The Retaliation of the Imposter - Clash of Egos

When a thorn is pressed, does it not go deeper?

Marky has chosen his course of downvote abuse which he justifies by a most flimsy argument.

I used Ecency to promote a livestream which went live soon thereafter on Hive account@dtube. It didn't have much rewards although nor did my livestream which irrespective of how he may feel reflects considerable effort. I created custom memes for the occasion and mapped them to my OBS with the intent to entertain which I evidently did.

But Marky is not entertained...

I wonder why. Perhaps because he knows he did wrong but hubris is a helluva a drug. In the past, he submitted a whopping 3 lines of code for utopian rewards while I was slavishly working to improve our bot and had much to show for it. He didn't think I would examine the source code and become savvy to his scheme.. Yet I did. I'm sorry I held my tongue at this misdoing.

But it goes deeper than that and to elucidate your minds I will share my former comment on another post that he downvoted because I rattled his ego.

What do I mean by "pretty sus"? The persona Marky puts out, the altruistic philanthropic voter and all around good guy, is what most people may experience but this quickly changed when I criticized him for suspicious behavior.

What'd I'd say today is it could happen to any of you if you happen to say anything that would rattle the mans ego or create bad optics. He showed me his teeth. Taunted me about mental disorder and a number of unsavory things.

I understand he may be voting a lot of yall and you don't want that to change but just be aware that perhaps the persona he puts out is the imposter.

_{What happened after calling out Marky on flag abuse.}

I hope he learns to be more amicable in disagreement but may be a bit more humbling required. (and sometimes that requires bringing light to the issue) When you have a problem with someone, downvoting them won't necessarily make it go away. Some people have the power to throw around but doesn't make it right no matter how much HP you have.

I have attempted to resolve this prior to making this public but Marky is not a gracious person which you may learn if you get on his bad side.

Do I intend to continue my labors to make Hive better? Bet your ass I do. Will I stay my tongue to not be suppressed by power tripping Marky?

I don't think so

I have a post ready to go that outlines his more egregious abusive taunts towards my person. I prefer to reconcile but will be a thorn in the side of any person who has satiated their ego with being stiff necked and cruel.

I've seen it before but I gave him the benefit of a doubt. Now I experience it firsthand.
