I certainly have never had the gun and knife experience. I guess I'm a bit more passive when it doesn't effect me directly, but it actually has effected me directly. I've been muted by a good handful of people. But seriously, why do you care so much if a few people mute you, you can now see the playing field that more clearly. With the use of this site...https://blurtblock.herokuapp.com/
I find it fascinating, seeing who is muting who. Gives so much insight into the divide here on Blurt. It's kind of like turning the lights on and seeing what you are surrounded by. So for me I really have no problem with the mute button as I'm just going to use it as a further source of information to understand deeper where lines have been drawn.
I'm not going to mention names but there were a few people muting each other, that I was totally surprised to see. Very interesting stuff being revealed here if you look into who is using the mute button on who.
This has nothing to do with me, ergo the question is moot.
Answers are easy - but learning to ask the right questions is a skill that can take a lifetime to master.
You're making me miss American-Chineese fortune cookies! hahaha. If you are gonna make a stand on this issue, I'm not gonna try stop you. But for me...this issue is not that important, even if that means I'm full blown midwit. All good brother, hope the crusades go well.
if you ever feel the need to write a sentence to try and trigger me - the last 30% of this sentence is the bullseye ! lololololol
you DO seem to have issues with self identification as being a midwit - fascinating - never seen that before...I'll have to have a deeper dig onto your noggin' when I have more time...
( I also have to try and counter trigger you here, it's only polite...lol)
enjoy whats left of your sunday,matey..
It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. Enjoy your evening too matey!
...losing your shirt isn't much fun, either - never mind your eyes.
(soz for grim humor- that's kinda one of me specialties..)
While you may not see this issue as important - I do. (no pun intended).
...And I tend to have a pretty good 'long distance vision'..
I see my efforts in this as moving in the right direction .
(which would include helping to 'get your shirt back', by default).
And also, by default - I see any efforts in promoting this new system as being 'the acceptable new status quo' - as being entirely antithetical to moving in a positive destination for blurt.
I can't think of one single instance where the increased restriction of free speech and the reduction in freedoms in area's of public debate, has EVER turned out well for any specific ecosystem involved...(ie all result in social degradation and a loss of asset value in said ecosystem).....
....Or ......is this exercise in the restricting free speech and area's of public debate, somehow 'different' this time ? .......hmmmmmm....
I'm not clever enough to be able to put together a cogent argument for this scenario...
From my perspective, I'm promoting fun and games - but one where everyone has their shirts on !... and definitely no eye gouging..that might kinda hurt - and would make blogging a bugger !
I hear you loud and clear, and in many ways I'm very happy you are here to press on such issues, as you know I've been trying to do my own balancing act while still being in your corner and it's becoming harder to do so for me personally. As I just don't feel like dealing with the blow-back, especially on the mute button issue. (I'm just not as committed I guess..lol) But heck, if you can get my shirt back I'll surely be your new Best Friend Forever!
BFF ! lol -woooooooohoooooo !
I know your position very well, matey - don't stress.
