I hate to say it, but I think I agree with the majority of Steemit on this one.

The reason it it hard for me to say this is that it definitely contradicts the fact that freedom of speech is a thing.

We on Steemit are full supporters of freedom of speech. I am sure that all Steemians can agree with me on this one. The difference of opinion comes in when you represent the site itself. I have seen @berniesanders and others talk about it... but regardless I must put my opinion.....Lets talk about Jerry Banfield and his position as witness.

A witness on Steemit represents the site. They are the supposed leaders of this site

, they make sure that there are no errors on the blockchain, and they help promote and grow the site. They are the "government" of the site Steemit.com. I dont mean to call it governing, because thats not exactly what they do..... but when your in a high position as witness, you actually make more money.

Jerry Banfield was one of those witnesses. When I first joined Steemit I watched a few of Jerrys videos. He was cheesy but I didnt see anything wrong with what he was doing. In fact I voted for him strictly on the terms that he was so popular and bringing so many new people to Steemit from videos he made. Cheesy as he was I never saw him doing something like what he did. To clarify, he made a very suggestive video about him sucking his own dick.....When I say this I mean it LITERALLY. He has severe stretching on his back from sucking his own dick. Dont believe me still? check out this 50 minute video of him talking about his addiction to sucking his own dick:

I was up alone at 4am watching this bullshit and I felt creeped the fuck out.

Usually I would let it be, simply because I am an advocate of freedom of speech, and sucking your own dick isnt illegal....so fuck it.... When it comes to public opinion though, theres nothing I can do to help. Same goes for business. If you are going to represent a website that is catered toward the general public, I believe you hold a responsibility to that public. A racist business owner is allowed to be racist...but if the public disagrees they are also allowed to stop supporting that business owner. Same goes for public representation of a product. To make it simple. if you are a representative of a blog site..... dont go online talking about sucking your own dick. Even if you choose to do so, whatever.....not my business....Its fucking weird.... still none of my business..., but you represent a business. You represent a site of free thinkers. You represent the people as a whole when you are witness of Steemit. You cant do shit like this. I am sorry Jerry, but I am going to have to disagree with you on this one. You should not be witness of Steemit and I am glad you are being removed from you position of power on this site. Nonetheless you are still rich... I am sure you made the decision to post that video after accepting this fact..If you werent already wealthy you would still be hiding..Still.. You are nasty man... get some help if you suck your own dick. You seem like a nice dude but damn. That's problems. Get some help. Ps. You cheesy AF.

You do not stand in a position to represent Steemit as a whole.
