Setting the Record Straight on The-Resistance -- @firedream replies to @grumpycat

@grumpycat;

Although this post is not addressed directly to me there is misinformation about @the-resistance and about your mission so I feel the need to reply.

For your words,

and

Let's check the history and how it all started.
Let the truth speak.

• It all started with my Open Letter to you.
  I was so naive that I thought there was some good, negotiable person in you. The letter was finishing with the words:
  
  There was no one, absolutely nobody with me....

• Thinking actions are more effective than words, I made you a tool: https://botanalyse.neocities.org
  With this, you are able to see the last minute posters. You could easily select spammers and abusers. With this, nobody would have a word to say and you would have a big community support.
  Which you have never cared to use!

• I started to put comments on your innocent victims' posts as a protest.
  The first ones were so naive, as below:

Yes, I started sending money to people you hurt...

And I admit that the money came from the Open Letter. You upvoted it.

It wasn't fair to keep this money with me since it didn't make the necessary effect on you.

I carefully selected the victims, no last minute posts, good content since the resources were limited. (Later, there were some upvotes from you and they all went to TARC, YAH and the-resistance )

• Then I started to manually flag you, all alone. Just trying to give you a message.
  

You, of course, didn't care about a simple flag of a minnow.

But I was lighting the fire of the resistance, just as a minnow.

• Walking alone on this road, I met with @r351574nc3 ... just thinking the way I did and also acting the way I did.
  

Another minnow ( and now a witness ) trying to compensate the damage you have done with his own efforts, sending money to your victims.
We teamed up ... just two of us.

• It took me a month to realize that you simply don't care who you are hurting. Focused on your fight, hurting innocent people, taking away their hard earned SBD as "collateral damage" of your fight.

This is what terrorists do in real life.

I came to a point where words no longer have meaning

• And I did ... I sent the message to every whale, every bot owner that can help us. ( now it is us since we are 2 people in the resistance )

It was only @MichaelDavid (@sneaky-ninja) who replied to our call.
Those days, you were fighting with @boomerang and @sneaky-ninja was a small target for you.

• I made a call to @MichaelDavid, to stop this sensless fight
  

And he replied in a most respectful way :

That is how @michaeldavid was involved in the-resistance

• The resistance officialy started with our post : https://steemit.com/we-resist/@firedream/resistance-started
  @r351574nc3 is a skillful dev who developed the ethical bot "We-Resist".

Now we have a tool, a gathering point for people to reply you back.
A tool for all, who don't approve of what you are doing.

And we have a discord channel, where you sometimes come for a chat!

• Then we had many people, people with heart and courage to tell you, "There are people here, who don't agree with what you are doing."

• The-Resistance is, was mostly minnows. We tried to reach whales many times without success. No whale was interested in our cause.
  But we learned that community, friendship is much more important than the money of the whales.

@sircork
@drakos

and many others, which I don't want to name here to protect them from being a target, believed us.

They joined us in our resistance.

We started to tell people, what you really do on every platform.

In the-resistance we have such a friendship that even your unproportional flags couldn't destroy it but only bond us together.

You flagged people just because they are resisting you!

Now we are at a point where most of the steemit community is able to tell the difference between right and wrong.

And you started to play the "VICTIM" ...
You complain about censorship ...

You know us. We give our word:

The resistance will stop the day you stop hurting innocent minnows!

We are not any of your kind to give such messages.

We are neither minions of anyone nor brainwashed.

WE ARE THE-RESISTANCE!
