There's no ideal solution and I am sorry for those who feel they have been attacked for something they didn't do. It seems the rancho vote will not go away and we have not control over how it gets used/abused. I was just trying to say that losing a vote you might not normally have had is no reason to quit. It might help if people said why they downvoted.

It's a step forward that rancho is at least voting more than one account.
No solution will ever be perfect, but AS's has been the the best suggestion so far. I believe a trial was actually done in the early days of Steem and it looked promising when it came to distributing the coin among others more. I hadn't thought before reading you post that it could help in this situation too, though.
Yes, a note about why a dv was done would certainly help.
Recently I was trying to calm someone who regularly earns decent reward for their posts and had a rancho vote (not a regular occurrence there and this was only one of three) trimmed, so they didn't really need to kick up the fuss they did. UVM usually only gets a few dollars per post, however, so I would have said a trim wasn't really necessary in her case and can see her point more.
As I said, though, it would be preferable not to have to trim in this way in the first place. Cap the mv amount and the rewards have to be spread further anyway.
