It is important that you care what other think of you while on Steemit, unless they are below you, then fuck 'em.
Downvotes from users with a lower reputation score than you will not hurt your score.

I do agree with the first half of your statement @funbobby51 but not so much with the second half. Even though others might have a lower reputation number and therefore they can't really hurt your Reputation here on Steemit, there are a lot more users with lower Reps. than with higher reps and that will probably be the case for a long time on Steemit. This will be the user and following base most of us will have, Steemians with lower reps. than most of us so it behooves us to remain on good terms with everyone on Steemit as much as possible. Even when disagreeing, one can disagree amicably and without rancor.
I copy and pasted the second part from the steemit.com FAQs. ;) they continue:
If your post or comment that was downvoted still received more upvotes than downvotes (weighted by SP), then the net effect on your reputation score will still be positive.on the other hand, you never know when someone with a lower score has a huge wallet and vote you are missing out on.
Yup yup... imagine being in the first 1 million user group of Facebook which today has somewhere near 1 Billion users. Maybe Steemit doesn't fare anywhere near as good as Facepuke but even it comes up 75% shy of Reddit.com that is still some 75-100 Million users putting most of us in elite category here on Steemit.
Steemit has two barriers one is getting people to sign up and the other is retention, right now those are serious issues. The question is, when will Steemit.com stop being beta?
