    The fact does not change that he was well and truly trolling. There are plenty of reasons that I can think of, a few obvious ones would be jealousy and immaturity.

    He made a post boasting about how he gained followers whilst sweet lost some. Well, I honestly don't think sweet cares because people recognise valuable content when they see it, and randompic provides nothing close to that.

    This is where it all started.

    In the post about frogs, he then literally posts 200 comments making baseless, defamatory accusations, spamming almost every single reply from other users with a comment.

    Some of those comments were downvoted leading to his lowered reputation. They were downvoted because the community does not condone trolling. He is welcome to have his enquiry, but spamming 200 comments, spreading lies is the exact definition of what cyber bullying is. How ironic that now plays the victim to cyber bullying FULLY knowing that he was the one to dish it out in the first place.

    How pathetic.

    Ok I actually used the last 2 hours milling over his and her comments replies etc. Here is what I noticed. It started about 6 days ago. By him, (of course) we know this and don't dispute it. However, the repetitive nature of what ppl are calling "trolling" yes to an extent it is I will agree partially, but the takeaway here for me is that @randompic didn't go all in ballistic until he got knocked down to 4, after getting his mildly few comments down voted, and some lunatic using profanity, aggression, and threats against him. That persons replies WERE NOT down voted by one whale.

    I believe this is a problem as well. I read the white paper and both sides can claim fault easily. I did notice something tho about @sweetsssj she has posted comments, but when I go to find context in the comments section, I cannot find the comment that was hyperlinked. I scrolled through hundreds of comments to find the comment in her reply section and there isn't anything there. Now since the blockchain is recording everything, I am beginning to wonder how many comments were deleted after the fact.

    I would like steemit founders to fix this. It is a worrisome problem that if spoken about enough outside the platform will damage the Steemit brand. As I said before this is a black eye for Steemit. I will continue to believe so until whale act appropriately.

    BTW I was flagged by a whale after responding to a video where the author asked for responses. Nothing happened to him, all that happened was I got flagged, and then ignored by the Steemit help board.

    They really need to get their heads out of their collective 4 points of contact and fix this. If this was my baby and my reputation (not just a number beside my name) was on the line, I'd be all over this issue. But hey, that is the way I was raised...
