Hi @hauptmann, Thank you for taking the time to respond. Unfortunately, it seems I haven't been able to get my point across to you. I started and ended by pointing out that I feel things like this case are not always black or white wanting to say that they shoud be approached with care because it is way to easy to provoke reactions that might have real life consequences. My downvote had nothing to do with your opinion. In fact, we might share the same opinion on the broader topic. We defenitaly do when it comes to free speach. But when someone responds to (politically sensitive) news events I define good content as content that adheres to basic journalistic principles like clearly differentiating your own opinion, precieved facts and actual facts and putting in effort to stay as objective as possible. It is my opinion that you did not do this and therefore I felt that the reward is not justified. To downvote is just as legitimate as to upvote. I try to vote based on my perception of the content quality although I am sure that I too fail to be impartial from time to time. Btw. comments are also considered content (in fact they count as posts). Evaluating viewer's contributions is what curator rewards are for and you are free to downvote my comments (hopefully due to quality rather than opinion). That's why I put in effort like researching information when I respond to content ... Have a good one.
