RE: My node will run without blacklist, but not because censorship

in #witness4 years ago

@pharesim, I have downvoted your post to (maybe) get your attention. Which, to me, makes about as much sense as you choosing to downvote my Palm Sunday post ...

I will happily remove it, when you have responded to my request (on my post, which now shows "muted" in Curangel ...) for an explanation as to why. Note I did not say an explanation with which I agree. It is very simply the request for the "professional courtesy" of letting me know why ...

Sort:  

For posting something unrelated in the curangel community, as the mute message states.

Okay, thank you for providing a response @pharesim. As committed, I have removed my downvote.

"... as the mute message states."

I don't know where this is. Where would I find / see it?

As I state in my original comment, you were one of the first Witnesses I supported, after my first post in May 2018. Based on a recent azircon post encouraging it, I recently also delegated 1,000 HIVE to @curangel.

Before electing to publish for the first time to the Curangel Community, I checked the "About" screen, which shows this:

So ... Since you downvoted me for "posting something unrelated in the curangel community' would you care to enlighten me as to what is related to the Curangel Community? Or provide me a link to read up on it somewhere?

Thank you.

@roleerob. It is a common confusion. Curangel is not like other communities. Since one of the founding concept of Curangel is "far and wide" curation, it doesn't require posting in it's own hive. As per Pharesim, curangel hive is dedicated for project related posting only. In other words, almost nothing will be posted in Curangel hive, except project related news. Hope this is helpful to you.

Okay, understood @azircon. Now ...

You or someone may wish to make that more clear on the Community's About page.

Why? Do you go to Reddit and post something about sailing in the gardening community? Use your brains people.

Also, there's only 1 post by curangel in there, you didn't even bother to check that. I'd downvote again if I could.

Why indeed. While certainly possible @pharesim, you be would hard-pressed to have provided a more graceless response than this one. One of your key supporters, @azircon, is willing to acknowledge ”a common confusion,” into which I have also managed to stumble. An acknowledgement to which I provided a typical response, from my long professional career …

If this challenges you, then to your condescending and arrogant doubled-down response, you could always add some profanity. Throw in some exclamation points, some emoticons, some CAPITAL LETTERS, perhaps? Whatever … Knock yourself out …

”I'd downvote again …” Oh well rally “the troops” then! Surely you have considerably more resources to throw “into the battle” against the likes of an account like mine. At a glance, through my posts and comments, it should be obvious to one and all that it should be driven “down and out” …

My primary interest in participating on this blockchain is as an investor. To the extent the likes of you and responses like yours represent far too common an example of what the average person will encounter “in here,” it is hard to imagine the price of its tokens ever “breaking out” much to the upside. Over my almost 2 years, I have “watched” as at least as many appear to leave “out the back door” as enter “through the front door.” As the price has slowly, but relentlessly, declined …

Fancy yourself a “doorman” @pharesim? Your “value proposition” to newcomers then? Graceless, condescending, and arrogant … Keep up the great work …


While never challenging one’s intelligence, from time to time, I do state that intelligence should never be confused with wisdom. They are certainly not the same thing. I could “spell out” for you the reason I bring this up, but being the clever fellow you are, I am sure you are “way ahead of me,” so I won’t waste any more of your precious time.

Instead, I will invest my last bit of time “engaging” with you in actions, rather than words:

So, you can now rest in peace and be assured your efforts were not in vain. My annoying + 31 MVests in support of your Witness are now removed. My irksome delegation and subscription to your community is now gone. It is very unlikely I will ever be “troubling” you again.

It is very unlikely I will ever be “troubling” you again.

Thank you.
