Exactly my point here David, you are spot on brother.   And people know it.

Flags also damage people's account reputations.

This is a great example here of what is not right and God forbid you say anything here to question a handful of opinions.  

It really does make and prove my point, in short order.

@barrydutton, @davidnx, yeah, agreed, people downvote as a way to disagree.... and I joined Steemit June 2017 and got downvoted when I said anarchism and bad parenting or discipline practices can be counterproductive at times maybe for some people and stuff............ and I may not like Jihadism and I might not like vaccines or mercury.... and so on...
.
After getting my posts flagged like ten times in a row during my first week here in June 2017, I started censoring myself...... because I am afraid of getting flagged if I say like I like Trump for example.... we can become a place of the left..... of zombies........
.
My goal now is to not mess with whales or bears until I can improve my reputation a bit more first..... and that seems o be what we have here I guess.....
