@abusereports: Reports of People Being Abused

So there have been some very interesting stories going around regarding @berniesanders on steemit. I'm not going to elaborate on that, but instead I'm going to address a big elephant in the room. The elephant is known as @abusereports:

I became really curious about a mighty powerful account.

Let's see who created this account:

If you didn't see it, then please don't blink:

@abusereports wrote its first post)
(Which was upvoted instantly by @berniesanders:

Why does this bother me?

Well @berniesanders uses this account to downvote some abuse stuff I guess, but also to downvote his critics. For example the crazy guy that wrote a piece about @haejin and @berniesanders working for the NSA:

Here is a screenshot of the post and of the reputation assigned to the user by steemplus:

After this post he got put onto @abusereports's "naughty list", very mature of @berniesanders.
Now every single thing this user post get's downvoted into obvlivion and he was burned from a 30something reputation down to 3. Some of the latest articles the user wrote were legitamate steemhunt posts that got approved by the steemhunt team.

Let's look at some examples of this:

This comment was downvoted:

At first it looks like the post was downvoted, but it was actually this comment that was downvoted:

See how @iflagtrash commented on the comment by @transparencybot, in the comment he was promoting @nextgencrypto as a witness. If you don't know this already, @nextgencrypto is also @berniesanders.

Here is the txid:

This is the link to the comment on a legit post:

This is what was actually downvoted:

@transparencybot is actually a very cool bot, but someone like @berniesanders obviously does not approve about the awareness that @transparencybot is spreading.

I think it would be interesting if someone did an analysis of all the users on the @abusereports "naughtly list" and see how many of those users are on other blacklists on steem, because I'm pretty sure many of the "naughty list" are just victims of @berniesanders being a giant bully.

Which is actually something I've written on before, but the results weren't exactly good for me.
I really just don't care though, so @berniesanders do what you want. I don't care about my reputation on steem, you are nothing different to email spammers.
