RE: Although subjectively downvoting posts to zero is anathema to me, the Layer 1 ability to do so must remain (for now at least)

@Janan.Jarrah is a lawyer I meet with weekly (over the last 9+ years). She’s a valued member of my business T.E.A.M and, if you must know, we are always talking about all things business and investing. She is very good at what she does and has my full trust and respect built on many years of working closely with each other.

This isn’t a threat of litigation (at this point) but should be considered as a heads up. People with qualifications (on and off the blockchain) are watching closely to see what transpires on this blockchain. We are breaking ground and pioneering new and better ways to human (at least I think that’s what we are doing…) and so what we do and how we do it sets precedent. This is why this is important.

I consult weekly with my legal advisor… as I believe anyone truly wanting to innovate and BUIDL in this space should.

Your attempts to discredit me publicly are only showing people who you are.

I’m the one standing on solid ground. Made up labels and lies only go so far and we can not found the blockchain on this subjective and opinionated mindset.

I don’t plagiarize (never have never will… I have to much pride in my content to do something so belittling.) so lumping me in there with people who do is insulting and could be considered defamation. (Should we put that to the test by asking the community what they think?)

As for accusations of “abusing the reward pool” with my own poweredUP stake… Who are we kidding. We all know that this is a completely contentious and subjective concept perpetrated by those who want to control and in effect “own” other peoples accounts by normalizing and justifying their particular use of the DV.

This could even be considered abusing our layer 0 in order to “protect the reward pool”. Does this not deserve some merit as a potential harmful practice?

So who gets to actually “decide” what “abusing the reward pool” actually means?

Let me guess…

Some shadowy figures who are imposing themselves on the other owners of this blockchain via the current undeveloped DV mechanism.

If we continue to fight amongst ourselves about this sort of thing… it won’t be long before we don’t have a reward pool to fight over.

As you can see…

This is complete and utter bullocks and counterproductive to actual growth, progress, and innovation on this blockchain.

We could almost make a case that anyone arguing these sorts of issues and attempting to rip at other peoples reputations in this way is actually harbouring allegiances to “something” other than this blockchain.

What that “something” is might come into question as actions do speak louder than words.

This method of shallow inquest and accusation is very harmful (not just to me but this entire blockchain) and is clearly founded on untruths and made up labels.

You have said you peace about what you think as have I.

Seeing as your positioning yourself in the way that you are… I have nothing more to say to you.

At this point… what you have to say isn’t constructive to the topic.

Your attempting to attack my person rather than add to the conversation in a beneficial way.

The people who know me and have known me over the last 4+ years will know better.

But thank you for announcing exactly who you are and what you are capable of.
