Hey there

Someone is just OTW here to pick me up right  now but if you look at the post footer, it actually states it's a Pixabay image there.

Normally if you read my posts and or see my stuff, it is most often things I am involved with, pictures of me or events I have been at, that is also pretty clear.

I also share the info on Pixabay in my posts in a templated sentence in most of my posts so new people can hear about Pixabay and learn where they can find free images if  they need them for anything.

Indigo causes me a struggle at times to find in my personal picture archives etc.

You made it clear to me on my post to help Dian and in comments with others how very disappointed you are with me.  That was spun by a handful of people against me, and no matter how much explaining I did, some of you just lobbied against me and there was no turning back.  

But I am glad you are reading my posts.  And hope this clarifies something for you as far as my posts.  

I hope you are doing OK.

Barry, you said pixabay has free images for us to use under a different picture, you did not state the one you were using in the color challenge was from pixabay. Also, people complimented your professional photograph in the comments and you didn't correct them.

I'm not going to argue whether people were against you as far as that post. I can't speak for them, but I can speak for me, and I certainly wasn't. I was just hoping you would do the right thing. 

Ten posts a day Barry. I would say it's time to change the bottom of your signature wouldn't you agree? And maybe reconsider using people's autovotes in this way.

I always said I would listen to you, and I have done that.  

I also realize several people have not bothered with me, on here for a long time.   

So I do not bother with them or make efforts anymore either.   

*When I joined here, I thought this was a blogging platform, so that is what I am doing.*

If people want to vote for me, or interact with me, they can do so, as it is their voluntary right.

-- on this blogging platform.     

I also know like you mentioned today in  your first message people saw my post or sent it to you, etc etc......

What I also know is that once I know someone is not interested in my work, or me any more, I do not creep around their posts, not voting for them, taking a moment to check in or say hi or sending something I disagree with, to other people privately...... I kinda find it a little dramatic, maybe immature..... maybe creepy to some degree.  

There is honestly a lot of other stuff on this platform that needs dealing with, and can use the attention IMHO.   

*That said, I hope you have a good week and so do the other people reading my posts or these comments, who do not interact with me.*

People that take the time to get to know me or show interest in me, I share more of myself with, or what I am dealing with and the rest I don't bother them, and think the reciprocal end of that would be OK too.

Barry, you can dance around all of the relevant issues about your blog being brought to your attention and make very futile attempts to shame me or anyone else who has noticed what you're doing. It doesn't change facts.
Fact. You double posted *twice* a few days ago. Not just once, but *twice* within a matter of a few hours. And you did not correct either of them. Did not change the title to say "oops, repeat post" or something of that nature.. You just collected the money, *twice*..

Fact. You led people to believe that the photo for this challenge was your own.  Your comment about pixabay which occurs under the autumn photo does nothing to dispel that belief. It does not say "The Photo used in this post was from pixabay". Again, you were complimented for your professional photo, because it is unclear that this is not your photo,  and you did not correct them. 
Fact. You vote so little on other people that your voting power is currently at 100%

Have a look at your steemd  https://steemd.com/@barrydutton?page=2
Barry has only voted for Barry in pages. Do some scrolling. No amount of dodging can change facts Barry.

You went to someone's Twitter to give them a hard time about a vote on steemit. Now that *is* quite dramatic. And immature. You might have used that time to deal with something more important. Such as apologizing for your repeat posts and pledging the repeat money to a cause. Or updating the bottom of your posts to read: I will be posting ten blogs per day. I therefore have plenty of time to answer your comments.  IMHO 

Of *course* you would prefer that I not shed light on these things, which is how I am translating the last sentence of your response. The way you are handling this, is only making me wonder if I should expose this on a bigger level than just this one on one communication.  I am currently wrestling with whether leaving your blog and letting this go is the right thing to do. You are not making the choice that *you* would prefer that I make very easy here.  The one and only thing that is giving me pause, is a lingering sympathy for you.

Eventually though, even if I choose to let this be, it will all come out. Already it has become evident to a number of people, I'm sure it's just a matter of time before it becomes evident to the rest of your supporters.  Once again I was truly hoping you could simply choose to do the right thing here.
