This is a good time to share this poem with everyone:
I saw them tearing a building down. A team of men in my hometown. With a heave and a ho and a yes yes yell, they swung a beam and a sidewall fell.
And I said to the foreman, "Are these men skilled?" "Like the ones you'd use if you had to build?"
And he laughed and said, "Oh no, indeed... the most common labor is all I need... for I can destroy in a day or two what takes a builder ten years to do."
So I thought to myself as I went on my way...
Which one of these roles am I willing to play?
Am I one who is tearing down as I carelessly make my way around? Or am I one who builds with care, in order to make the world a little better... because I was there?

No one likes seeing their country destroyed. No one likes seeing their culture destroyed. No one likes seeing that which they've worked for destroyed.
This principle also applies to Voat.
Each of us is either a builder or a destroyer.
Choose your side, because I've chosen mine. Voat will support those who build.
Interpret this post however you'd like, because at it's root it is truth, but I'm posting this for those of us that need a reminder from time to time.

Putt is the man. He runs this site, and he is very wise.
How can I putt it? To promote positive change without being negative is the surest way forward, and Putt has consistently represented this.
Never forget love.

suck harder. even after funding, you still don't know the face, voice, or person behind the username. you don't know you're not on a government owned and operated honeypot. you do know though that you're surrounded by shills on the dod/government/taxpayer payroll. on this site.

Oh come on, you're such a punk. How about you be less negative. We'd all be better off that way. The power of positivity, it's an amazing thing!
Putt probably doesn't fit the typical voater profile, but through positivity and wisdom, I know that he's solidly in our camp. You on the other hand.... You know, I find that shills are the fastest to call others shills, to so discord and breed paranoia. You fit that profile- so knock it off if you are for real.
