Sure, I knew my rep would get destroyed if I spoke out against him and flagged him. We also know that the strong can beat down those who are not as strong, like he is doing here.
Anarchy allows him to abuse his power like he is. Nothing else. My reputation being lowered could be like my life haha.
But your actual reputation is positively affected as perceived by others. In Reality which is not bound by the rule that says a single individual with a large stake can affect your reputation more than many others with lower stake. It is a rule within the code for Steemit which sets those exact parameters for that to happen.
If the code weren't there, you would have no "reputation" score at all.
