and not a whole lot more. I invite anyone who thinks I am off base here to go back through this blog and decide if there is a sense of giving a shit about the folks here.
It's great that you promote and fund some folks on here. Not so great that it has also been copy/pasted YouTube vids of chickens with no text, or your friends bragging about how you "crushed" some other anarchist in a debate.
Stop ignoring the death threats. Considering letting your posts stand a little bit more on their own without boosting them all, every day, to the 90 dollar level immediately, and actually put out some new, engaging stuff with an active comment section.
Of course, you can do what you want. This is just one market actor's subjective evaluation. Strangely, though, more and more folks are telling me that the story reads about the same to them as well.
EDIT: This quote is funny:
and boy was I pissed off when I made only a tiny fraction of the money that Berwick earned with his.
I guess it is just a fraction of 15Gs, but...c'mon. Really? Pissed at a cool G for saying "hi"?
I was unaware of the death threats. For something as serious as that, please email me. If they are credible, a response outside of Steemit is warranted.
You voted under the post where I mentioned them. It was in the title, so how were you not aware? You upvoted this comment on that very same post:
The whole comment thread on your own post, where you were voting, is full of them.
Like the top commenter here, I cannot really expect any kind of detailed, direct, or substantial answer from you. You haven’t addressed any of the other points in my comment, either, conveniently, though you say you “care” and want to be corrected.
As for mailing you, I tried to email you, by the way, at the email we had been conversing regularly on prior to our debate, adam@thefreedomline.com, about another issue but have yet to receive a response. You know this, but by all means, keep up the show.
EDIT: Now the top commenter has changed, as per your large vote. The top commenter is now the fellow that called for a “hit” to be put out on a woman, and was specifically describing how he was going to kill people. You know this, because you both upvoted and downvoted the “hit” comment. If you would like to see screenshots I can help you with that.
p.s.....which if I recall right between yourself and I on one of your blogs you never gave me the opportunity to do, you just said don't come back here or else.
See this. He's got time to upvote comments like these at a dollar. But not to address actual concerns raised by @ura-soul or myself. Or anyone else for that matter. After all this syrupy stuff about caring for the Steem community and wanting to know what people think. Dude's a jackass. Please feel free to message me on Steem chat if you really want to talk seriously and in more depth about this stuff.
Now we know he has read this stuff, and is aware, and has still giving a 2 dollar upvote to the crazy old man calling for violent hits and threatening to kill people. Lol. To call Kokesh a Steemian is a fucking insult to this place. Wah, wah, my intro post only made a grand, wah wah. It's almost surreal.
Like I said he's good for some late night laughs with some of that stuff he puts out there, even funnier sometimes is the comments....depends on who also is hitting up his site and thinks he's lost his mind. That video he posted yesterday of that interview with that college student out on the street was comedy gold for this place. He knows he don't stand a chance in hell of getting elected, this is a gig for him that he's found a way to make a living off, way to many people out there who aren't going to waste a vote on a third party candidate, me being one of them.
I totally agree with you on the self upvoting of poor quality stuff...like his less than two minute video he's making money off right now declaring that Weld is going to discuss dissolving the federal
government with him. Everything he does in that manner is no worse then what he puts down our own government for, taking a bribe (delegation) and using it for his own self interest instead of serving his constituents.
Sometimes these people running campaigns don't address all their social media content themselves. They have people running it for them so they can be out campaigning. You know sometimes paid help don't always do the job the way they are suppose to be doing it, they probably just skipped over reading the stuff and automatically upvoted it. I am not saying that is what happened but it's plausible. I think Posh Princess gets a little ahead of the gate sometimes and just blurts out stuff they really don't mean....he/she called me a name one day, I told them it wasn't worth all that...basically trying to say calm down dude, leaving the door open to come back another day and see if we can agree on something.
He just wrote a whole post here about how he wants feedback, and now has ignored the actual questions asked both by myself and @ura-soul. And regarding whether or not he was aware of the threatening commentary, he was active on those posts. Thanks.
I am sure Trump answers all his FB post too, Brittney Spears, Tom Cruise, Senators, Governors, etc.
He repeated that he was serious several
times and described in detail how a “hit” against the “thieving bitch” might be carried done. Then went on to say he’d kill me as well. Yes, he is a crazy old man. Still, there’s really no excuse.
Well I must have missed where he said he'd kill you, I did see where he said a hit could mean anything, not that justifies any sort of violence of any means. Some people troll sites just to get people all stirred up, like in another post he/she said she had been banned from my other blog sites on a number of different blog sites over there, that tells me they just like stirring people up more so then actually doing them any harm...but you never know, on a local network blog here on a immigration debate where we were forced to start using FB to blog this guy looked up my property and posted a pic of my house and address and told people to come demonstrate outside my house. I called the station and they took it down but I had to worry for days to what lengths this guy would go because he was upset with me that I wasn't a open borders person. With Posh it could just be someone showing the true bones of how ridiculous it would be to say that the whole world could be trusted to be on their best behavior towards each other without city/government law enforcement....you never really know online how serious you can take people...some just have a strange sense of humor.
