Be honest here. How is the payout amount of this post not abuse? Small players get kicked around, even when they have a good quality blog post. And this post has an upvote value of almost 100 USD????? Oh and I see that the fanatic downvoters like to upvote you, so there is that.
Must be nice to have build up your account with bots, then lock everyone out from using them while you can get good curation rewards because of the amount of Steem you gathered.
But please don't call this 'ethical'.
Wow, I see what you did here. Someone gives a critical remark to you and IMMEDIATELY downvote. Why? You can't take any criticism? This is exactly what I'm talking about. Did I downvote you here? No, I did not.
I only downvoted it because it was a duplicate comment.
Looks like there might be a bug on steemit.com right now (I know they did an update a few hours ago) that is causing comments to look like they didn't post, but they did. So it might have been a result of that why you posted the same comment as I am seeing it happening to me as well but I didn't post it twice.
Yes, that's what happened. Sorry no hard feelings.
Looks like editing comments also creates a duplicate comment, I contacted Steemit to look into it. That is the only reason I downvoted your second comment.
See, here is why I don't like automated votes, up or down.

And you flagged him.
SMH
Go around trolling, libeling, and spamming, you are bound to get flagged.
So, having once offended, even quality, dare I say even humble, comments by that user should be flagged? Were you not autoflagging him, you would not be likely to have flagged that comment, and since you have automated your opinion, you have not potentiated engagement and disable rapprochement.
You may be fine with that. Upon reflection, you may not be. Can't speak for you, but you are now the kinda guy that flags people that say nice things about you despite having been flagged hard by you for a long time. He's clearly showing integrity despite his hard feelings. Maybe you don't have a moral bone in your body, but your avatar did, and that's not something he'd have done.
A comment like that in these circumstances deserves a personal reply, not an autoflag. Society is people, not bots. You're not a bot. Don't let a bot act for you and determine your socialization.
Or, do you. I reckon you're better than that, but you will decide.
