We have different views on flagging. I see them as downvotes, which is consistent with how the appear on the blockchain. It's the fault of Steemit Inc. for showing them as flags in the UI many moons ago.
I totally get it that it's contentious, I've seen the so-called flag wars. Flagging only leads to more flagging when people are juvenile. But this guy is free to make his own mind up and listen to whomever he wishes, hopefully himself.
I appreciate you taking the time to debate this with me in this sometimes bristling exchange of opinion.
Haha! I appreciate you lightening it up. I think you're right though, I think long ago they should have made something separate for downvotes and flags.
