No, I don't, and this is why. Novacadian said he had had bad feelings about Hive for a long time, but being flagged by Hurt made him decide to leave. I didn't suck up to Hurt. I tipped Novacadian to show you that Hurt didn't take all his rewards. When Hurt upvoted that comment, that was about defying DV's, he demonstrated he sincerely states he wants to encourage certain narratives about Hive and discourage others - that his DV's aren't malicious, made out of anger or hatred of someone, but showing his disapproval. He doesn't think you or I shouldn't counter his opinion, and his upvote on my comment providing a tip to Novacadian he can't DV away shows he doesn't DV for any other reason that what he stated: he wanted to discourage Novacadian from saying no one should invest in Hive.

How does that look bad? I've only interacted with Hurt for about a week. We aren't some kind of secret team tricking people. He isn't malicious. He cares a lot about Hive, and that's why he downvotes people doing harm to Hive. He doesn't want me to suck up to him. He wants me to tell him my honest opinions - just not abusively - and not to badmouth Hive. He's been telling you that as long as I've known him, and demonstrating it's true by not DV'ing you even though you're harming the platform by spamming all the time. He's doing his best to sincerely engage with you so he can understand why you're doing that. That's what I did too. That's why we're even talking like real people right now, instead of me being spammed until I block you. I don't want to flag you, and I believe you when you say you're used to it.

I, like Hurt, just don't want you to disrespect people and spam the platform. It's a society of real people, even though you feel that some of them have treated you badly. The spam hurts each and every person associating on Hive, almost all of them innocent. From talking to you I have learned you aren't doing it because you hate people and want to destroy Hive. You feel you've been injured and you're fighting back with spam because you can't DV with the same weight they can. But you're so mad you don't see that you're hurting everyone, and Hive itself, by spamming, not just them you're fighting.

I won't flag you. It's not my way. I just try to reason with people and ask them to do the right thing, which I think you want to do. I don't think you want to hurt a bunch of innocent people when you fight back against DV's, but that's what happens when you spam the platform. Hurt doesn't want to flag you. He just wants to protect Hive from spam. I think he'd give you a fair shake if you didn't fling spam like a monkey flings turds. I observe that when you don't, when you speak to him like a person, that's what happens.

Try talking to people with respect, like you want your kids to do. You don't want your kids to disrespect and harm innocent people. You're a good father. You want your kids to respect themselves and that means when they interact with other people they show them respect and speak reasonably. That's what you should do too. Don't become the monster you're fighting against. Be better than that, and monsters that attack you even though you're doing good will look bad, and they will earn the disrespect of the people that see it. Spamming is becoming the monsters you're fighting. It's a mistake and you know it. Inside, you know it.

Do what's right instead. Talk to folks like real people. If they're monsters, that's on them. If they're not then maybe things will get better. Either way, don't become like them. Don't hurt innocent people. Let monsters do that and earn the disrespect monsters deserve. Hurt's not being a monster. He's reaching out to you. You can talk reasonably, respectfully, and find a way out of this mess. That's all Hurt wants. That's why upvoting me for tipping Novacadian looks good for him, because it shows he's sincere about why he flagged Novacadian. It wasn't to drive him off the platform, or he'd have flagged me for getting in his way. He doesn't want Novacadian to talk bad about Hive, and he doesn't want you to spam Hive bad, because he really cares about Hive, and he cares about Hive more than he cares about money, which is why he spends time trying to reason with you than rake in fat curation rewards he could be getting from the HBD-funder comment by max upvoting it, like all sorts of people are doing.

I don't think that looks bad, because I think integrity looks good.

You've been spamming for five years now.

It's time to try something different.
