> I have been out of the house all day, I need help dealing with the simple things now, with my injuries from the car running me over as most people know who actually deal with me or talk to me, or interact with me.

I don't see the relevance of this. It has nothing to do with what we are discussing and I can only presume it is another attempt to manipulate readers into giving you sympathy. 

> I state right in the post the liquid rewards would go to her, and even put her donation addresses for people to send things to if they want because frankly, every $5 or $10 counts no matter how it gets to someone in need.

If every dollar counts, why are you not giving her every dollar?

> I have no idea why as soon as 1 person here, who does not like me -- sowed the seeds of discord, and doubt, a bunch of other people decide to chime in, say awful things about me and make allegations etc etc.

My comment was nothing to do with Bernie's if that is what you are implying. I did not see his until after I began to scroll down after posting my own, and I did not attack you at all. I was very reasonable, this reply of yours so far is not.

> So because I go out of my way, to raise awareness of an issue, that like my post says - we COLLECTIVELY dropped the ball on, now I have to do whatever a couple of people say here, forcing their will upon me and sowing dissent, or else I am the BAD GUY here????

I think we have different definitions of "going out of my way." And I do not think such a phrase can even be used by someone who is getting paid. 

> I was run down by a car as many of you know and basically disabled and being screwed by the state, so I have been online more, stuck in the house, trying to find a way to not give up on life and still help others, like I was trying to do on this post here.

Honestly, most of what I have read so far up to this point is absolutely nothing to do with what we are supposed to be talking about. And again, you are attempting to make me, or more likely the other readers, feel guilty. Well, your attempted manipulations have just worked out rather badly for you. Because all this wheelchair victim shit has just reminded me of another fundraising post, that I believe it may have been aunt-deb done for YOU. I also remember withholding my vote after examining your wallet to find that you were not powering down, and therefore not truly as desperate as the shit suggested. I really ought to stop smoking weed, because if I had remembered that, I would not even have wasted time giving you the benefit of the doubt as I did in this instance. 

>  I have 900 blogs up and 18,000 comments,

Again, I don't see the relevance of this. I have made only about 3000 comments. Does that mean I am any less entitled to an opinion, or of any less value to this community than you? You may have made 900 posts, but almost every post I ever seen of yours was like, "Bitcoin gone up to $2761 in Canada!" and then of course again when it went up another 3 dollars. That isn't content. So if you have posted 900 of those, and if you have made 18,000 comments in such a short space of time, all I am getting from this comment of yours is that you are a spammer. 

> I thought stuff like this was why @ned and @dan / @dantheman created this ---- to lift one another up and help people, and not force anything on people and not censor people unless abuse was happening or bullying, or flat out lies. 

I think they made Steemit so they could make money. But, again, irrelevant. 

> Not sure why more people are not actively trying to help out humanity, but hey, I am not here to judge, ---- I will leave that to some of you that feel you are called to.

I would label this pomposity if this comment hadn't so clearly revealed your true colours to me. Now I know it's just bullshit. 

> I had no friends on this platform when I joined -- but now I have some here.

Boo fucking hoo. Again, why does this matter?

> I built up what I have with hard work and honesty and learning my way. I decided (again, like I said in my post!) -- we could do better and someone needed to step up and do the work to help her a bit more.

Hahha. *Honesty.* 

> She said she needed around $800 plus other expenses. Her post made $240. I am no math expert but I know that leaves her way short and likely too timid or upset or stressed to ask for help AGAIN, like I said already.

So you could have said, "Hey everyone, we dropped the ball on this one. Can you go and upvote Dian's latest posts." There is no logical reason that I can think of for you to attempt to keep the liquid rewards other than attempting to profit from a man's death and a family's bereavement. 

> If you people who now take issue with this, because I stepped in to help a friend, had done your jobs on here as Steemit Family --- you would have seen her post like I said, upvoted it, resteemed it, asked 1 or 2 whales to help on it, and she would be great! Because she asked me for help on that post for her family on my page, and I was glad to do it.

Do you have no shame at all. You are going to now label us the cunts to try and draw attention away from your own cuntish behaviour?  This is not going to work.

> But you didn't. So I decided to help. The best way I could -- and NOW a handful of you are forcing opinions on me, using your words to sow doubt about my character, vote down this post and my comments here, all harming Dian??????

Ironically, I was up there defending your character. I told people let's give him a chance because we may be getting this wrong. It is this message of yours that has shown me the truth.

>  Some of YOU have made it about me, --- costing our sister Dian likely some more grief as we are friends --- and you have cost her a solid bunch of payout that is going to her.

Honestly, I am feeling sicker and sicker the further into this message I get. I think your bullshit might fool the average idiot, but it is transparent as fuck to me. You can use this term of endearment, "sister" to try and convince others that you see Steemit as a huge family. But, if this was the case, you don't seize an opportunity to capitalize on your sister's suffering. Further more, her dad just died. If you truly had any level of empathy in you, you would know how insignificant someone questioning your honour would be to her right now. But then again, if you had any empathy, you wouldn't have done this in the first place.

