Check your witness, close that door, don't let a draught in

in #shitpost6 years ago (edited)

When our ship was in a storm, i asked my captain why he was donning his life jacket, why he had called ahead and asked for a box of flares and why on earth he was lowering the life boat down.. loaded with meals..

He asked me to please not make any quarterback assumptions about anyone including himself.

I took this photo and now i will wax lyrical about the color, the sound of it, the solid design of it, but no... I am not going anywhere on a bike.

The photo is completely unrelated to the message of this post. I wish to steer clear of saying what I mean. I'm following the example of influential people here that do the same every day. Here's another photo. image

Maybe I can make a twenty minute video chastising ignorant people for panicking or speaking emotionally about topics that affect them. Or maybe I will just post another Harley pic

image

This way I needn't commit myself to those who trusted me all along, and besides, videos have a tendency to display anxiety in my voice.

Maybe I can talk about quality posts and how to curate .. but I prefer Harley pics instead

I have advice about voting, make sure of their principles, honesty, values and if they don't support censorship under the guise of quality or bullying minnows into limiting the choices they make with voting services. Much like this harley image

Genuine leather is better than vinyl, listen to the sound of it, don't ask about its place on the command deck. Remember, this is not real life or a ship, and we are just small investors. Large investors have every right to do whatever is financially best we are just quarterbacks. If whatever they say, do, or how they act, causes the ship to sink, that's too bad. How is this photo then?

Please, don't make assumptions. Vote for those with heart, because the rest are just...

None of this is for real and its not even my bike.

Parody only (I must say that because here are a lot of Kant's here who dispise shoes that fit)

Metaphoric but interesting post.
Since it is not direct, I cannot know your true intention.

Anyway,

@trumanity = Thomas Clothier
and @oneazania = left brain of Tom.

That's also interesting point.

Indeed - you are a person of depth. I wrote metaphorically for fear of negative reprisals from a witness who I felt was not adding any stability to steem by his arrogant and aggressive statements in a video.

This is a jungle here. Last night, I spent hours checking if the witnesses I vote for are supporting fascism in any way shape or form - If I saw a single fascist, I can excuse it - but seeing three or four, leads me to remove my vote.

Sadly, there are very very few who have not caved in and succumb to greed. I believe in dialogue, so I continue to contribute my time, effort, and even money by way of delegation if I can help a good cause. But I can never relinquish my principles, and a vote is a statement of support for a principle. So I will attempt to change the minds of those who support things I disagree with. This approach is really the only way to go sometimes, but one should never go unarmed as well. Remain cautious.

Hey. I noticed I lost your witness vote. Did I do/say something wrong? Just want to be the best witness I can. Let me know.

Let me know when you know.

I had a similar conversation with someone who is 11th in command on a steemship

I will read this again, maybe two more times but I like where you went with this.

I am a six month old minnow member.

We live in Wisconsin and Harley's are obviously very popular here.

I choose no voting services. Simple.

I vote for nothing I do not like nor do I post a negative comment. So easy to ignore.

I truly appreciate the people I connect with.

I ask just one thing....why do people vote on a post that has a question in it if they do not wish to offer an answer?

I haven't been on many motorcycles but would again if I had the opportunity.

This one would be a good choice!

I have never been to America but from what I have seen, it looks like an absolutely beautiful place for motorcycles like the Harley. I wish one day to own one of my own! The voting to which I referred here was witness votes - and it refers to a witness who posted a video condemning people who express fear and uncertainly about the new EOS token. His constant allusions to the virtues of EOS on this platform especially lead to fear and powering down on THIS platform. I was really upset and told him so, because some of us place our savings and effort here, believing in witnesses to do the same. If people take their money elsewhere, they should really do it quietly if they are a number 11 witness who has risen to the top by getting the support of minnows like ourselves along with larger accounts as well. I should keep my stupid mouth shut too, because they will soon tell me how I know nothing and have invested a pittance so I should shut up. Some people are extremely arrogant (a lot of money, in the upper-class financial bracket, believe they are high class, but lack class and manners).

I believe firmly in the adage that manners make man, and how lovely it is to know people with good manners like yourself :-) Have a wonderful week.
