Targeted again by more losers. Please flag into oblivion.
Now deceit should be used to make profits from "retards" like myself and @canadian-coconut, for respectfully sharing our views on this platform, apparently.
Have a look at the post HERE.
Flag away, Steem-O's. REMEMBER TO FLAG @i-repost, and NOT THE RESTEEMED POSTS OF OTHERS.
I AM NOT REQUESTING THE POST IN QUESTION BE FLAGGED BECAUSE OF DISAGREEMENT ON THE ISSUE OF VACCINATION, BUT BECAUSE I FEEL THE METHODS FOR GARNERING PROFIT ADVOCATED BY THE POST ARE HARMFUL TO THE INTEGRITY OF THE PLATFORM AS A WHOLE.
Cheers.

Graham Smith is a Voluntaryist activist, creator, and peaceful parent residing in Niigata City, Japan. Graham runs the "Voluntary Japan" online initiative with a presence here on Steem, as well as Facebook and Twitter. (Hit me up so I can stop talking about myself in the third person!)
I nuked him the moment I saw it, but was worried about how it would be percieved since I'm a little bit OP and it took his rep to 4..
I talked to him and ron in the freezepeach room and decided to swap it for a 1% flag on a comment instead, but it looks like he's just continued to troll since and I shouldn't have had any mercy..
I really don't have much mercy when it comes to stuff like this. I love Steemit. This type of thing is bad for the platform.
I think also, that weaponised responses to these threats should be celebrated. We have a platform, in a virtual world, that has real world effects. Starving these pigs of their income most definitely will lower the profit of their mischief.
Now, if only we could set things to rights by wiping out all the premine SP and set the power ratios back to even. @ausbitbank, I have been talking this up in my blog a lot recently, and I just want to suggest you consider supporting a campaign to make a hardfork that deletes the pre-forum steem power from the accounts that premined it.
No offense, but that is a really stupid idea. Someone's premined coins are still their coins, it would be incredibly unethical (trust me I know unethical :^]) to take them away.
Also, it's completely unrelated to anything in this post.
Coins or contracts that grant voting power? The distinction is very important.
You can hold your claim that stolen money is still stolen money, as long as you like. The rest of the world won't agree with you that steem power mined before it was truly public, should be worth anything.
I'm sure P.T. Barnum is rolling in his grave at the fact that there is still people out there who think that those who are guilty of defrauding the public should not have their ill gotten gains taken away.
coins/contracts same diff since you can exchange between the two.
It's not really stolen money though, people should have been aware of the premine just like with all other cryptos.
And if we wanna bring up the rest of the world, then they'd probably agree with my assessment of people like canadian and kafka. So why even bother bringing that argument into it?
anyway, I just noticed who you are. Welcome to follow:what:ignore and I'm flagging this post because of who you are and what you are doing. I was looking for somewhere to spend my next 3 votes today. Thanks for letting me know, dickhead.
lol flagging based on identity is just bad practice. Would you jump off a bridge if kafka told you to?
Care to explain what I'm doing? I kinda of wanted to have a discussion about this.
Lol, holy crap. I was gonna flag but I don't see the point anymore... Were you involved in the nuking of Bilal Haider, too?
It is not acceptable to call other people on Steemit, "the most gullible of retards."
Debate with me all you like, fine.
Nobody has to agree with me or like me.
We should all stay civil though,
something that i-repost has not done.
What is really funny is that this poor guy thinks we are "mad." I find the dishonest means of making money through exploiting people's compassion unpalatable. The free market of Steem is speaking.
@Kafkanarchy84, capitalism should not tell people how they can or cannot make money. That is freedom. When you start to try to dictate the rules, the morality, through subjectivity or maybe objectivity, you begin to regulate maybe too much and you begin to centralize the process of determining who can money and how they can make money.......... but it becomes your system..... you become the king or the God of the world when you start to tell people that they are breaking the rules of the supply and demand for economics, for capitalism.......
.
While you tell some people that they cannot make money this way or that way or another way, you are therefore emphasizing that this one issue or person or whatever is a bigger problem then how the Democrats and CNN and many people have been given financial support from terrorists......
.
So, you are saying this is so much worse than terrorism.......... and you are saying this either directly or indirectly regardless of whether it is or is not your intent... regardless of whether you know it or not..... you are asking for bigger government..........
.
Steemit and Bitcoin is against that kind of regulation that you call for.............
When did I tell anyone how to make money? This is a stake-weighted voting platform. Do you get that? That means stake holders can use their votes (up or down) as they please. What exactly is your angle here?
I never told anyone how they can or cannot make money. You sound ridiculous.
I flagged him btw..
