Yes, saw that, I just don't like seeing downvotes next to my posts, especially if they did not deserve them.

Absolutely agreed. Thanks for the support, and sorry that it meant you get those flags from this arsehole. I hope some time the system will be tweaked to mitigate against "revenge flagging"

Yes, he's done that to me, as well - followed me to other posts and downvoted my comments there. Bizarre. I'm pretty new to Steemit - is there something I should be doing to protect my reputation? Some steps I should be taking?

I've been flagged multiple times by these

arseholes

who revenge flag.
Good thing is that their votes carry very less weight; bad thing is that mine ain't any better.
