Glad you appreciated my exchange with double-u. It took some time for me to get tired of him running around pushing his lies (which saw the price drop significantly) as he stirred a growing mob up against the Blurt foundation. He is a trip in his anger at megadrive and by extension myself.

I notice he refuses to engage with you, and quickly has placed you on his mute list.

Click account tab then the mute tab to see who you have muted and who has muted you.

When I first got here I muted quite a few of the narcissistic selfie girls as there wasn't a lot of English posts and many that were being posted were ESL using a translator. So it made sense to me to knock the lowest quality from the new list while I searched for folks who interested me.

In hindsight now that some of the truthers have migrated over here I realize how much I grew to enjoy the lack of controversy and at times seeming innocence that was here when I got here. It reminded me a lot of what hooked me on Steem.

One of my first posts I encountered there was a young man in Africa posting his thanks that Steem had allowed him to buy some new shoes and eat at a restaurant with friends. Before Steem his life didn't allow for such extravagance. That opened my eyes a lot to what was possible in this economic model here, allowing someone of meager means like myself to actually make an impact for someone else whose local economic conditions demanded much less than mine to thrive.

Of course the fake beggars stood out more glaringly as well, but it didn't take long to find some really good folks here who have a conduct to themselves because of the harshness of their life that isn't as pretentious and arrogant as so many in the west excusing their bad manners and condescending as muh free speech.

I've always appreciated you and have seen you make distinctions that allow others the dignity that their presentation deserves. I'm glad that you're here, despite my pulling back because I think you are the perfect ingredient to keep some of the more arrogant condescending "truthers" accountable as many of them have changed the mood drastically in some ways. Not all bad, but I notice among some here that it comes across similar to letting the wolf into the chicken house.

I'm sorry this is so long winded, but this is really important to me and I thank you for indulging me in this.

One example I noticed really quick when I got here if I disagreed with another, the typical response ranged from apologetic to being open to exploring. There was no arrogance and in fact I found myself a little taken aback at first at such diplomacy and openness. Reminded me many times of a good natured inquisitive child who hasn't yet been jaded by contrasts and schemes. Yet I knew all to well they probably endured much harsher schemes than many of us have in the west.

I suspect your presence here will be the perfect ingredient to keeping those boundaries between the arrogance and the innocence in place.

I'm really glad you found your way here. I'll still be peeking in and curating, just not spending time posting and commenting as I am right now.
