I'm not defending anyone else but me and Hurt, and only as I have above.

"All I've asked all along is that they stop downvoting me and leave me alone..."

You do ask that, but demonstrably append those demands to spam. I risk disappointment every time I take a chance and open your replies to me of being spammed. You also make demands of people that do not flag you, like me and crimmy. When Hurt reached out to you, you dehumanized him and refused to accept his treating you like a human being, upvoting you and beginning to reverse your loss of reputation. He literally did everything you asked of him, and you spat in his face (figuratively).

I have discussed DVs with Steev several times. Our positions are known to each other.

Rep does mean nothing on Hive. It's just a reflection of upvotes. The votebots passed it out like candy.

Every spam comment you post lies about Hurt. I think you have missed an opportunity to resolve the problem you have, and forced the problem to continue. If you don't make the effort to fix that I will see that as proof you cause this situation deliberately to enable you to play the victim, which is exemplary of incapacity to reasonably interact with society and a result of lack of self esteem you try to cope with by playing the victim. It's disrespectful of yourself, and I won't help you do that by playing along.

You don't have to make long replies to me. You just can't spam me anymore, and must address me as a fellow human being, as you do here. Whether or not I continue interacting with you depends on that and the value to me of our interactions. I won't put up with spam, and I won't promise to interact with you if it's noxious or unproductive of my time. I only have so much time, so I'm going to spend it as I see fit. I can commit to not abusing you. Please do me the courtesy of returning that respectful treatment.
