No.
Balanced scrutiny. Not this.
This is 3-5 people who decided to take issue to FIND and MANUFACTURE a problem, where none existed with rhetoric and half truths.
3-5 people who have downvoted this and taken money from Dian, where no post existed prior, when I decided to use my stake (so to speak, none that I have bought, all that I have earned) to step out and help --- when they did not. You included.
As I type this there is 1028 votes, a handful of those are DV's by whales like you taking money from her. That is a fact. Not opinion.
And the same handful of people are now trying to FORCE their opinion on me, on what to do, with my post to help someone out and made this about me, when it is not.
The same people who have done nothing to help her the last 12 days, but now jump in..... when my time and effort and heart --- have gotten this on the community radar.
So go ahead, make it about me, manufacture problems where none exist because God knows we don't have enough issues here or other parts of our life.
There is not a lot of balanced debate here on this.... like a lot of things it seems.
TLDR Good:
--
The good: I have raised SO MUCH awareness of her and can see the donations, comments, votes on her comments and posts thru the roof, she is at least getting set up nicely that way. I could have sat like I said and done NOTHING.
Nite man.
What's not balanced? People are scrutinizing your pledge to give specifically the liquid rewards on this post. Meaning the SP you gain from it, 50% of the post's payout value, will go to you.
You've notably avoided responding directly to that one issue, which I think every person questioning this post has mentioned is their primary concern.
You also haven't addressed the fact that the person you are seeking to benefit told you that their father was already laid to rest and you made this post anyway.
I have addressed it in my numerous and lengthy replies, to some extent --- maybe not the way YOU like it.
But I have also decided this post has once again unearthed the clear centralization of power on this platform in numerous ways.
I will not be bullied by 3-4 people who violently try to force their solution on me, sully my reputation and lie about me, as well as wilfully misdirect the Steemit community.
That was something I was thinking about today struggling thru physio where my mind needs to go somewhere else during the painful stuff I deal with. It became clear to me, my blog post, on my page, was taken over by nasty comments and some hooligans, with their boorish behaviour -- who forced their opinions on me, like I say and wilfully lied and or misdirected people -- harming the post and my reputation which is hard to build.
I have been one of the most active people on here --- and you pick this post to actually interact with me.
Funny that.
Yes I have. Check the comments. I am about done babysitting this post, I have invested A LOT of time here responding to people who clearly don't want to hear what I have to say.
The witch hunt and wordsmithing is just about done.
Great post
