# An open letter to Hivedotone

Today I saw that you blocked me, amongst other Ethereum community builders and workers.
Your feed talks about "A small, but agressive group launched a campaign of harassment" - excuse me? does speaking my mind advocating for a person you ostracized from Twitter equals harassment?

First of all, it is absolutely offensive to diminish REAL victims of harassment by claiming that what has been said in public tweets, which was simply pointing out to your double morals and fake promises, is some form of harassment. You have no idea what harassment feels like.

As a former victim of workplace psychological harassment, this enfuriates me. You have absolutely no idea how painful this is. How deep the mental scars are carved into your mind. How long it takes to overcome this.

Secondly, your reversed victim strategy is a well known move, especially for women. First you gaslighted Isabella, then, after this brought anger to people, you became the victim. [Here is a link to help you understand this particular behavior.](https://dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/defineDARVO.html)

Of course, be smart and try to get the gist of it. I'm not saying everything applies to you.

In third place, I would like to remind you, that you came to us. That you asked for feedback. [For context click here.](https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/request-for-comment-media-influence-score-for-signalling/991/15). Then you ignored such feedback, gaslighted us, exposed a person - even though we can agree that she did went a bit overboard with her PMs- and tried to get her workplace to take action and a conference. Her problem was with you. Why do you have to be such a coward to ask others (her employers, devcon) to punish her?

After all of this, I have to infer that your tone-deaf and coward moves are nothing but evil. Do whatever you wanna do with our data. But don't ask for feedback. And most importantly, don't ever play the victim. Because you are not.

Sincerely, accusations of harassment to my person are out of place. I don't know which other people you blocked with this pathetic misconception, but what's about me is all public, nothing can be seen as harassment.

I could easily get you banned from the forums that you asked for feedback from. I could easily as well take you to court over the fallacies you said about my person (because even if you did not name me, you blocked me and then claimed that you blocked your harassers). But I won't because now, more than ever, I know you will never understand this community.

If you fail to understand freedom of speech and opinion DO NOT EQUAL harassment, then please, remain in your echo chamber. I'm not interested in your opinions anymore. And I seriously doubt anybody in this community would. I'm certain that most people here can understand how wide is the difference between those two behaviors, and how much it hurts to be a victim of REAL harassment. You're just a dude behind a computer trying hard to be accepted. Acceptance does not come from trying to burn people at the stake with false claims.

Seriously, don't even.
