RE: Being Flagged for No Reason
Noganoo -- I went back and looked at some of this flagging/comment history.
You seem to have started the "childish" behaviour as you call it, by flagging his article about Alex Jones for "stirring" the pot.
Stirring the pot should NEVER be a reason to flag an entire post.
Yes, titusfrost responded badly, I imagine because you attacked him in the first place (by the flag) in such an unjustified way. Both of your behaviours continued to worsen.
It may be justified to flag the individual comments where he is cursing you out and calling you names. But to flag entire posts, and to flag completely new unrelated posts is very uncalled for in my opinion.
You want titusfrost to grow up, but why not try growing up first yourself.
I talk about very controversial subjects here on Steemit myself, and I know that you usually vote for me (thanks). I know how badly it makes me feel when people have flagged my articles simply because they disagree with me questioning what they believe is "unquestionable", so they want to punish me by flagging me.
Please let titusfrost continue to post on Steemit free of your harassment.
If you don't harass him, I doubt that he will seek you out to harass you.
Exactly, I still have not flagged this kid. Check the Facts. He got upset because I called out Alex Jones. He addressed none of my criticisms, and started with ad hominem tactics to justify his bullshit.
Sorry but swearing is also not a reason for flagging, it's called freedom of expression. Can't handle tough words, don't come onto my blog.
Swearing directly at someone is different than using swearwords in your article -- in real life I walk away or hangup the phone, etc if someone starts swearing directly at me. Having said that, I do not think that would usually justify a flag on Steemit, and I have only flagged a comment from Kyriacos when he said that he wanted my children to die (because I don't vaccinate them) and a clear spammer who was putting the same spam post on my articles and others over and over. I let everything else slide .. no matter how much it rubs me the wrong way.
I didn't mean that noganoo should flag you for swearing at him, but I would understand that and not judge him harshly for it, however what he has been doing flagging each subsequent, unrelated article that you write is absolutely an ABUSE of what the flag is meant for.
