RE: Guess the Fallacy and What is the most common?

in LOGICZOMBIE5 years ago

Yes i tend to get stuck in adhominem mode from time to time. Another that I adopted quickly and over used was the appeal to authority.

What do you make of the unfolding events?
We have an interesting balance of power going on. I withdrew the votes for the sake of expediency following the example of @freedompoint74 who was becoming quite outspoken. I heard a conversation between some of the Witnesses and one actually recounted some not so veiled threats that were made freedompoit who has now deleted some of his previous posts.
Not an unwise move at this point in time is my best guess. I am very interested to learn how you are seeing things

Sort:  

I have deleted every video I have made regarding anything to do with Steem or Tron. I deleted all of those types of videos from my youtube. I have deleted every post about it from twitter. I have removed all of my witness votes. I am returning to what this was all about for me in the beginning. To keep my head down and hopefully inspire people that enjoy my content. **

DECENTRALIZED LIBERTARIAN FREEDOM = FASCISM

Well, the first step is admitting you have a "problem"...

what i dont get, is when people get pissed off when I make a course correction due to new information coming to light.

Dino = Decentralized in name only.
We have an opportunity right now to change the Witness selection process and create a truly decentralized platform. The only way I can see to do that creates a problem for a lot of people as it destroys the anonymity of the voters. I dont care so much about that and our votes would not necessarily need to be linked to our accounts.

Nothing outrageous or abusive.
Explanation of why he was voting the Sun Witnesses.
The kind of thing that I resonate with, and I imagine that you would agree with at least in part.

That's encouraging (that it was not abusive) and disappointing (that it was removed) at the same time.

That sounds like the very definition of "reasonable".

Sure, people SHOULDN'T BE BRIBED OR BULLIED INTO VOTING FOR OR AGAINST ANY PARTICULAR ACCOUNT.

Even the steem-oligarchs say they believe this (at least until there's a "crisis").

We should consider civil debate the highest arbiter of conviction.

People tend to "rush-to-disqualify" anyone who isn't their personal favorite brand of sheeple.

I don't believe that making voter's identities part of the public record would help "solve" the "decentralization" "problem".

Increasing the number of "top witnesses" to 200, instead of 20 would "fix" the "problem" reasonably well. That change would make it much more difficult to implement "changes" and "fixes", but I see that as incidental (or even "a bonus feature"). A stable blockchain is paramount. There can be any number of "changes" and "fixes" implemented on the "front-ends" (https://busy.org/@hone.heke/q75hf2 for example).
