There is a quick way to lose my sympathy and agreement... censor me.

So I read the following post by Hive account@onealfa. Curation at it's worst... I actually thought he had some points. I chimed in.

I then went and wrote another post...

I waited and noticed the auto-vote he was talking about didn't happen. I took the time to go back and tell him it looked like the person he pointed out listened.

Then I noticed he chose to hide my comment.

I have A LOT bigger problem with that type of activity than the activity he chose to point out. He had my support. Yet now his own actions need challenge...

The above image is what I encountered... "Hidden due to low reputation or author preferences".

It looks like to me he is trying to put things that don't fit his desired outcome out of view... let me share my comment here... Let me know if you think it deserved to be hidden.

If I was not so against down votes this post would now be getting a down vote for me. I'm actually a little miffed I up voted the post. I had higher expectations. This actually pisses me off far more than what he was pointing out. If this is acceptable behavior for #proofofbrain then it will make me think twice about increasing my stake and posting in it as I have. I actually don't think this is acceptable behavior though.

It is not quite hypocrisy but it is a close neighbor.

I'm going to go ahead and UNHIDE the other people too... let's see what they had to say.

EDIT: For the record I was fine with not receiving a bot vote. That is why I up voted his post, commented, and let him know it looked like Hive account@richardcrill listened. I am not fine with the actions he took though. Pretty manipulative and cowardly as far as I am concerned. If he didn't like what I said tell me why.

I am also speaking up against a Whale. Perhaps not the smartest thing to do. Yet it will reveal whether hive is truly any better than steemit or not.

EDIT 2: I had no clue just how big Hive account@onealfa, Hive account@onealfa.pob, Hive account@onealfa.leo, and many other accounts WAS when I responded. Thus, I treated him the same as any other user. I stand by that. Yet I do suspect some people are having the "backup, don't get too close" type of thoughts going through their heads as they wait for the hand of God to smite me.

EDIT 3: This post is an example of how I choose to present my version of a DOWN VOTE without actually down voting someone.

EDIT 4: Hive account@onealfa.pob has up voted this post and some comments/replies. That is indeed better than steemit and he didn't smite me. That earns back some respect.
