@valued-customer/open-letter-to-proxy-token

Here is an attempt I made to explain that proxy.token voting was perceived as extortion, and counseled against it.

One of the causes of the problem is that Steem, and Hive as well, is primarily written in English, and the Korean community that largely comprised the proxy.token voters mostly posted in Korean, and the circle jerks and botvoting there persisted long after it had been mostly eradicated on the rest of the platform.

When it was realized the language barrier was enabling such abuses, the flag-waving hordes descended on that community and ended such profiteering - and this is why they are against flags.

You can claim rights to other folks property, but when you do you're stealing. You can launder tokens however you want, but you're making excuses. Facts and sound ethics are contrary to your position, and I have made every effort to get you to acknowledge that I am able.

Folks that didn't get airdropped did that to themselves. I don't want to become offensive to you, because I have respect for you, so I don't think I can continue this discussion further because I don't know how to state these positions I know to be factual - and that I thought you agreed with previously - while maintaining decorum. I'm not really a very decorous guy, and it's unreasonable to expect me to maintain such for more than a sentence or two.

Be well, and stay safe.
