I spent quite a considerable amount of time trying to explain again and again why downvoting was necessary and you never, not once acknowledged the point and continued with "flagging is censorship,we don't need flagging" and I explained it simply with the dilemma of how exactly do you deal with self voting abuse if there's no flagging, exactly as the theme is here, and you ended up replying with memes and slandering insinuations about my character. I see you still contend that it's censorship even though you have no proof and no logical argument to make that would conclude censorship exists or is possible even on a decentralized, transparent block chain, your meme is exemplary of the nonsense of calling curation the act of removing or censoring, that is impossible on a platform which is essentially censorship PROOF. You don't care for using the correct terms and rely on waving your arms and shouting "censorship" as if you could even muster an argument on that false premise of curation is censorship. What I want to know is what is your goal in this most hilarious endeavor of utmost nonsense? Have you reconsidered the necessity of flagging, or it's still not ok for people to voice their opinions of content if it's not a praise or an asskissing compliment, because flags hurt, the internet people have harmed and removed my well deserved votes, but nobody deserves flags? Or "this is bullshit" and equally "booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, that's not censorship, you don't even know the difference between removing content and curating content, you whiner".

I find you difficult to interact with - last time I ended up thinking you were a real dickhead.
Yesterday I did a post and a guy who has earned bugger all on Steemit but who has put $37 000 of his own money to his wallet flagged my post and all my comments.
That is censorship, and luckily an actual whale unflagged it. Now that post has over 100 comments.
My suggestion to fix this is to make downvotes equal to the average upvote value for that post. That makes it very hard to censor posts.
As I said to you last time, I disagree with your opinion and I could easily flag your comment. I wouldn't do that but I could.
There are people all over Steemit doing exactly that.
Our key disagreement is that you only see censorship as a binary on/off thing. Flagging a post can mean the difference between 20 views and 200 views.
The censorship of flagging is never absolute, but it does nearly the same job
We disagree, both on opinion and presentation. I like to use memes and pictures, and think you do way too much typing. Here I'm communicating in your style, because I think this is important and the people reading these posts like to read long replies (I think).
Last time the discussion was on one of my posts, so the comments were in my style - pictures!
You seem to freak out about that and want to do dozens of comments. Disagreement is OK, so chill out...
I'm glad I got to read your interaction ahead of time with that user, was replying with a dumb gif to something the person said and realized I was going to be just as bad contributing just a "word salad" as he or she put it, deleted the reply and just letting it go. I know there are plenty of Steemit users with differences of opinions that can still discuss a matter, then I see others that are trying to start arguments and troll. Hard to notice it sometimes.
I wish you nothing but positivity and hope behind the screen you are feeling no anxiety over these issues, be well.
Thank you, I appreciate that, it was said/typed genuinely.
