RE: HiveWatcher's Politics of Not Being Political
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
To trivialise my work and limit it solely to maintaining the database while falsely claiming that someone else has done all proactive abuse-fighting work is beyond disrespectful.
Well, good thing I didn't do that, eh?
I've contended all along that hw's performs a necessary function.
But, don't kid yourself, @logic, your bedside manner has left something to be desired all along.
You've mellowed a bit, but your emotional, reactionary way of dealing with folks has been a source of friction and negative public comment.
Hw's reputation, deserved or not, is what it is, hw's does not get to dictate it.
You may want to find a less abrasive manner in dealing with those of us that have to vote to support you IF you care to continue here.
Or don't, I'm not really affected either way.
Provide me with evidence of an abrasive manner, emotional or reactionary attitude by Hivewatchers when dealing with appellants in Discord over the past 2 years (I have just made a few channels public for you to look for evidence)
The way I personally speak with some Hiveians using my personal account has nothing to do with Hivewatchers communication.
As far as I remember, an abrasive attitude is perpetual among lots of people in HW Discord towards appellants. Sometimes just plain aggressive. I have been resisting moving some to timeout. That includes you, livinguktaiwan, galen, etc.
Reputations don't work like that, logic.
We decide what we think of you, it doesn't have to match your reality.
I stated that you were doing much better, and in fact vote the proposal after not voting it for years.
I think you perform valuable work for the hive, but my speaking truth to power doesn't allow me much hp to put behind my voice.
Maybe I should've brownnosed harder.
Maybe I should've done latte art, travel posts, and makeup tutorials, but that isn't really my function in life.
I'd certainly have more hp if I had played along with the curators' bs games rather than point out things that have led us to where we are at.
You, on the other hand, have a gulf to bridge with the restivus that apparently 2 years of doing better has failed to bridge.
You will not emotionally appeal your way out of this hole that your earlier behaviors have dug for you.
You would do better to cultivate those of us that still support what hw's has been doing despite your abrasive ways, not alienate us further.
Not that folks that abuse have any comfort coming, but because the crowd rejects your delivery of otherwise legitimate actions.
This book contains much helpful information on how to deal with crowds.
