@freezepeach please consider reviewing this case.
It appears to be a gross misunderstanding.
What Marky "thinks" has no basis in reality. If you look back through my posts, I do not think you will find anywhere that I called @buildawhale a ped0. In fact, my only reference to "Pedofile" was in my quote that @themerkymark referred to: i.e.
"Unfortunately because of a few scumbags like the following members, Steemit's days as a viable forum are quickly coming to an end, because it has essentially turned into nothing more than a cesspool of fraud and corruption, controlled by childish members, porn lovers, peadophiles, and other such low-life garbage."
And the offending word has been removed from the post.
They need to work it out between themselves, misunderstanding or not. There has to be a logical solution to this.
You would hope.
That is because you made a post that was designed to provoke a negative negative response from him!
If you don't want the flags don't make posts like that, its simple
Bye!
I think the point here is that if simple name-calling is a "crime" then all name-calling should be downvoted.
And on the other hand, if there "are-no-rules" and "might-makes-right", then JUST SAY THAT and stop pretending downvotes are "justified".
While I tend to agree with you on this particular point, I do think it's important to maintain at least some tacit pretense of Uniform Standards of Evidence (USOE) regarding what constitutes a "violation".
More specifically they're denying calling morky and or boldawall SPECIFICALLY offensive names.
It wasn't presented as a specific accusation of a specific crime. It was a general insult.
For example, when Jesus threw the money-changers out of the temple, he called them "a den of thieves", generally.
He didn't single any specific person out and charge them with a specific, literal, actual, legal crime.
I'm pretty sure that was a below minimum payout vote.
