You keep talking about 'sides' as if there are only two options. I can agree with some things a person does without wanting to work with them. I am on the side of making Steemit a good, fair place.

If I'm just a 'face in a mob' then he took a lot of time to work out how much to flag me and to look up who else was commenting. I'd expect him to be relaxing on his yacht in Acapulco or something ;)

You will have to talk to Bernie about what he did to you. It's really nothing to do with me. I've given you votes for engaging in real discussion. I very rarely flag.

H overestimates his popularity. His almost 30k followers don't manage to give much in the way of comments and 99% of his income is from rancho, who only really votes for him. I've no idea if his content is good, but it does seem like he's just out to milk Steemit for all he can get, without giving anything back. That's the main reason people don't like him and flagging is a legitimate way to reduce rewards, according to the popup.
