RE: Trust: The Crux of COVID & Bitcoin.

@edicted is worth a great deal. He's an excellent part of Hive and I'm always happy to talk with him. That's why I was following him. I appreciate his insight and way of thinking. This post has a particular issue that I don't think should be rewarded - if I had a huge stake, I'd probably worry more about percentages. If it was making a big impact on his earnings, I'd remove it for sure - heck, even if the dv just bugs him, I'll remove it. It also won't impact his reputation
For me, that downvote says "foxon is on record as seeing this and giving it a thumbs down". It's not a thumbs down on @edicted. Not going through all his posts or comments or anything. The issue we've been discussing has been growing on his posts more lately. Not calling for mass downvoting or a boycott on him or anything like that 😄
If it is unsportsmanlike, do feel free to take me to school sir. It's nothing bothering me if someone finds me a bit annoying, but I don't want to be a jerk
In my opinion, downvotes are for adjusting rewards with the goal of disincentivizing spam and other abuse.. Expression of disagreement through open and honest discourse precludes the need of using them. For me it harkens back to a more web 2.0 mindset. Clearly you were both engaged in healthy debate, so I felt their use was completely unnecessary within that context.
Of course, if that is some understood signaling mechanism between you, my opinion doesn't really apply. Nevertheless, to the casual onlooker, a healthy exchange with downvotes applied in disagreement looks a bit petty. This is how I interpreted it, and I normally bring it up when I see it, because I love to see healthy debate. It's something I want to foster here.
This is probably accurate. Removed the downvote. The record from comments is clear about what I'm not supporting from the post which makes the dv redundant anyway.
Thank you for your time and effort
I appreciate your consideration, and you're welcome!
