Unbelievable. You have some twisted ideas on what it means to contribute and value community and comments.

I would have you know... I value ALL comments. People take time out of their day to write intelligent responses to posts... and I acknowledge them the same way I do in person. With 100% of my attention.

I live by a mantra... heck yes... and heck no. If I agree or like what a post or comment brings to the community... as an owner I have every right to upvote a comment the way I see fit.

Each comment represents time and brain juice and should therefore be respected as if someone was pausing their day to talk to you.

In fact...

I would go so far as to say that comments are what show that people care. If they are not valued then it won’t be long before what makes this a real exchange of value is marginalized for what it brings.

Zero comments equals zero community.

I have significant Hive Power... and I continue to spend my hard won Bitcoin... to buy Hive and build here on the blockchain... and that is going to continue.

As well... I like to take time to rank and value comments in posts I read. Yes! I read comments! AND I Upvote the ones I like the best! That is exactly why that is a function on the comments section of a post.

I’ll also rank own comments from time to time as I do put significant effort into thinking carefully and responding with 100% effort.

When there are 100’s of comments it is possible to move your comment up the ranking so as to increase visibility. And if that option exists I use it for that reason. (Not for farming... I’m not that cheap! Hahaha! That’s so insulting actually! 😐)

Obscurely is the enemy on all social networks... that is why it is possible to upvote your comment and other people’s comments that are valuable.

I am even considering putting together a special event to celebrate comments on the Hive Blockchain... and I am continually investing (social capital matters) in the individuals on Hive one #HighFive at a time. That means I send people 5 Hive all the time... if you need confirmation you can check my transaction logs. I have been giving away Hive for over 2 years now.

What does your transaction log look like? Are you investing into the community of people in positive and healthy ways?

This response and what I have experienced here has showed me enough of what I need to know.

I will be removing ALL my Witness Votes to your account as soon as I return from my vacation.

I don’t think that your ideas about what constitutes healthy and unhealthy social activity stands for what most people think and believe here on Hive.

Thank you, however, for showing me who you are.... I have been carefully re-evaluating my Witness Votes... and you have made this decision very easy for me.
