The problem is, now you are trying to reframe this conversation like what you said about me is not personal.

Is this quote from you a positive? Is the point of this to promote a good discussion?

It appears to me that you set yourself up as judge, jury and executioner of what you deem to be an acceptable allotment of the reward pool.

No. You are judging my character for self voting.

The problem is, I self voted a burn post that I wrote not for me but for everyone. I want people like you to come and argue with me in a heated way.

I do not like you twisting things and taking them out of context to fit your own narrative.

I am sorry everyone is so bent out of shape about steem and so many people don't want to move one. Looks like steem still exists? People can go back if they think HIVE is so terrible.

People cannot operate in some non existing place which is HIVE + what they miss about steem. Hive is hive and nothing more.

The steem story adds context yes. But from my experience, it seems like a lot of people that came from the steem days miss it. They will never let it go. It defines them as people.

How you let something define you is a choice.

I am not bitter. I am emotional. There is a difference.

You tried to take something I did and take it out of context by applying steem days to it. I cannot go back in time and get on steem and go through what you did. I am sorry it was hard.

Holding newer users to the standard that they must understand everything that happened before today is not a recipe for success. If we want to onboard new users, forcing them to reminisce about steem (which frankly sounds like either hell or purgatory) is not a recipe for success and drives user like myself, who want to invest in the ecosystem, away.

You are not unique in how you approached this. Many other people from the steem days share your instincts.

You came to my blog and hurt my feelings by trying to make me look like a bad person or make me look ignorant.

I am not a robot and I do not appreciate being treated this way.