Gonna hijack upper post this to bring attention to something a bit interesting.
Currently, this post has 90 upvotes. While my post has a total of 12 votes. Why aren't all the people upvoting this post coming to downvote my post?
Few possibilities might be
A) They see it's already low enough and don't bother
B) They auto-upvoted this post and aren't even online
C) They upvoted for some of that sweet sweet creation reward and actually didn't even read the post.
If C is even the least bit true, then that would indicate major problems with steemit.
One more thing...
Right now this post is worth $120 and will give kafka a nice little payout, but is it really worth that?
There are hundreds of other actually somewhat interesting posts that aren't valued anywhere near as much despite being of actual substance and not lazy low quality drama.
Currently, the community is saying that a post about some retard telling people that some other retard made a shitpost is more valuable than the art, recipes and the majority of other posts on this website.
Once again, I would like to thank kafka for bringing attention to my posting for I believe it helps to point out some of the flaws with steemit that will hopefully be corrected when more knowledgeable and level-headed witnesses take over.
Maybe you are retarded and don't realise that upvotes and downvotes burn VP the same way. I think this post has enough visibility, I follow this user, have done for a long time, and you, sir, are a moron. Now, I have another two flags to apply with my other account.
Well obviously they do, but there shouldn't be a difference of 80 votes.
And good on you for having multiple accounts, as you could tell from the post but I'm a huge supporter of multi-accounting. It's really profitable.
I have @elfspice, because I owned that name back in 2002, on DMT world and The Hive. You might not even be old enough to remember these sites.
I discovered about 6 months ago that some asshole had taken the name @elfspice and was poncing around pretending to be me.
How would you feel about that? Do you think you would have grabbed the account name on Steem if some asshole had been ruining your reputation in the rest of thte interwebs?
It was worth a try, at least.
Just go seach the hive archives you find here and there. Go read some @elfspice posts. See if you don't recognise my writing and my obsessions.
I remember hearing about them, never bothered with them though because the arcade machines said that winners don't use drugs.
I mean, that really just depends whether or not you really care what others think about your screen name and its "reputation." I guess it also depends on if you identify with your screen name or believe yourself to have some claim to ownership over it.
Personally, I don't believe that online reputation matters in the slightest or that an account name is any actual signifier of who a person is.
@canadian-coconut I was horrified to see this treatment of you! Your response says all that needs to be said. Jealous trolls will be jealous trolls.
It is the same troll that trolled my post, and that is unacceptable behavior to call people names. It is not the way to succeed on this site.
yeah thats pretty jacked up...theres people with down syndrome legitly suffering and this guy takes no regard of the meaning of "the most gullible retards".
I don't mind being called a "retard," per se, but this poor fellow doesn't understand that there are real market consequences for such actions.
It's both. He wants other steemians to scam the most 'gullible retards' out of their votes by lying to them them and taking advantage of their caring nature.
You know, I actually care about people who are autistic. That's one reason that I speak out like I do. But this man has no problem mocking autistics. He's following @baah around, calling himself @baahs-caretaker, and commenting that people should go easy on baah because he is autistic and is his special boy.
@canadian-coconut yeah thats pretty mean, I have a friend named nick who is autistic as well, and is very intelligent and is a great person, but what is sad is people like him just make fun of him
Yeah, I don't like that, either.
yeah...they really shouldnt be on steemit
@canadian-coconut, I think people should debate with you more. Sadly, some people are flagging instead of debating. That is what the left does. That is what Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders and Obama and CNN and people on the left encourages people to do. People should look at the history of the vaccines. Look at the mercury. Look at the affect vaccines has. Look at the people who are told be revaccinated again and again. Look at the affect it has on their children. I was not vaccinated. They told my mom to vaccinate me. What happened to me? Am I dead now because I was vaccinated? Am I worse off now?
I'm glad to debate anyone at any time.
@kafkanarchy84, a flag is not a debate. You are living in a paradox. You are a Democrat. You say one thing but you do a different thing all together.
Wrong. Boycotting a store or merchant is not a vote in the same way that voting for a political candidate is. I am expressing a market preference for not being scammed by jealous losers that don't want to treat their fellow humans as such. How am I a democrat for pointing out the fly in the soup?
Have fun with your religion. You are doing the same thing he or she is doing. You are telling people what to do. They are telling people what to do too. But you think you are better because you believe you are right and the others are wrong. But those people think you are wrong. You are not tolerant and you do not care that others disagree with you.
.
You say you care and you say you are opened to debate but then you downvote and stuff which does the opposite of debate. You discourage people from debating with you when you flag them. The flag is like a punch in the face. You tell people to debate but then when they say something you do not like, then like the left, like the mafia, you punch them in the face through the system of flagging.
