Whereas I was reading this blog, I could not prevent myself from thinking about those authors thinking they are entitled to upvotes. Reactions to downvotes and this probably go together, somehow.

I've seen that happen many time, second chances, hell even third chances. Some may even just start fresh accounts in shame and do better there, who knows (if they're anon).

I am always in favour of second chances, and even sometimes third chances. I like to think it is better to try to educate people to behave better (this can also help them in their offline life). However, I agree that sometimes it becomes hopeless.

At least we can say that we tried (let's be positive)...

I've always valued my reputation on Hive.

We are (at least) two here :-)

Apologies also from the lack of posting, my vacation after some health treatments […]

I hope you enjoyed your vacation, and it is nice to see your health is getting better (I assume this is related to the problems you mentioned in a blog a while ago). I haven’t taken any decent break since almost a year, and COVID exhausted me in many many ways. I am looking forward to a true offline time close to a lake and with a lot of fresh air. This may eventually happen... soonish...

Cheers!
