Are you a reasonable person?
It's a simple question.
(IFF) you don't have a reason (THEN) you are by definition an un-reasonable person (a person who acts without reasons).
(IFF) you claim to have a reason but refuse to reveal it, claiming it is secret, or unimportant, or "just too complicated to explain" (THEN) your unrevealed reason is functionally-indistinguishable from NO reason (AND) you are therefore functionally-indistinguishable from an un-reasonable person (a person who acts without reasons).

Your scathing critique is requested.
I would like to think I am a reasonable person. If I, for instance, downvote a post on SteemIt I would have a reason, same as If I downvote or follow. If I get up and go to work I have a reason, my reason I don't want to be homeless! Does this count as being reasonable?
I love your blog! I like this post, in fact, in recent days most of my posts have been downvoted by people when I go to look the person up to see who they are and why they downvoted my post they have no profile pic, 25 reputation, no steem power, no blog posts, and they don't leave a reason for doing so.
As I was just here investigating the latest downvote from another faceless, blogless character I came across this post and it just seemed completely fitting that I read and, follow, and comment!
Looking forward to more of your posts!
Thanks for your thoughtful comment.
Hopefully we can both find a few more reasonable people around here!
Thanks @logiczombie! Couldn't agree more 💯😀
You have this reasonable person following you now!!
No. I am not a reasonable person. I am crazy. But I do try to be as reasonable as possible which means I might be a little reasonable. But let's just say that I am not reasonable for argument's sake.
I always appreciate your candor.
ohhhh boy
I like to think that I'm not. A reasonable person. I like to think that I just act, do thinks or don't, without a reason. Totally random. That's what I want to be anyway.
But I know that I am. A reasonable person. A boring reasonable person. If I eat, I eat because I'm hungry. Boring. If I sleep, I sleep because I'm tired or I know I have to. Boring. If I go to work, I go because I have to. Boring.
Everything I do is because I have a reason to do so.
Reasonable.
Or have you ever tried to go to sleep, even though you are not tired at all and you actually would have to go to the toilet. For number two.
Yes. That would be unreasonable.
A bit random.

I wish you the best of luck (it sounds like you might need it).
Sure I need. Does't everyone? :)
Protesting without dialogue (with the sole intent to silence opposition) is harassment, not free speech.

I can see times I have been both. I can also say that I often do have reasons for things/actions/positions that I often have little drive to explain to most people. There needs be a compulsion for me to share with another, a sign/feeling to make that effort. I'm a firm believer in the saying
Matthew 7:6
It works well with the saying no good deed goes unpunished.
Sometimes despite feeling compelled to speak, there is also a breakdown in my communication ability to match up with the others to translate into something they can bind. That last one can often help me grow however as usually if I'm compelled to explain/act with another, there is a growth lesson for me in the experience.
I see you mentioned freezepeach. While I appreciate your kindness of delegation, I wonder if it would better serve your needs if you were to reclaim it to delegate to them. I have been following your discussions on downvotes with interest.
I can re-delegate if you wish, but I'd like to try and get as many people as possible to delegate at least 1 steem to freezepeach to at least show token support. Steemcleaners has a rep of 80 and zillions of steem and is consistently in the top 5 most profitable accounts on the running 30 day charts. It seems that protecting free-speech is not quite as profitable as downvoting newbz.
I don't do delegations, as I only use my keys here on Steemit. However, when (if) my post pays out in two days, I will send them 1 Steem from the payout to honor your idea.
I understand the feeling, it's an aspect of the "free-rider" problem, or perhaps the "prisoner's dilemma".
If one person is reasonable and the other person isn't reasonable, then the reasonable person loses.
I'm just trying to give you some ammo to help point out (in those situations) that the unreasonable person is (EITHER) unreasonable (acting without any reason), (OR) functionally-indistinguishable from an unreasonable person (refusing to reveal their reasons, de facto unreasonable).
This is usually true, yes. If one is not dependent on the unreasonable person for the outcome, or it is worth the conflict as the desired goal is necessary, it often nullifies the unreasonable persons insertion. Often, one can use the others lack of control to nullify them to others who matter, or better, educate those on the fence when they see for themselves an unreasonable opposition. Bypassing such people is the best option if possible.
Actually, this topic of yours perfectly fits the text I just finished. As it is about reasoning, too.
I would like to invite you this time to visit my blog. I don't know, when I will write again. It happened that I stopped posting regularly and maybe I will swing into a rhythm where I leave greater gaps.
I very much like your format and am happy that we all differ in our variety of expression.
Am I reasonable?
I think you probably could answer this question better. As well as all others who get in touch with me. What would you say?
You certainly seem to be reasonable in our shared interactions up to this point.
Thanks for the notification. I'll be sure to take a look.
... If I think about it. ... Very much so. LOL. Gave probably many many many reasoning.
Thanks for the visit at my casa.
My first thought was yes I am reasonable. Then you turned it into a trick bloody question and I am now without reason. !tip 1
Why would you say that?
It is complicated :)
This word, complicated, is the word people use the define their relationships.
