RE: Hugs for Everyone! (A rant on growing up wild)
I have given plenty of information about me, but names, addresses, SSNs etc., are just guarantees of targeting.
I haven't been merely harassed, I have been physically assaulted by a snitch in front of my youngest son, and the DA then protected the thug.
The NSA isn't gonna drive here and beat me up, nor go pick on my kids. Locals will. Particularly when I reveal information about the criminal activity local law enforcement undertake.
Which they do. Big money in meth hereabouts.
I am not trying to expose you. You should move meth people are not a good neighbours under any circumstances.
I got attacked by sneak when I was asleep last night.
Steemit sucks because of little punks like him!
I was at 37 rep when the bitch attacked me, he is one sick mofo He used both of his shit accounts. Seems he is just all over steemit attacking people. Doesn't that ass have anything better to do with his time?
I note bullies attack the defenseless, so they can pretend they're strong. Sorry to learn of your misfortune!
The #freezepeach outfit has a discord. @r0nd0n will do what he can to help, as will @crimsonclad and the rest of the good folks that so strongly support free speech that they dedicate as much of their SP and VP to countering unwarranted flags as they are able.
Steemit devs should definitely face repercussions professionally for this kind of conduct. That @ned seems to be taking no action to rein in such abuse both saddens and alarms me. He may not be the staunch advocate of free speech @r0nd0n is, but I would be surprised to find him CEO of Steemit without strong interest in the issue.
When @berniesanders flagged @skeptic into negative rep repeatedly, @dan stepped in and showed him it was not a profitable course of action. Both @skeptic and @berniesanders ignore each other now, rather than mutually inciting opposition.
It would be easy for @ned to do the same to @sneak. I was very surprised to find @haejin stepped in and countered the flags @sneak threw on me. Maybe he'll see what happened to you and step in also. You might have a look at the others that countered @sneak's flags on @clarityofsignal's post, and see if they might do that again to keep you from bearing the brunt of his bullying. I've also seen other whales step in from time to time to counter flags they considered unwarranted, like @johalfiles, @canadian-coconut, and @transisto. I can't speak for any of them, but reckon they're able to speak, and vote, for themselves.
@ned should, IMHO. I'm not his mom, and don't reckon he'll listen to me, which is as it should be. However, @sneak's actions reflect on Stinc, and @ned should not be unaware of it, particularly as Stinc contemplates onboarding hordes of new accounts, who will all be potential gold mines for the platform, Steem, and the community, as well as easy victims of bullies like @sneak.
Stinc's future may well hinge on this issue, as it's hard to see anything that will affect the opinions of new users, or folks contemplating becoming new users, more than being flagged by Stinc employees so that they lose their reputation and rewards.
Check with @r0nd0n and #freezepeach to see if they can't help. Regardless, your commitment to a given course of action will have to balance your desire for income with your desire to speak openly, as there are consequences to your actions which compromise your ability to achieve both.
As to my neighbors, while meth can addle folk irreparably, it's generally law enforcement that is more trouble. Meth is cheap as aspirin to make, and only prohibition makes it financially valuable, and thus able to corrupt law enforcement. This makes allies of cranksters and crooked cops, never a pretty picture.
I don't own anything worth stealing, other than my tools, which the neighbors I do work for guard more jealously than I do. My kids are grown, and only making a personal connection between my online personae and my physical person might jeapordize them.
I'll maintain that security protocol which has protected them so far, regardless of what others may think or do. I'm not accusing you of trying to do anything. I'm neither going to compromise the safety of my kids. I am glad you haven't the same issues to deal with, as your beautiful family clearly means everything to you.
It gets hard to speak freely when they're threatened. This is why I do things the way I do.
Thanks for the advice I am not much for begging. My wife and I will keep on trucking. Have you looked at what that clown is doing he mostly just is bulling one person or another. He is truly a Nazi!
I am good it looks like Nazis rule here in steemit.
Oh well I guess I better become a Nazi or keep my mouth shut here on this new version of facebook.
Well, I admire your spine. That's probably been obvious since we met =p
As to 'begging', I don't reckon the folks that setup the Discord, delegate their SP, and devote their time to combating Nazi flaggots would consider it other than an opportunity to fulfill their purpose.
When you need water, do you considering it begging to call a plumber? If you're financing a house, is it begging to go to a bank seeking a loan (ok, I'll grant that last one resembles begging =p)?
These folks are agin' censorship, which is what has happened to you. It happened because @sneak has more money than you, not because he was right, and they want to make sure you have the opportunity to speak, which was suppressed.
I reckon they'd be offended that you considered allowing them the opportunity to fulfill their purpose as begging for help. You'd really be helping them, my friend!
There are a lot of folks, and some organically forming communities, on Steemit, and some of them are less than admirable, IMHO. There's a heap of flaggots here.
But there's good folks too.
Have you found #MSP yet? PAL, the Peace, Abundance, and Liberty network seems like a place you'd be happy to have found. @aggroed started it some many months ago, and there's a discord for it too. Also, #steemgigs might be a place you'd find some useful work, too.
I just was alerted to a mention on a post by @surpassinggoogle, who runs #steemgigs, for a library I built on commission through #steemgigs a while back.
Good work is a good thing. I bet @lovenfreedom, and maybe even your kids, could have a look, and find something worthwhile there. I laughed out loud at some of the innovative offers of service on @surpassinggoogle's latest post.
I bet you would too.
