nice post

always love to watch your videos.. don't care what others say.. just do what you will to do...

Fun can also be a mind space
It is clear you can find this place
The messages you say help people
Who ignore the trending page steeple

If it is not fun you are correct you can run
Or you can twist it in your mind and make it fun
You seem like the type silver linings you find
Keep your thoughts coming and unleash your mind

What you say has value beyond money
Not only are you wise, you are also funny
Those that watch you may vote for you now
As we gain power you'll be a cash cow

Please don't stop doing what you do
Just find mental discomfort and this eschew
Bring us your thought continue your thing
We'll happily help you buy your future bling

You're one of my favorite people on here, because you have the right attitude about how to make this site awesome.  "If it's not fun, I'm out."  "Time > Money." I can tell you live your life the same way and that deserves a hell yea!

Craig we need what you are doing.   Don't leave people like me alone out here trying to spread the word.   Haters are gonna hate.    Keep on doing your thing and ignore them.   Or give some really civil and well thought out response to them. :)

I hope you reconsider your stance on not doing any more Steem reports.

EDIT:   went back to your <a ref=" https://steemit.com/steem/@craig-grant/steem-blockchain-report-battle-of-the-steemit-whales-by-craig-grant-august-10-2016"> post </a> of yesterday to read the interaction between you and @tuck-fheman.  The issue of right and wrong aside, It seems like simply a difference in personalities, view-point, and style that have you both talking past each other.   Interestingly just after that I read a post out today called <a ref="https://steemit.com/steemit/@fatmanc1970/what-type-of-steemian-are-you-and-why"> "what type of steemian are you and why" </a> that I believed goes a long way to explain why the conflict in communication.

I hope you will reconsider allowing one person to influence your bogging of ideas regarding the various aspects as Steem as in the "Steem Report".  I enjoy your report.   Though I myself do not always agree, it is good to have other points of view.  Especially when there are derived from a deep sense of instinct as are yours.

Already following you bro. @craig-grant

Just do you @craig-grant... don't let the these little things dim your light. You're why I even came to Steemit.  First heard of it on your Youtube when I was considering getting into Bitcoin (at this late stage). Your thoughts are your own, your opinions are your own.  Just have fun. One Love.

Freedom of speech is essential, you'll be missed!!

Better to be a trendsetter?!?!

Damn Craig, sorry to hear. Can you still do it on youtube? You are my google on crypto. 😥 Whales vote should be equal to everyones vote.  No one should be above anyone.

I think you did the smart thing by disengaging with this person.  I'm sure you don't need to get sucked into a never ending vortex of twisted logic, which is exactly what you would have gotten.  

So good for you for staying above the fray.  And I hope you'll continue to do what you do.   Looking forward to the next flow.  Peace.

I like how you're playing the victim after I simply questioned your "attacking" of two other people with your misinformation. You attacked two people with false accusations. I simply questioned the authenticity of your attack and your claims that they were harming Steem.

You seem to be upset with the fact that someone questions your false claims. It's easy to call something "entertainment" after the fact (once your false information is questioned), but calling it entertainment does not justify your unwarranted attacks on those two people by portraying your video as a "Steem Report" (no mention of entertainment) and then seemingly slandering two individuals, who have done far more than you for Steemit, as being "Bitcoiners" who are "anti-Steem".

IMHO, your "Steem Report" was actually what was "anti-Steem" and only serves to hurt the entire platform by expressing others actions falsely in an attempt to garner upvotes. 

### Please show me where I "attacked" you. I only **stated my opinions** and defended the two individuals you attacked by expressing the facts of the situation. How is that an attack on you?

If you're so "self-confident" what does my opinion even matter and why are you feeling the need to make a video with ad hominem attacks at "tuck-fheman" (Fuck The Man)? Where did all of that self-confidence go?

### Just pretend I don't exist. 

Wasn't that your advice to me? But how can I pretend a person who suddenly wants to attack prominent Steem users on video doesn't exist? That would be a disservice to the people I've made friends with here on Steem and my fellow investors.

Your attempts to capitalize on imaginary situations that you "manifest" in your brain as your reality are harmful to the platform as a whole, whether you call it "entertainment" or what it actually leans towards, "slander". 

I simply pointed out that you were making false accusations and stating things that were based upon no facts whatsoever, **and you even agreed that your video contained no factual information**. 

### So again, how can you possibly see my questioning of your video as an "attack" considering the fact that you agree that you were not providing any factual information and it was only "entertainment", you have so much self-confidence and you don't even care if I respect you or not?

These are simply questions. If you cannot handle someone questioning the fact that you're providing false information in something you call a "Steem Report", perhaps it is best you call it a "Steem Entertainment Non-Factual Report". Then no one would bother questioning the false information you're providing. 

The problem arises when you present your videos as some sort of factual information piece and title it "Steem Report". If the fact that you are smiling is supposed to be an indication that everything that will flow from your mouth during the video is false, please provide a disclaimer at the beginning of the video stating this so it is clear to future investors/users that you're simply making things up for "entertainment" purposes and that nothing you will say will be based upon factual information.

### That's all I'm asking. 

It's not an attack; it's questioning the veracity of your "Steem Report" while it's being presented as factual ... until someone questions it. Turning my questioning into an "attack" to generate sympathy from the herd is a stretch. 

It's a classic (yet lame) tactic that works on most people who remain asleep or stoned out of their minds, but any discerning person can see right through it. 

### Just be real, that's all I'm asking.

Either present your "Steem Report" for what you say it is (after the fact) "entertainment" or stop spreading FUDrama and hurting the Steem platform by making it appear that there is some big issue that does not exist, which will likely scare people off from participating in the platform. It's that simple. 

### Please try to Keep It Real or state up front that it's all "entertainment" and no factual information is being provided to potential investors or users of the Steem platform.

And again, I'm not attacking you. I just don't agree with the way you present your crypto-reporting videos. If you presented them with some factual information that was helpful to a community I would get behind you and promote your channel. I'm simply suggesting that if you want to be taken seriously, present factual information. 

If you want to clown all day on video, please state up front that you're clowning. This will prevent any misunderstandings from others and they will know up front that you're not actually slandering individuals or platforms in the crypto-ecosystem for no apparent reason, you're just clowning for "entertainment" value.
