RE: HF21: What Makes Steem Valuable?
You clearly indicate you are the type to judge and come to conclusions about someone based upon two words. I also don't give a fuck what you think.
but you clearly indicate that you are the type of person that tries to silence others.
And you say that right after telling me to leave. If you want to bitch at me, get your act together. Stop being a hypocrite.
This, unfortunately, is why you and I have had such negative interactions on this thread. IMO, there are better approaches.
No. It's because you keep taking cheap shots at me like this here. Do you not see the part where this guy tells me to leave? I asked YOU to be quiet because I didn't want to argue. That's a positive. So just because I said the f word and don't really care if someone wants me to leave, I'm a bad guy? Instead of allowing them to make me feel crap I decided not to give a crap because feeling like crap would have been a "negative".
What's negative is you looking DOWN on me. Look at your wording. "Better." You have serious attitude problems and it seems like you want to be a bully. Are you going to discriminate because of the language I speak? It's 2019. Probably shouldn't do that.
I don't share the same mindset as you. Not everything is black or white. My experience here wasn't "negative". This isn't coke or pepsi. It's not up or down. It's not left or right. It's not team red vs team blue.
You got your negative in one hand and your positive in the other. Stretch your arms out. So now they're nice and far apart. Look at them. That's how you like to see them. As you make your choice, having two options, choosing from what you can see, taking the superficial approach(which is why you can't decipher my writings)... I'll use the thing in the middle. Do you know what that is?
It's your head.
Here's a pamphlet for you.

I do make conclusions about people based on what they say, but it wasn't just two words. It was the repeating of those two words, but also that I took the time to read your comments and found them wildly out of line.
Maybe the word "serious" next to the words content producers offends you, but come on, we all know what he was trying to say. I'm not saying you are not a hard-working content producer, but until this little chat, I don't think I've read or saw a single thing from you. He meant "well known" content producers, like Tim Pool or Joe Rogan. No reason to silence the guy over such a small difference in wording.
I urged you to leave, that doesn't mean I want to silence you. I just find someone with your mindset (my assumption of your mindset) to likely be happier in a place like Twitter where people think the way I believe you to think.
My response has everything to do with why I think anyone would care to put a social media platform on a blockchain: censorship-resistance/free speech. Thus, I assert that telling someone to "be quiet" is quite the faux pas among a community of crypto nerds.
At the same time, I am a staunch devotee to free speech, so, yeah, I might take extra offense to people trying to quiet other people's viewpoints. He has a view that is not yours, get over it.
You know, if you really don't like listening to the ideas of some people, there is a nifty little thing called a mute button. I respect your right to mute me or anyone else. What I don't respect is people trying to get someone to stop saying what they have to say to other people.
Peace & love
Mute me.
I was not saying I would mute you. I almost never mute anyone, I did one guy, but that's because it was getting to a real harassment level.
My point was that not hearing someone you dislike hearing is easily within your power without trying to influence their free expression for everyone else.
On the contrary, I have showed you the respect of reading your comments and even the post that you linked in a comment to Stokes. Muting people doesn't jive with my style, I'm a free speech absolutist. I respect your right to disagree with me on stuff, I'll even give you the time of day and listen to your disagreement.
I didn't want to argue with the guy. I came back later and gave him a second opportunity.
I don't want to argue. I didn't want to argue. I don't want to argue. Get it?
Listen. I started out by saying "You guys don't realize the potential." I finished by pointing out the potential, that he was clearly missing. I wasn't offended by those words. I was simply trying to show him something he couldn't see.
According to your logic, you should be muting me.