> Which one of you is going to author the next post to help her out, since a handful of you here have likely cost her easily another $1000 or $1500 that was due to be transferred to her on payout in about 30 seconds from my wallet to hers in a week?

I will. And I will do it correctly. 

> Instead of wasting your time, sowing doubt and discord here --- you could have been using that time, to actively help this sister out --- asking 1 or 2 whales for help in chat. Messaging people on Twitter or Fedbook for help or spreading word, globally --- so people would read the post --- maybe join Steemit seeing a caring community. Maybe they see her LiteCoin or BTC or ETH donation addresses - and send her something.

I don't consider exposing swindlers to be a waste of time. Furthermore, I am helping our sister by making Steemit a more honest place. Also, you just sent a 12000 word reply or some shit. You could have been spending that time helping her, instead of attempting to justify a shitty decision. And failing miserably at it too.

> But no. You decide to attack me and make this about ME-- with your dark and leading and forceful comments leading others to believe the worst about me, and about Steemit --- and steal something beautiful from Dian, and our community..... AGAIN.

My dark and leading comments? Either you did not read them or this is an awfully ironic attempt to mislead readers and paint me as the villain here.

> I should have sat on the sidelines, knowing it was within my power here to to do good and go the extra mile for someone in need like nearly everyone here?

No one is asking you to go a mile. Only a foot upwards and to the right. Then click, and select your wallet. Then press power down, and give the woman the money that she her family fucking needs, obviously far more than you if you haven't had the need to power down even after getting another Steemian to raise money for you and your "troubles."

> I am glad for the people who are supporting this post, supporting and donating to Dian and thank them. As for the rest of you, I just think you should be ashamed of your behaviour and seeing who is going to do the next post to help her out, and hopefully get her $1000 since you cost her that in this post ---- and that is despite some huge whale votes here for the positive ---- and some huge whale votes I can see that actually downvoted this post besides Bernies several accounts.

I thank you sincerely for this bit of comedy. It has helped with the nausea. Also, I understand that probably sounds like I am being facetious, but I can assure you that I say this with the utmost sincerity.  This is perhaps the most disgusting piece of human behaviour that I have had the displeasure of witnessing on this platform, which is no small thing considering the rampant spamming, self-voting and vote-selling that is currently going on. For you to have the gall to tell me that I ought to be ashamed of myself is exactly the sort of bullshit I needed to provide me with a laugh to suppress the vomit that was about to come out of my mouth. Again, I am 100% serious, though i will admit the nausea is not entirely related to you. But my God you have made it worse.

> 27 - Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.

Is this a coincidental piece of irony, or is God telling you to stop being a cunt and go power down. Give her the fucking money, as it is within your power, and those upvotes came from people who wanted to help her. Not some greedy, dishonest, disingenuous arsehole.

Lol. I am afraid I can't even agree. Let my distaste for the manner in which he tried to justify not paying her the full amount get to me, and so it became more about insulting him than about helping her. 

If I had been more civil, perhaps I could have instead convinced him to give it to her. That shit is on me.

Nah man, its not. I believe the motives were to never give her 100% of the rewards in the first place.

I discussed some things, about me ---- because my comments represent a BODY of Work here, not just an isolated incident.   

----

#### YOU and 3-4 others made this post about ME.   You started it.  You manufactured the dark narrative.  You and 3-4 others now have caused this post to be downvoted  by several whales affecting the payout to Dian while wasting resources (time, which is finite) --- tying up some of us who prefer to spend out time  helping people and Steemit - the community.

----

I also said that earlier, on how a small faction of people made this about me, so I will repeat it, like i took the time to do 12-14 hours ago.   

*I am struggling with some life issues --- yet I make time daily to try and help people on here, not just focus on myself.*


But since you continue to make this about me......

- Proof is my post about Dian here where I took the time to raise the issue and level of awareness and I am glad to do it!!

- and  my overall body of work with my blogs and comments and engagement on my posts.

Look at the body of work, not 3-4 people here leading people astray with a false narrative.  

Ultimately, it is Dian who is paying the price for what you are choosing to do here.


You guys have focused on me.  I say it again.   Not the true spirit in which I wrote this post.  

- You DON'T know my heart.   You DON'T  know me.

#### None of  the small handful of you here turning this into a witchhunt :

--

- vote on my posts. 
- interact with me  on my blog
- interact with me on other blogs

Thus you don't know me and cannot speak to my character.   

My numbers and stats (posts, blogs) prove I am very active here.   

I am ~11th here out of ~305,000 accounts in posts meaning I am easy to find here, easy to interact with, because I post and comments a lot.   

It means I am easier to find and interact with here than roughly 99% of other Steemians -- so you have to work at NOT seeing my comments, interacting with me, and thus -- getting to know me.  

Most of you here who are critical of me have done an excellent job at 

- avoiding my comments online
- manufacturing the dark agenda here today
- not bothering to get to know me but cherry pick your spots to take a shot at someone busy and trying to help people here.
-  Don't read my blog or comments that are EVERY DAY POSITIVE and community focused.  