"Punch in the face?" Have you read the white paper. Do you understand the platform??? Get outta here.
I believe in the freedom of speech. Kathy Griffin held the head of a USA President. In NYC, they murdered the president every night in a play. Snoop Dog shot the President. I described an action that you did. And you said that I did what you did. I was telling you what you did when you flagged people. I described an analogy. I described an illustration. You told me to get out of here. You are telling people what to do like a bully. You act like a bully like the left. People say that people can do all of these things and say many things. I said something that was meant to describe the situation. You take what I said out of context. That is too bad for you.
We have both debated nicely with LOTS of people.
Most people stay civil even when we disagree.
Did you read the post by i-repost?
I'm confused why you think flagging that would be innappropriate.
We don't flag people who want to debate.
I flagged someone once who called me a "satanist." noganoo put my name in the title of his rant and his first tag was "satanist".
That is an appropriate flag.
And so is flagging someone who calls you a retard in his post and tells people to scam you by lying to you and pretending to have an injured child.
Whaaaaaaat?!!!!!
Sadly it's true.
I will not flag people no matter what they call me. Because once you go down that path of flagging, it takes you down the path of the dark side. It becomes maybe too subjective. Especially because I do not want to flag people for something that I might do myself. But regardless of whether I do or wrong or a right thing, some people think they can determine whether what I did was right or wrong through their subjective emotions that are blind to objective reality.
.
You have the freedom to flag for any reason on Steemit maybe. I mean, there are different reasons why people flag other people.
.
But I am not going to say that flagging is or is not a good or bad thing. I think it is not that simple to describe and everything....
.
If you are emotionally affected by an insult, then you can seek revenge or justice or whatever you want to call it regardless of what it may or may not really or actually be.........
.
I did not flag people on Steemit yet......
.
You can flag people whenever you want........
.
But this is a very subjective practice........ because an insult is not always a bad thing..... sometimes, people say things to help you see the truth...... an insult is not always an insult...... but we can become too emotional and affected in a too personal way that blinds us from eternal perspective..........
Let he or she who is without sin cast the first stone or flag......... let the perfect person flag the not perfect people........... I am not perfect and I am bias and I make mistakes and I do wrong things...... I want to reward people for doing good.....
?????
This is a stake-weighted voting platform man. Not a church.
You are so racist.
Thanks @kafkanarchy84 for calling attention to this delusional individual. You are having quite the week!!! I had never flagged before, but this week half my steem power is gone. It's clearly true - jealousy makes you nasty!!!
@KafkAnarchy84... I don't know You well, but I know You have a very good relationship with @Canadian-Coconut (Linda) and that's good enough for me to back You.
Thank You 4 writing this Post... Well done Sir !!
Have a Good Weekend... Cheers !!
Although I just did a post against censorship by flagging/downvoting -basically because whoever has the biggest wallet can censor whatever they want. (And ultimately that would be Jacob Rotchild), I have to admit I have enjoyed seeing this all play out.
https://steemit.com/steemit/@sift666/a-censorship-threat-to-steemit
Safe to say I've been unimpressed with what this guy was doing on Steemit in the past!
I gotta say, I am grateful for the ability to downvote. I know it can be abused, and maybe there could be some safeguards put not place, but I feel that the market does a pretty good job as is of punishing actions detrimental to the platform.
I hate censorship as well, but feel that users should be abe to maintain their own comments sections as they please, etc. It is akin to me supporting a guy's right to scream about the necessity of this or that cause, but not supporting his right to do it into living room.
The folks I have flagged in the last week (I know you aren't criticizing me here, just saying) have basically tried to steal my "identity" and to scam me out of money deceitfully.
I have no problem seeing these users' accounts obliterated, especially as they just laugh about what they did, and I continue to receive threats from one of them.
There may be a better way. There could be some security "firms" (powerful accounts) put into place to render insurance against flag abuse as well. I think this would be a great idea.
What is flagging?
When you downvote a post. You can do this by clicking the flag icon on the upper right of any post. It does use voting power, just like upvoting does, though.
Thank you
That´s funny, what is flagging?
My goodness I've just seen this and am completely horrified! I mean I was aware of people on here who have trouble expressing their views in a civil manner but to use that kind of language is simply not within the values of Steemit. Very disappoining to hear if this but pleased this user has been flagged.
Keep Steemin @canadian-coconut and @kafkanarchy84
Your posts are great!
seems trolls are more popular by each day, few days ago i saw from another guy about same message and rep of other guy went from 60 to 5, im not against witch hunting if its justified, i just dont see why people troll so hard, may be they was hacked?
Upvoted & RESTEEMED :]
