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.

The posts that double posted during the DDOS issues or ?? the issues at the end of this 3 week IT plagued issue here --- DOES have a comment by me, on the double posting, in fact, it was the FIRST comment  on the blockchain registered on one of those blogs, when I realized it happened.

Not  that I owe anyone who ignores my blog for about 3 mths after they and a handful of people decide on ONE issue, to  write me off completely while the usual Steemit politics plays out.....

But what I was doing during  the last week of those issues on here when you full well know there were double posting issues, no posting issues, votes were not being logged or registered was this:

- Attempt to make post.   
- Post does not go thru.
- Check blockchain on other tab.
- Nope, post/reply STILL did not go thru.
- (Repeat that usually / pattern 3-5x as you know LOL, we  all had to find a way to deal with this) 
** - Pull up 2 other tabs, paste same post into window, click submit / attempt all same  steps as above.

----

- Leave windows up / tabs up with the post (draft) on it, keep retrying... etc

- leave house, live life, deal with non Steemit life issues, etc.  
- Return home, try to submit post (again)  etc.

- At some point they go thru.

Now listen, with all the complaining about my posts  (blogs, since this is a blogging platform) ---- the fact you say I post too much, (subjective) -- and only TWO of those had double posts, after all the checking I did, efforts I made, wasted time doing this, while none of these IT issues are the Steemit user's fault..... like.... how much more do I need to do to be reasonable, here?

For TWO friggin posts to have a problem, after 21 days or so of issues on here we had to deal with, that is really a problem now??????

And Like I said, I DID declare on my blog on at least one of the dbl posts, that is what happened.

How much detail do I need to give everyone?

"  You?

" The handful of people that have a problem with me but never talk to me about it, or have just walked away from me?

I've made tons of efforts here all over like I said, some of you walked away and wrote me off pretty quickly and snap judged me, tell me how I should be doing things (you several times 3 mths ago, twice or 3x again today)  

I would be a lot more inclined to listen to people I am in relationship with, or who have a difference of opinion with, but can maintain a reasonable level of discourse.   

Not people who walk away during a tough political and $$ situation on here, do not get involved, play both sides, or pick the convenient side when a handful of people decide on a witch hunt or cherry pick a post or reply once or twice, or a label they do not like on a post, and overlook everything else that is good and decent, and or then force their opinions and judgements on me.  

You and a handful of people have acted this way, I did not  force you and I did not walk away or other things, once ONE issue came up, or another small issue.  

I choose to walk away from unbalanced people and decisions, stay away, and unless something really needs to be done, I let  things  ride and carry on.

I also got PM's the last few mths from people saying they were glad I stood  my ground and TRIED to reason with some of you, and used the same  approach others do with things.

Some of those same people also stated  they won't say anything or do anything publicly because of the collusive  pack behaviour here at times, with a  handful of whales, or groups that just stick together -- fear of the pack as you can see.

Like I said -- LOTS of things can use some time here, in this community apart from cherry picking on someone you do not like, or this handful of people do not like.

I know some of you don't like  me, so I do not try to change your minds, would  you?

Most people won't change their minds, once they walk away or make their mind up on an issue.  Why do I need to even try,  knowing this?

-- would you?   would the other people who don't  like  me  do that?

Nope -- because like  you, this handful of people are one issue folk:
####   Oh man, that person did one or 2 things I do not like!!    I am walking away, I am calling them names, I am withdrawing complete support from their other projects now and maybe getting others involved!!!!!!

----

I just think if I had walked away from you, or this handful of other people, corrosive or collusive backhanded behaviour, politics, drama, etc etc for 2, 3 or 5 mths, I would not be in much of a position to force my opinion or JUDGEMENT on any of you or cherry pick an issue or 2 you can work at.   

And I haven't.    And I won't.

6 months ago I would have said expose the cunt. But, that's all we have lately. Torches shined onto the ugliest parts of us. I know it may be difficult, but let it go. Wait till you next see an instance of exemplary human behaviour, and then post about that instead. Nothing you can do or say will change this man's actions, but sharing his actions with others may teach them how to also be an arsehole.
