Reputations don't work like that, logic.
We decide what we think of you, it doesn't have to match your reality.

I stated that you were doing much better, and in fact vote the proposal after not voting it for years.
I think you perform valuable work for the hive, but my speaking truth to power doesn't allow me much hp to put behind my voice.

Maybe I should've brownnosed harder.
Maybe I should've done latte art, travel posts, and makeup tutorials, but that isn't really my function in life.
I'd certainly have more hp if I had played along with the curators' bs games rather than point out things that have led us to where we are at.

You, on the other hand, have a gulf to bridge with the restivus that apparently 2 years of doing better has failed to bridge.

You will not emotionally appeal your way out of this hole that your earlier behaviors have dug for you.
You would do better to cultivate those of us that still support what hw's has been doing despite your abrasive ways, not alienate us further.

Not that folks that abuse have any comfort coming, but because the crowd rejects your delivery of otherwise legitimate actions.
This book contains much helpful information on how to deal with crowds.
