Regarding The Non-Non-Travel Post

12:44 AM - Hive | Regarding This Post

This post was not flagged, it was not downvoted, it has $0.51, and yet it says low ratings.

How is $0.51 low?
This post was not flagged, it was not downvoted, it has $0.51, and yet it says low ratings.
But it was muted.
It should say images were hidden because it was muted.
Not because of low ratings.

Etymology has no value to you or is this just Former Vietnamese English Teacher talking from within my own soul, do I hear an echo, is it just because I'm so white and nerdy like Weird Al?

And I don't care about the muted post, that is not the issue, the issue is it says it got low rating and yet it did NOT get low ratings and I consider that to be a lie because it really is deception, it is not honest, it is not right to say something is what it is not.

@pharesim#1708, the post is a travel post. Why would you say it is not a travel post? My brother went to Honduras. He posted photos of the people and the places in the post. How is that not travel? Why would people not want to see photos of Honduras in a travel group? Why would people not want to read about how my brother went to Honduras? How is going to another country not travel?

Except that a travel post of my brother was muted and yet it was a travel post. And it appears as if it was downvoted even as it made $0.51. But the post says it got low ratings. But it didn't get flagged. It simply got muted. There's a difference and yet it doesn't say that.

@pharesim downvoted a travel post of my brother Rick Arnold @rsarnold316.

It is according to what he said to me in Discord. He was complaining how the travel post was too focused on missionary work. My rebuttal is that missionaries can travel too. The counter argument is that the post was not travel-relevant enough meaning that a travel post can only be a travel post if it meets very specific genre-limited specifics. Now, I was an English Teacher in Vietnam for five years and I know a lot about travel. And I know that travel is different depending on who you ask. Therefore, people should not put the definition of a travel-post inside a limited box. I'm saying this based off all of the many expats I talked to over the years both online and offline, people from around the world. I would stay in hotels and hostels at times. I met with so many people. I have been reading travel blogs since at least 2012 and I can tell you there is a wide variety of opinions relating to what is and is not a travel blog and a travel post. Therefore, which of those opinions is the correct opinion would be my counter argument or rebuttal to people who think that travel post of @rsarnold316 was not travel-specific enough. I would also argue that the post was more like an introduction post. In other words, there is more where that comes from. But my brother Rick Arnold @rsarnold316 is brand new to Hive Blog and it takes time to bust these travel articles out. That reminds me, I used to live in Hawaii. Well, you could say I could start a travel blog about Hawaii. But then some people would say that doesn't count because I was working with The Salvation Army while in Hawaii.

Regarding The Non Non Travel Post

Thank you for these words. Well, I have mix feelings about the situation. I believe the post was a travel post. But at the same time, they can say it is not a travel post even if it is. However, if I was them, I would simply put a warning on the post and say next time posts like that will be muted. Problem solved.

My point is not about the downvote itself but that he said the post was too religious which is an attack on a person's belief. I believe people have the right to be as religious as people want to or as non-religious as people wish to, it is basic freedom, a basic right, my point is to simply let people know how people who are brand new to Hive Blog are being treated, and that is it, I am simply trying to let people see what is happening and people can do whatever they want with this information or do nothing at all if they wish to do so.

No. This is a different conversation. I am NOT talking about a muted post. I now brought up a different topic. A different subject. Please read what I write. I did NOT bring up the same thing again. This is NOT double jeopardy in a legal court of law, a public trial. I am talking about a different thing.

About Mortal Kombat

03:36 AM - Hive

Yes. Anakin had a virgin birth like Jesus. True. Well, if they cut off people's heads, I hope they had a good reason for it. I like electronic and techno music. Yeah, not too many video game related movies have done really well. I agree that the Mortal Kombat movies had some of the greatest fighting scenes ever, possibly better than The Matrix and Kill Bill. I love the one guy who does the bicycle kick.

Private Property Rights:

11:22 AM - Hive

It comes down to how one manages one's own private property rights. So, if you were in a hypothetical public town square somewhere either online or offline, the theory would be that you therefore give up some of your rights when entering such a square but to what extent is the active debate. I say it really depends on the rules of whatever square you are in at any given moment.

Public Squares

Square meaning not just a physical location but a contract between parties. So, it really depends on the terms of the covenant between parties. We would have to break that down piece by piece to figure it out. That could take a while. But if you were on your own land and I say something you don't like, then in some ways I have no free speech in your house in the sense that you can ask me to leave for anything I say or do.

Having Exclusive Rights

Not saying you should but my argument is that you should have the right to kick me out of your house at any time for any reason or for no reasons at all. But then again, it depends on the contract between 2 people. So, it is a 2-way street. But that is only if there is a contract between 2 parties.

Outside of Contracts

But apart from a contract or union, you could say I have no freedom of speech at your house at all and that you can do what you want and can have me removed off your property. Not that you necessarily should but that you have the freedom and right to do so depending on the details.

Rights vs Contracts

But at the same time, when you exercise your private property rights to remove me off your property for anything I say or don't say, you might then be breaching, violating, and forfeiting contracts or agreements between me and you for example. So, most often, a person has to juggle and decide whether to honor contracts or rights. So, in other words, you may have the right to do something but doing so could violate covenants between other humans. If you have power to exercise your ownership rights, you may have the right to do so at the cost of destroying social contracts between men and you have to decide constantly which to prioritize at any given moment in life, contracts or rights.

Big Public Issues

07:41 PM - Hive Blog

And I have been doing that for many years now. You need to know that I deal with things on a personal level all the time. However, some things are too big for that. In life, you have to pick your battles. I choose to do things in the public for a series of reasons and I have been blogging about these types of issues for over ten years now. It is a long story and it is not accidental on my part. I've talked to many people about these things. I've been writing about these things for a long time. It is all a long story and I believe strongly in what I've been doing for over twenty years now. This is who I am and I will never ever stop doing what I do until I am dead. The globalists will have to kill me to stop me. I might be crazy. I believe in what I do regardless of what people think about me. Also, if something is done in public, then it should be dealt with in the public as well. Hive Blog is public and anything done on here is public. So, you can't say it was private. Anybody can see it. Therefore, it is crucial to get on top of what is already public. Plus, it is not a personal issue. It is an example of root issues. And there is always more to it than what meets the eye. I write all day about these types of issues.
