Ok, well here's a more accurate summary, I'll try to keep it as short as possible:

I explained to her that one of the basic tenets of the chain was anti-censorshipment, so individual Hive users don't censor what other people can see.

I also explained, however, that she could mute posts from individuals such as bernie that she didn't want to see (and she could even encourage others to mute such individuals from their feeds, if she felt so inclined).

She clearly understood the above, as she's not an idiot, but I noticed that she would then misconstrue and re-interpret the things I actually said for the purposes of drama (not only on Hive, but on her other channels as well), so I started to wonder if her stated motivations were disingenuous.

After a few more interactions with her, I realized her real complaint wasn't so much about what bernie was saying to her, as about what he was doing: downvoting her posts, because he thought they were overpaid. At this point, I mostly lost interest in the topic.

If you want to waste a lot of your time, try re-reading the entire drama, and see if you still disagree with my conclusions above.
