So tonight I had the pleasure of being called Out As A Flaggot by @skeptic Mass Flaggot Post along with a few other Steemians. Inc @stellabelle , @neil-rothbard , @sigmajin , @sokoloffa , @artem-sokoloff , @justiceforall , @cathynsons , @lawofattraction , @geny , @cameron-here , @steemingnate and @hajevoy60
This is my reply on that post.
Thanks for the mention @skeptic , to be fair I have flagged very few posts in my 5 months on Steemit. A couple by accident because of the page layout on my phone and I believe I rectified all those I became aware of , others that are blatant attacks on others and some blatant plagiarism or extream xxx pornography which I doubt is their own work and not attributed. I would like to know any user that has left Steemit because of my actions as I have done my best to encourage many people to join and look forward to them sharing their knowledge and stories. I see you have an issue of seeing flagging a post as censorship., maybe it is but Steemit is a community that uses upvoted to support content it sees as valuable and flags to push down on content which the reader find unacceptable, both of which are personal choice and your calling me out is as much censorship is as me flagging something I find disagreeable.
As for my luck, I assure you that is what it is. I try to enter as many times as possible and it is a 50/50 chance in most cases.
Thank you for making Steemit a more diverse place.
Do you think @skeptic is right?
I joined Steemit in June but didn't nothing until early August. Since then, I have been an acitive member of Steemit , I think I've been a good steemian , I read and upvoted lots of posts, followed over 1000 accounts , made over 1300 comments , resteemed many posts , invited many people to the ecosystem And yes I have Flagged a few posts too.
The one that seems to upset @skeptic is a post by an obviously related account that had the goal of posting xxx porn and aggressively pushing a porn agenda (under the guise of free speech)in the Steemit timeline with no nsfw warning or care for the community. This is a diverse community with all manner of views , values and ages and we do have a growing number of young people on here.
Am I really a flaggot ? Or do I have a vote in not just what I support here but what I personally find unacceptable?

50/50 post : I pledge that the US$ equivalent of the STEEM given as reward on this post will be paid to KIVA to add to my lending pool and multiply it many times by being reloaned over in the coming years.
