I just stumbled upon an extremely absurd yet amusing comment by the Agent Smith @themarkymark
quote
''I flag people for spam, plagiarism, fraud, not because I don't like them or their opinion. Bad flags are bad for steem.''
If that were true @themarkymark you should Stop abusing not just my account but many other accounts as well. I do none of the things you mention above and nobody believes you when you say that I do ! You can not even claim that you are flagging me in retaliation for flagging you.
What I do, have done and will continue to do is:
- Criticized his unjustifiable abuse of other accounts. (it is my opinion that he does not like and refuse to discuss and resolve)
- Criticized his support for the abuse of the platform by bernie, being: constructing fake flag wars, spam, self voting with multiple accounts and attacking multiple accounts for without justification. (Again, it is my opinion that he does not like and refuse to discuss and resolve)
- Criticized his dishonesty directly to me and about me in comments. (Again, it is my opinion that he does not like and refuse to discuss)
To give @themarkymark his due, I did actually find one account that he has been attacking that would fall under spam. It was really serious abuse, the crimes were as follows:
- Posting crap nearly every hour
- Self voting that crap
- Two or Three alt accounts voting that crap
- This guy would have been pulling out about $1.00 or maybe even $2.00 USD every month if he was left to carry on that way.
Good job @themarkymark you saved the platform from a dangerous abuser.
Is this really the type of individual we should have as a prominent Top 20 Witness?
What value can his Black list have when he is not at the very top of that Black List?
The full comment mentioned above by @themarkymark is in the link below.

It is my opinion that the many abuses suffered at the hands of @themarkymark is a serious violation of the terms of service agreement and all of his known accounts should be terminated immediately.
Please consider resteeming this poat
I have had limited discussions with @markymark, and I have to agree with your assessment of his flagging of you. I suspect - I do not actually know - that he may feel you have insulted him personally via ad hominems, rather than by simply your opinions. I tend to refrain from ad hominems, and despite the extremity of my criticism of his botting he has refrained from flagging me, at least from any account I am aware he runs.
He seems to be fully taking advantage of the free flags, and while it is of little value to flag the kind of user you mention specifically, it does have some value and does not harm the platform. Flagging you does harm the platform, and doesn't provide any benefits. It's an example of how the flag mechanism is broken.
Thanks!
