Hm, that is heavy! And really over-reactive from my perspective.
I mean, he probably flagged others as well on that topic and he is very well aware that his flagging is lingering heavily on others' account.
So from my perspective quite irresponsible and egoic to impose such draconic "punishment" over other users. After all, it is not a personal attack against him.
If we flagged anything we don't agree on, Steemit would nosedive quickly.
Thanks for sharing, came quite as a surprise such message!
I agree, yes, he has been flagging a variety of accounts - with a similar behaviour pattern involved.
