I know where your head is, Hive account@bycoleman, and support the theory.

Bidbot users got no grounds to complain, they dont own the public square.
They can rule their own posts, but to make blanket flags on other people's posts is abusive, imo.
It certainly lacks discernment, and class.
Maybe i support the effort and want the comment visible, but i dont get that choice 'because its their stake'.
Smdh.

They take rewards from us all by hiring/being thugs to use their advantage in the math to profit at our expense, 'because they can'.
Any rewards not voluntarily voted to an account by another are ill gotten, imo.

They wouldnt have booted me from their discords if they didnt know i was right.
My continued harping about their bullying the weakest amongst us might have picked off some of the less intent on profits at any cost, so out i went.
No free speech for me!

Im still of the opinion that they should require rewards to be declined.
This solves the conflict and brings the price of trending to very reasonable levels.
But f' me, 'im an idiot'.

I pulled my support because i couldnt afford to be a victim of any scorched earth policies by flagging whales.
Im glad that you persist and hope some agreement can resolve this conflict.

As for@deliberator, he feels wronged, correctly, and as a passionately compassionate person reacts accordingly.
I hope you two can come to something mutually agreeable, too.
