RE: Imad Wasim retires from international cricket

Well, I thank you for taking both of our points of view into consideration, and also for adding your own reasoning in a most cordial way. This is how I prefer an exchange of ideas: with mutual respect and understanding. Indeed, I am well aware that differences in opinions exist, and as such I do respect both of your opinions on this matter.

In line with this statement, my contention with @hivewatcher's decision was that there is a subjective value that we're assigning to this type of content (i.e. opinions), and thus that's out of their scope to vote upon, as it's supposed to be purely objective.

At any rate, since the HSBI project is yours I will respect how you choose to have it used. I'll be making a post tonight incorporating these changes, effective immediately. Just let me know which other users or content (if any) you would prefer not receiving HSBI and we'll make sure to work with you.

Monetization of content that was creating by others, without obtaining explicit permission from the creator or adding substantial effort of ones own, such as extensive quotation or fair use doctrine, is plagiarism, illegal in most jurisdictions, and not supported by Hive SBI.

This is a wonderful point, and it definitely shifted my perspective. Now, my opinion would still stand as long as sourcing is clearly available, but this further incentivizes me to place this to a community vote. I will, of course, include this essential quote so that there's symmetry of information.

I do hope that, in the same way that I respected your project's intentions, @hivewatcher will permit the community vote to complete over the course of 1 week so that we may collectively decide upon the curation of such content (if any). I'm more than willing to accept differences of opinion and to work with people with whom I may disagree, but I also expect mutual respect - and I expect to hold myself to such a standard as well.
