No acidyo@acidyo I didn't feel intimidated because I've always considered you to be a rational person (and also a friend) who takes a deep look at all aspects of a situation, and never assumed you would start flagging me unless maybe I was disrespectful towards you. I also have the experience working with you to know you very much do care about the community and empowering content creators who give their best efforts to produce quality content.

I knew you were going to see this post and I didn't wish to be elusive with my proxy decision, even if it was a hasty not properly researched incorrect decision on my part. (that I've corrected by removal of the proxy)

It was (and continues to be) my hopes that my transparency with this decision would further add to the large stake holders perceptive willingness to take a deeper look at some of the political blockchain issues that have been a problem here for a while.

I'm sure there are plenty of content creators who would be rather terrified to stick their necks out there, and go on pretending like everything is perfect around here.

I'm not going to fight battles that I know I can't win. I will simply remove myself entirely from the situation. If my account gets wrecked, I will no longer be a content creator here, and the community will lose what I have to contribute. I'm grateful that this hasn't become the case, and am hopeful that it won't become the case.

The switch from Steem to Hive was very difficult for me, because I do not deal with change well sometimes, and to top it all off, there was an active music community that I was a part of, and I don't think the community was doing the same thing here. I could be wrong about that, I don't remember if the community was on both platforms, but it wasn't long before I quit Steem anyway.

People started calling a communist and I had a severe relapse with alcohol, and then just decided I was done with blogging forever, but my friends assured me that I probably wouldn't be harassed for my decisions because everyone knew my decision was not politically driven with blockchain politics.


Now to address some of my confusion(s).

I have no preconceived notions, just some questions that are not clear to me. (because not all information can be exacted from mere transaction data)

(first a precursor to the question(s))

Seems I remember a general consensus about use of Hive + Steem = Bad
And content creators here being considered disloyal if they posted on Steem and Hive, after the fork. (correct me if I am incorrect please.)

(Questions)

Why do you maintain a large account on Steem still, with active transactions/earnings/transfers?

Is there a Hive related reason for this? Or maybe locked delegated resources or something that you are making use of and transferring gains over to Hive?
(There could be so many perceptions related to the use of Steem, even like .. let's milk Steem to make gains and hard dump on it because of what happened.. not my style but I could see that being a thing.)

How come you are downvoting logiczombie@logiczombie when other accused high level stake holders/witnesses have expressed they will not?
Is it on the basis of disagreement of the collusion he is accusing you and others of?


It is very upsetting if someone accuses me of something, so I can relate to feelings of immediate anger, but maybe downvoting in this case on the basis of an accusation(s), will serve to make others think he is correct in his accusations.

Maybe the best way to handle this is by proving these claims to be false, instead of causation of harm to his account. I understand your reasoning with the quality of his content, but this is more of a deeply intricate political issue, over a quality content issue.

Because of all of the variables involved, it seems like proving your innocence in relation to the accusations might be rather difficult.

It seems that way to me, because of inactive accounts, unreachable accounts, with delegated resources/proxies, etc.

From what I can see, I have only skimmed the surface of all of this, and find it to be a never ending rabbit hole with a lot of associated accounts, some of which I am not even all that familiar with.

My stance on all of this is neutral at the moment and consider both yourself and logiczombie to be friends of mine.

I want to see what is best for the community, and I really believe you do as well.

I'm hopeful these issues on the blockchain can be resolved in a peaceful manner, or at the very least reduced to a level that is less damaging for everyone. I think in some ways these issues might never be resolved, because we live in a pyramidal structure of power, and no matter how many hard forks are implemented to fix some of these problems, the blockchain will likely always resemble this pyramidal power structure that we are all operating inside of.

I'll continue researching and trying to gain a better insight into all of this.

Thank you kindly for saying I add value to the Hive community, I try my best.
