My votes were already public.

I don't vote for anything I don't view. I don't always look at the comments. I usually just throw all points at it, but reserve them when it's serious and inappropriate to be "fun" or when it's not insightful yet kinda funny.

My own posts I only vote fun if they are not serious and/or if others have voted it fun for points.

I used to be much more selective but 1) I got lazy and 2) points don't mean shit other than potential eyes. Everyone want's their shit seen, so that's how the stupid game is played. MetaVote could revolutionize things. I may post that idea next week.

    I can't even remember the last time I looked at preferences. The last time I looked at all of them must have been 2.3 to 2.5 years ago, shortly after I joined.

    If they're already anonymous, who cares about their "privacy"?

    It's odd that comments voted fore aren't there. IMO, that is even more telling.

    I wouldn't call myself a "fierce warrior", though I like the compliment. I would say that I'm just not intimidated. Call it fearless courage, call it stupid drama, call it what you want.

    I wouldn't call public votes heroic either. Steemit had public voting. It's not that novel IMO, and being open is obviously good, but it's not directly fighting tyranny. I'd say there are many other ways to be heroic truth-seeking warriors, and some here do that too.
