There is a significant amount of debate going on about the downvote feature, that became a flag. I'd invite you to to read some of the debate if it interests you. https://steemit.com/steem/@dwinblood/voting-the-ups-the-downs-the-smiles-the-frowns Essentially, the upvote downvote relies on game theory to even out the rewards pool. The current purpose of the flag, may well return to what it was orginally, a simple downvote.
I am well aware of the debate however none of this has actually been implemented as such it remains an attack and I take it as such. Care to discuss this on https://www.steemspeak.com
I don't see much being achieved by moving the conversation to another platform. I understand you wish to take offense. That is your right to do as a free thinking person. I wish you well in your endeavor.
Very well.
