It's funny that the only metric you use for giving value to the platform is purely based on how much I've powered down.

This is not true - I have been around long enough, I also met you (kind of) in Poland.

All that I just did for zero reward or in fact any hope of any reward, I did it because I wanted this place to grow.

Was this the curation that Ned was bankrolling and what saw a small amount of people get a lot of votes before HF19?

So when you turn round to me and talk about how much I've powered down, without even being aware of my financial situation it makes me pretty mad actually.

I nor you know anyone's financial situation. This has nothing to do with it. However, as this is a community on a transparent blockchain, these things get noticed and affect behaviors of the community. You have your reasons for things, other people likely have their reasons for not supporting you too - which you have no visibility on either. Yet, you make assumptions as to why also.

I've done a fuck of a lot for this community with a lot less resources than people like yourself,

What do you know of my resources? See above ^
