You have come here numerous times and accused me of all kinds of fraud, lying and abusive behaviour - dropped acidic verbal attacks and claimed to know all about me without ever attempting to engage in anything approaching a friendly manner or even reading my posts (or actually knowing anything about me).

Sorry but I'm pretty sure I've read your posts early on and wasn't instantly aggressive, especially the one about the word censorship and how it may exist on Hive. If it got aggressive over time then it's probably cause of things you've said. Not my fault most of the content you guys produce gets so little engagement and possibly consumption that the thing that pops in my head is that the possibility of sockpuppeting to pretend to be spreading that stake around but in the end it going to the same few people exists and is highly likely. Social activity is something we focus on with our curation after years of bloggers just dumping content no one reads and getting autovotes/"friend" votes and not giving a shit about anything else and taking it for granted. It's also not something you can prove, obviously, that's probably what makes it something easy to accuse you of so I'm not really defending it being a great retort just in general disagreeing with your ways and adding vulgarity on top of it. I'm passionate about Hive, not to a point where I'd go against reason but if there's suspicion that people are acting against it for ulterior motives then it does trigger me quite a bit because I've seen most reactions to downvotes over the years and when it's not complete morons acting out it's not as easy to deal with it but in the end it's been proven that it's mostly about the rewards and not the things they suddenly come up with when the downvotes start happening.
