It's simple, you say something a whale doesn't want to hear, goes against their principals or the principals of growing Steemit. As i've said before, i think the whales that are actively engaging with Steemit & Steemers are doing as good a job as they can, the best way they can in the present. However, in the future, when the Steemit community has more depth and there are multiple platforms for engagement with the Steemchain, the whole ecosystem will become more balanced. For now, just say what you think needs saying.
I think that rather depends on how you say it. I think we are all open to the idea that a new, well articulated argument has the capability of changing our minds. It you challenge someone in a courteous manner, there needn't be any unpleasant consequences to disagreement. It is possible to respect a person who's opinion are different from your own after all.
It certainly is possible... But there's an abundance of people who are incapable of accepting a view that contradicts their own. Look up cognitive dissonance. Very interesting psychological phenomenon.
You may well be right, but starting from a position where you have the highest chance of a positive outcome (and that does not include choosing not to challenge;)) is surely the most rational approach. Some pragmatism may be helpful when encountering a wall. Can't win them all and nor should you be able to.....that would mean you were always right! ;)
its my bait lol

Won't saying something that goes against a whale's principles deterr them from voting for you?
