I read and still don't understand the reasoning for the hit piece. He broke no laws, was offering a service for a price. You can disagree on the price but its no reason to form a posse and try to hang a man.
When you offer your opinion that is fair. When you actively set out to ruin a guy because you feel he charges to much, you have gone too far.
You only address the $50 overcharging, your blinded by $$$. And it doesn't matter what you think about it. It's not harmful.
Your actions are far more harmful.
Don't talk about judging seems you do alot for everyone else.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I didn't form a posse; people read, speak their mind, resteem, and react. That's how social media works. He didn't break any laws, because there aren't any on a decentralized platform. The only law is the law of the users. He got busted trying to sell an overcharged product, he lied about what he knew, and you expect people to kindly respond to that? My opinion is more than fair, if it wasn't fair, I would be the one having the backlash. Apparently, I'm not. I'm not harming him, he's harming himself.
You took it further than it needed to go. Ok to be against a service or product.
But then you campaigned against him personally. As a witness! Cops might arrest or stop a bad action but they don't serve as judge and jury.
From the ending of your post "As far as I'm concerned, I flagged his scammy post, and removed my witness vote for him. I encourage you to do the same, people with such behavior are a disgrace to the spirit of Steem."
Then you raw raw cheer everyone in the comments to smeer him and happily collect witness votes, just wow! IMO your dangerous, and shouldn't lead anyone but there are tons of sheep. If Jerry was wrong for what he did because he's a big shot witness, then so should you for your personal attack and enriching yourself from his mistake.
Might think again before interfering in commerce so recklessly.
"because there aren't any on a decentralized platform. The only law is the law of the users." lol
As I said in one of my comments, if he was a regular user, I wouldn't care that much, a simple downvote and comment would have sufficed. But him being a witness and doing these questionable moves is a different ballpark. Witnesses are "elected" to be witnesses based on trust, all eyes on them, and it's a very big deal what he's done. Personally I wouldn't trust a person doing irresponsible things to be a witness, hence I removed my vote. You do what you want, if you trust and support him, so be it, but there are others who don't.
