MLM Businesses resemble pyramid schemes , and in the case of Herbal life has absolutely destroyed the lives of many people at the bottom of the scheme (There are countless documentaries about the stuff).
Quite honestly, Whales on Steemit, like @pfunk, have been around longer, have had more experience with Steemit and want the community to strive and make leaps and bounds forward (it's in their financial and personal interests) and hence you have absolutely no right to tell him that there's "Nothing wrong", if he sees something potentially damaging to the community he has every right to, for lack of a better phrase; "Rep Fuck the shit out of you" such that no one will see the toxicity and hence the community can move forward.
Nevertheless I hope you learn from your mistake and stop spamming or 'Abusing' as you put it, people's wallets with crap they don't want/need.
