Little Dan wrote a post yesterday.
When I say 'write a post', it was more of a 2 minute scribble, but he wrote this:
?It is widely believed and reported in Russia that US Weapons were used to kill up to 600 Russian troops in one missile attack. (note: Russia claims only 63 dead, but it's been reported as high as 600.)
What do you think of that?

At less than 80 words I wouldn't, myself, class this as much of a post.
But hey, not everyone has the same work ethic as myself, and many other content creators on Blurt.
I'm not concerned with post itself - but rather the response to my reply.
To be honest, I'm not really bothered by that too much either, this is more about what it highlights about the the mindsets of the witnesses, those who are part of 'the blurt cabal'.
Here was my reply to the last part of the post.

But if you mute me (like you did), it means that NO ONE ELSE can even see my 'free speech' on blurt.blog - the main landing page of the blurt platform.
Ergo, free speech is NOT what blurt is all about - at the moment.
It was, until the change a few months ago.
It's not a pro-business approach, but one of an authoritarian perspective - one of control.
The sooner witnesses vote to make this censorship option impossible, the better it will be for the platform.

Free speech is on the top of the list of 'liberty'.
....AAAAaaaaaaaand then, guess waht ?....He muted me - again. lol
...Thus totally contradicting the very statement that he just said...
(the mind truly boggles..).
....Now, if you look at the post on blurtlatam.intinte.org it's openly available to see - but not on 'certain other' front tends.
(Front ends which are inextricably linked to 'the cabal', funnily enough...).
This post in NOT about little dan's intellectual cowardice. (although a butt hurt ego stemming from emotional immaturity, might see it that way)....
....And it's NOT about not receiving an 100% upvote, either - as he openly stated for any comments made on the post. ...(at time of posting all the other comments WERE upvoted...)
This post is about highlighting the weakness of so called 'leadership' on this platform.
What would happen if 'we' all withdrew our votes for witnesses who are openly duplicitous, intellectually dishonest, emotionally retarded, brain dead, and utterly incompetent (or any mix of these, which seems to be the case)....????
As I posted a few days ago at the beginning of the year:
' There's no need to argue anymore'
And there isn't.
This is not an argument - not will they be one (unless butt hurt ego's, hurt by truths, decide to wander over onto the comment section under my post to embarrass themselves further).
Regardless of the 'new changes' ( the ones which allow accounts to mute anyone from seeing anothers words written under their posts) I regard- and will always regard - the comments sections under my posts as 'the public forum'.
I mute no one.
The principle of free speech is not for others to decide.
Unlike little dans perspective obviously....As he said himself, only a few weeks ago :
With people like this - Individuals who are deciding the future direction and rules on blurt (via the witness voting), I think it's fair to say the adage of " people get the governance they deserve", rings true.
Can you change the governance ethos, courage, integrity, by withdrawing all your voting powers to this quality of witness?
I don't know.
But what I do know, is this....
When you DO vote - support - idiots to runs things, anything in fact - don't be surprised when these same individuals turn all potentially very good things into a total fucking train wreck.
If voting makes a difference - the responsibility to choose intelligent individuals who will decide the direction Blurt - lies firmly at the feet of the Blurt users.
Vote accordingly.
@khrom, @fervi, @double-u, - for presidents !
( and @ctime and +@mmmmkkkk311 as well !)
And as for 90% of all the other witness ?
Tea boy,

You can tell the measure of a person when you observe that personal, butt hurt, 'fweel fweels' take a higher precedence than that of honoring contract.
"No Need To Argue" (alt. lyrics)
There's no need to argue anymore.
I gave Blurt all I could, but it left me so sore.
And the one thing that makes me mad,
Is allowing brain dead witnesses, to be bad ...
I knew, I knew,
I'd eventually lose you.
You'll always be, special needs to me,
Special to me, to me....
....."Blurt users, get the Blurt governance they deserve"...
NOT voting for incompetence - is a start...isn't it?
....have a great day, everyone !....
lol
....That's not much of a pro business response - nor a mature expression of a rebuttal to actual facts (now is it ?).
I'm not here to argue with you - just pointing out the facts, logical inconsistencies, and ways to improve Blurt.
I'm sure the users of blurt (and myself) would be delighted to hear you're 'pro-business strategies' - you know, the actual details and it's applications, rather than just the repeated one liner without any offering any actual substance to back it up.
....have a good day, matey....( and a happy new year !)