----

You just cannot - if you are making a balanced argument.  (full of spin and misdirection and manufactured narratives, yes, a handful of you here are excellent at that!)

#### My struggles and numbers I quoted on my life/blog since YOU GUYS made this about me matter because :

--

- You started talking about me

- You took the focus off Dian 

- My numbers = my interaction and body of work on Steemit and I did not buy my way in here -- I typed the comments, I work at engagement on my posts, and I am very busy on here -- the numbers in part PROVE that.

- I spend my time here trying to build and not tear down.  

----

### 3-4 of you guys made this about me, I say again.  

--

You guys.  Not me.   

A handful of you guys have manufactured a narrative and a  problem, where there WAS NONE --- and most of the comments reflect peace about my post --- not the same 3-4 people making comments and spinning things and turning this into a witch hunt.  

----

## You are removing your support for Dian when you DV this or remove a vote. That is the reality.

#### I hope everyone goes and donates directly to her, like many have done!!!  That is awesome!!!   That is why I put her donation addresses in my post..... and coached her in her post to do it also..... but I keep repeating that too, which you also conveniently leave out.  

--

Read my blog and look at my comments, instead of 2-4 people here inciting problems -- some of whom just don't like me.

*Not a handful of comments. Look at the body of work.*

Unbalanced statements from a handful of people like this manufacturing a problem, do not help Dian, Steemit, or the community here.

If I had put up a post saying 

"Please go to Dian's blog and support her" 

- people would have said there  was  no value in the post and you know it.   People would have said, it is a begging post.     

Look at some of the comments here in this post saying it --- and that is on a post from a person who is well established here!    

But go ahead, ignore those facts too, like everything else.  

And if I had done a post that way ---  it would have received no votes and would have seemed spammy.  And I think you know that too.  So again  with nearly everything you say - and some others here --- you are reaching using misleading statements and manufacturing a problem where there was none.  

The effort was better spent by myself making a post and using my stake in the platform, to make the effort and time, to draw up a decent post with the story to it, and try and help her thru a sincere post which it is.

Just because 3-5 of you claim I am  insincere, does not make it true.   

Further proof of this, is the number of votes this post has received and if you remove the same 3-4 people commenting over and over here on how bad I am ---- that removes ~30? comments ---- meaning the REST OF THE 295 COMMENTS ARE POSITIVE towards my post  here.  

The community has no issues with me --- one whale does and always has and there is proof of that on the blockchain.   Lots of comments and DV's on my posts and even on a post to welcome Itsmee.BossLady to the platform - where she was getting the rewards....... and the post was DV'd to basically 0 with 7 of their accts, on a $100 post 2  mths ago.  

- Record of Negative Bias like I said, is easy to find here.  

Then 3-4 others have  chimed in and piled on ----- not the community...... 3-5 of you period.  

#### This was never about a reward for me, like  you and 3-4 others here have MANUFACTURED about me.

----

## What I did was follow the precedent that has been set in the community --- that 50/50 posts have  some or all the liquid rewards go to the person or cause the post is about or the one in need.  It was honestly that simple.

That's all this is about, period, full stop, I never considered anything but that, since that is the precedent.

----

3-4 people here, who manufacture a witch hunt, or problems, do not = the community voice or opinion and they do not represent the condition of my heart or intentions to help someone.

You are the one also who has made leading  statements time after time, with you words and spin.

#### You outright lied:

--

 in this post saying I never even resteemed Dian's post --- which is that since you can see it right in my feed from about 12 or 13  days ago --- yet you go and cherry pick posts, for things that suit your narrative to paint me as the bad guy and stir up dissent.

Further proof of THAT spin is picking a few comments that suit your *case* against me in SOME of the comments between Dian and myself.   

Convenient for you and a handful of others here manufacturing this dark agenda rather than finding the good in this, that likely 1000 other  people have found here.   

You make it look like your research is SO exhaustive and I am SO bad.    

Hardly.  

#### You conveniently missed this post by Dian the last few days on her page.....
--

 where she thanks the community and me, by name, and is very grateful. 

####  In that post she also clearly states in the REPLIES that there is a $$ shortfall.    

--

Yet the witchhunt continues, so did you intentionally leave this out on your manufactured agenda here causing bad feelings?????  With your exhaustive research skills, to *protect* the community????  Or Dian?    


https://steemit.com/thank-you/@dianargenti/my-deepest-and-sincerely-thanks-to-everyone

----

How much time  and positive  energy here, is being wasted again which we cannot get back, cannot help others with, and which we cannot get back while a small handful of people try to force their opinions and solutions on something that was not broken until they said it waas????

I have no interest in reading another novel. I have made up my mind about you and I don't want to waste anymore time here. I have far more important things to worry about currently.

I hope somewhere in this comment of yours there is a pledge to pay her the STEEM. If there is not, then I don't understand how you can even believe you have an argument here. For the last time, goodbye.
