Hello Steemsilvergold, over the past few days i have made a couple of posts that i have offended some people and resulted in an OG member leaving the community. I forget sometimes that people are sensitive and care what others think. I made those posts to #ssglife which i thought was a free for all, that was the idea when i started the tag a few months back but i guess the rules changed and i never got the memo. It is a community tag at the end of the day and I feel bad that an OG member has left because of me. If it's to do with not thinking about other people's feelings will be when posting then go to facebook. Sometime's i want to provoke people into thinking about stuff, question it and come back at me intellectually with facts if you disagree and i am wrong. Im the first to hold my hands up if proven wrong,i cant disagree with facts. I have had strong worded DM's for other members as well and have decided that the proper thing to do would be to step down as community mod and leave. If i am not able to write what i want then there will be more problems down the road as i like posting about stupid retarded stuff, i dont plan my posts and i write about shit i see around me, sometimes they are short sometimes i go into more detail. For me it's either all ok are none of it is ok.

I recently wrote a post about "i dont give a fuck", some people could learn a lesson from that post and not get offended so easily. Im from Northern Ireland, best known for a building an unsinkable ship that sunk and killing each other because of religion but when im in an other country and someone assumes im in the IRA and shooting's are a daily part of life, i dont get offended by it. I think it's funny. I am aware some of my thoughts are way out there and that i am ignorant but who is not? Someone that does not say what they think? Everybody and i mean everybody has ignorant thoughts from time to time. They might not voice them and keep them thoughts to themselves, they might even feel bad about having those sorts of thoughts. I would rather be myself and wear my heart on my sleeve, i am what i am and i refuse you be fake to please others. I dont expect 20 comments with people agreeing with me, the interaction from debeating with people is half the fun and a really good way to learn something. Nevermind........... i never feel challenged by other's rebuttal's and they are always easy to dismantle. Some people just don't get it.
Someone's gonna need to step up. I carry a few duties for the community and there's a few things that will need doing.
My donation to MR4 stands and @welshstacker are
@raybrockman can let me know who won.
It's been a fun ride and i have made some good friends but i can see from summertooth's post, alot of other members agree with him on the subject. I have ethics as well and the proper thing to do is leave. I refuse to be censored and told what i can and cant write about.
I think @hgmsilvergold had the right idea and i am only seeing now what i assume he foresaw 18 months ago. I might be wrong about that, if you read his posts you will see his vision for #steemsilvergold.
