Hey GA, I agree with you on the greasy, dumb grin cap wearing cringing feel. And maybe the fact that he is a witness makes it worse then I understand, but isn't everyone being a bit harsh and ganging up on a guy that really just was offering a service for a price? He was honest in pitching his service. Told you not to try it first. Is steemit not a site where people are here BECAUSE they can make money? Isn't this a tad hypocritical? The only reason I followed him was because he was posting on how hard it is to get signed up. I was having friends waiting weeks to get approved. I think a nerd is getting picked on for no reason here, and someone has to defend this guy. I respect your view so I hope you reply. I could be totally wrong here but lets not get a man killed for making a buck.

I respect your opinion, I was just sharing mine. I opened a second account a month ago for free. I feel he uses his stature just to prey on ppl and he got caught so you're seeing him trying to act apologetic. Imagine the feeling a new user would have getting ripped and paying for a service that's free or at the most $6? Pretending to help the site is a guise to pocket more money for JB. Being a witness to many is a privalege but imo it's just a way to rake in more for this guy. He won't get my vote ever, I save them for ppl I feel deserve it. A few people rightfully called him out and saved newer users from getting preyed on, if not he'd still be offering an overpaid service and damaging Steemit's reputation..he's a big face here and should respect the position he has. I don't feel bad for him but I would feel bad if he were able to take advantage of others.. like he tried to. He said he was sorry, I have to take that at face value but I still won't be following him because I wasn't before. There's so many others that deserve those votes, I personally seen huge accounts actually helping others and not just pretending to to make more $. Those are the people I want to associate with but to each their own.

Totally cool. I agree he is weaselly.I wasn't trying to defend his actions,I was trying to break up a lynching IMO. I'd have respect for him if he stood his ground. I think it could have been handled differently on all sides. I just thought it was overkill for something that has been identified as a problem and he provided his own solution. If the idea was so bad free market would kill it. And the guy did offer other services to try before you used his. The witness thing is a huge tangle that I'm glad not to be a part of. I just couldn't stand by a watch a guy get lynched for a miscalculation or trying to provide a service where there was no misleading or misinformation and he didn't hurt anyone. Maybe misguided and goofy but not deserving of banishment. So I tried to make folks think before joining in. I don't have any friends on steem, and I don't have anything invested in it, beside the time I'd be reading,researching on the net. I just hope guys like you that are cool and fun, and on here approaching fulltime, don't get caught up in any negative crap that is just a huge time waste. Last minute I spend on this topic.

I appreciate what you're trying to do. You've always been good to me and if u called me a friend i'd be grateful. I've seen you doing good on here and you have been supportive of me in the past so there's no hard feelings. Sticking up for Banfield is just a testament to your good qualities and compassion. Hope I still see you around!
