Bernie has every right to vote but he doesn't have the right to create 60 fake robot accounts and destroy someone's earnings out of spite. Bernie is actually raping the rewards pool by offering votes through fake accounts. Everyone that votes for Haejin is real and has decided his information has value.

Bernie has the ability to vote(flag) and create as many bots as he like. But he doesn't have the right to do most of the things he is doing as they are clear violations of NAP.
Those who are not the first violators of the NAP has the right to use whatever force that doesn't go beyond neutralizing and/or preventing the first aggression.
These are the principles I stand by.
Non-Aggression Principle
I was under the impression that anyone with a sufficiently large stake could create any arbitrary number of accounts. Those are the rules.
Want to change the rules? Maybe we should. I'm not sure how, since everything runs from stake. I have 6 accounts, and why shouldn't I? They vote how I tell them, after all they are me!
Bernie seems to do the same, although, yes I agree, in a offensive and frustrating manner. But philosophically I am having trouble escaping that it is his right to do that here on this platform, because this platform was made that way.
Can we change the rules? YES! I think there have been 19 Hard Forks so far.
But how would you change it? If not to allow for the free use of one's stake, then I'm not sure you will be left with a plaform that is worth having.
Looking forward to your ideas!
Right. Because one jackass running around with 60 accounts dictating not just positivity, but NEGATIVITY toward other users in a manner that is crippling is a great use of the platform. It's great to agree with something in principle, but in practice it can be a whole 'nother ball of wax. 19 hard forks already you say? Yeaaaah, I'll pass.
For me, and for many other users, we would literally never have come to or use this site if it weren't for the content Haejin provides. This childish drama and bickering has me rather put off this awful platform (and yes, the reddit/craigslist interface is depressingly dull). If Haejin announced tomorrow he was moving elsewhere, I would gladly leave and never look back. So all these children having a pissing match would do well to get things sorted if they would like to have anything left of Steemit 12 months from now. They can hard fork until the sun goes down, but that's not going to save it.
