And as I mentioned, the vote selling Army or a member thereof down voted this post proving my aforementioned assertions.

This post was not inflammatory, contained no hate speech or otherwise offensive material, it simply ran contrary to their profit machine and served to enlighten Steemians as to how their practices, in the end, do nothing but damage to the platform.

That said I am not a fan of abusive voting practices in any regards, nor have I aligned myself with any particular faction though I may find some commonality in the beliefs and actions of some users irrespective of other practices they may have that I do not agree with.

To that end, a down vote/flag here was basically a pointless dick move.

Regardless I always end up better for it in the end and the posts usually do better when someone shows their ass and attacks me for no particular reason.

Communities hate bullies, in fact people in general tend to dislike them.

Also if you are going to flag/down vote at least man up and have the testicular fortitude to leave a comment as opposed to lurking in the shadows like some trench coat wearing exhibitionist awaiting the chance to lunge out and flash his wiener.

Comment, I challenge you to debate. I challenge you to treat this like a community and work out our problems through productive conversation. I have the requisite grey matter between my ears to go point/counter point with any and all takers.
