I made a post the other day that semi-jokingly points out what is wrong with GC (probably in real life to some degree as well no doubt).
I've come to the conclusion that the Grumpy-compliance nonsense is a classic bullying tactic that is being played, where they set up some crazy rule of their own making that obviously won't be followed because the rule is asinine and short-sighted, and then when said rule is broken the bully starts randomly going after innocent bystanders as some kind of justice. Even more bizarre, they believe collateral damage is justified because their ends justify any means of getting there.
The behavior of @grumpycat is a classic blend of personality disorders, and I'm kind of amazed it's been allowed to go on for so long by the whales on Steem... but on the other hand I'm not surprised really, it would be like watching a rabid cat attacking an anthill in real life; as long as the rabid cat is not bothering the whales, they could care less. @grumpycat is probably the worst offender of self upvoting their garbage posts and spam comments I've seen, which makes the whole grumpy-compliance nonsense even more hilarious and sad. The inability to see oneself from the perspective of other people is a trait shared by people with extreme personality disorders.
Just imagine someone behaving like GC in real life. I've witnessed it first hand and I will tell you it's a pathetic display of self-preservation when they get exposed and taken out (If you've even watched the original "The Dead Zone" movie where christopher walken goes to shoot Martin Sheen's Machiavellian character, and Martin Sheen grabs someones baby and holds it out in front of themselves as a shield; this is how people like @grumpycat behave in real life when they are exposed and attacked - they drag in the innocent bystanders and hold them hostage).
