Does it seem to you that some people compete with malice?

It does seem that way at times.
Like when someone prominent a day or two ago was promoting something that would only serve large accounts which are mining the reward pool with bots, and just outright bullshitting trying to say that it would not make a difference to manual voters. No presentation of facts just bullshit.
I have noticed that some people are psychopathic genetically. Others take on those traits willingly to get ahead. The latter seem to measure their own success by how many people they feel they can legitimately look down on.
I am not apposed to taking action to disrupt their activities.
