In taking a look at his profile he seems to think this way.

At least that is how I was taking the following when I looked at it yesterday.   Though it could mean something completely innocuous.   There is so little to that you kind of need to know what he is saying.

I suspected he was basically saying "*Do you want to be ignored by me, or preferred by me?*" 

I suspect a lot of people want to be preferred by him due to the promise of rewards.   I am not calling him a BAD ACTOR.  I am only calling out this particular action.

I also saw him in a post earlier talking about using bots to vote no longer being worth doing since the last HF but he did specifically indicate bots to randomly vote.   The randomness makes it quite different from someone bot voting the same people all of the time.

Though as to bots... I see bot activity all over the place.  I'd say it is nowhere as bad as steemit and that is a good thing.

I actually was fine with him calling it out.  I do know why someone might bot up vote my posts if they are not going to be interacting a lot.  I do try to put some effort and thought into what I write so there is a good chance they'd get a favorable return on their investment for how they chose to use their vote.

I'd prefer if that wasn't the reason someone chose to up vote my content though.  I'd prefer it to be for the content itself.

I couldn't see any reason someone would try to hide what I said other than it was someone on the list he pointed out saying "*Hey, I don't know this person*" and speculating on some ideas.

It might have reduced the IMPACT of his post.  Maybe he didn't consider someone answering his charges as important.  I don't know.

Yet I thought it was pretty distasteful.
