I like that you have made the decision to retire your bid bot account and said as much on the relevant post. That is worthy of respect.
However not everything we do is worthy of respect.
Here is the link to your comment.

Your opening gambit is to claim that I am ''full of shit''
Given the context, I take that to me mean that you disbelieve that I sent you two polite inquiries. Below are the links. The first was to @steemcleaner which I believe is one of your accounts? (I mistakenly believed that both comments were directly to your @themarkymark account, I apologize for the error) :

The second polite comment was directly to you and includes an apology for being off topic:

You also provide screenshots and allegations.
Here is a link to the last full conversation for context. Conversation between myself and @enforcer48 resulting from a comment I made to @preparedwombat . You will find my initial response to @enforcer48 at the bottom of the page. Not very Troll like is it especially for an asshole troll like me!

The conversation with @savetheturtles is a real challenge for me. His comments have become inaccessible to me. So I can only provide the links to my part of the conversation.

Your claim is that, it was those two comments/conversations were what initiated your attack against me. However if we look at when those conversations occurred and when you started your campaign, your story just falls apart. You did take a short break, I will grant you that.
This is when you re-started your campaign with 3 accounts @aicurator @roomservice and @themarkymark 19 days ago at the writing of this post. Way before the two conversations you claim were the problem.
If you claim that the other two accounts are not yours, I don't have a problem with that. But what you find offensive about this comment is beyond my comprehension.

@savetheturtles made that claim about you having 1500 + sock puppet accounts not me. And bernie openly told us, he has thousands of accounts. That is a problem for the platform.
Have I been over the top ? YES
Would I do it differently ? Yes
Do I have regrets ? Most certainly.
Will I conduct myself differently from now on ? Most certainly.
On a practical level what does that mean? It means that I will be more respectful while reserving the right to speak up about things that I believe are detrimental to the success of Steem.
If New Steem is going to work, things need to change. So lets get on with it.
I talk about this and others make me a fool. Lobby groups that tell others what to do and vote for themselves and their circle of people.
They hit the minuses who they want. And truth always wins, Steemit has people who want truth and justice.
Hi @joe.public
I see that you are objectionable in your questions and I mean now that it is time for others to put the war ax against you
It's time they smoke a pipe of peace with you
Hi @joe.public
Hope this helps everyone see this positive and that you can now look a little brighter in the time ahead for this war must cease
I think you have to ask a direct question to @themarkymark
so you can start over again with blank sheets and forgive each other so that this knot on the thread can be resolved
Assuming that @themarkymark reads this comment and that we can help you with some peace plans and that he can make a comment to you here and talk about it properly
None of you are served with this war
Here, this might help.

Oh no! I edit my posts and comments alla time. Now I see that all my typos I try to fix that I didn't notice before I clicked the Post or Reply button have been obvious to all and sundry. SMDH.
Thanks!
but, really, delete this. Get @drakos to delete it too. Never use it to see what stupid mistakes I make writing from the hip. Or, go ahead and shame me. I clearly deserve it.
ikr,...the shame of not speeling werds poperly!
Welcome to the blockchain!
Where nothing you do ever gets deleted,...
We gonna out some hypocrites, at some point.
Is the main problem with multi-accounting the ability to vote for yourself as witness?
Account 1a w/ 10K SP
Account 1b w/ 20K SP
or
Account A w/ 30K SP
Same exact thing, except Account A has an advantage when it comes to curation rewards.
I reckon it takes self respect to show respect to anyone else. Regardless of what others do, this undertaking will be the right thing for you to do, because it will respect you. For anyone, such as myself, who has noticed how things are going between you guys, it shows who the bigger man is, who has self respect.
I admire your forthrightness, while I have sometimes been unable to fully support your more insulting statements. When you make posts like this that respect yourself as an advocate for respectful disagreement, I have no reservations whatsoever about supporting you.
Marky will do what Marky will do, based on how much he values himself. That don't confront you. You only do you.
Thanks!
When Stinc came out with the TOS, I had some concerns and sent them an email. Since I couldn't use Steemit without agreeing to the TOS, I used Steempeak while awaiting their reply. Steempeak is pretty feature rich, and I liked it. After a month or so, and repeated emails to Stinc, I never got a reply (although they did actually fix some of the issues with the TOS), so I never changed back.
Like all curmudgeons, I get set in my ways. There's a learning curve to every change, and I spend a lot of time learning, so try to avoid unnecessary learning curves, and every browser or platform change comes with a learning curve. I stick with what works as long as I am not compelled to switch.
Thanks for your kind words in turn =)
I agree with you.
Even this external point of view article shows view of public on steemit flagging and negative diwnvotes,how some wealthy members are abusing steem power in negative way.

We need to find better way to support steemit decentralized nature. Otherwise it will become more centralized coin and lose its intended nature.
Steemit community will recognize quickly this negative influencers and will respond adequately.
Balance is necessary to maintain steem on a steady path.
I wish they charge people to use downvote , that may self regulate intentions to use option to flagg someone.
My support to you @joe.public
