I am understand why the neighbor who reported shameful
He expected potential retaliation - downvotes - and didn't want that.
It reminded me of the past - I didn't (in fact I couldn't) downvote some crap as I feared that I would get downvoted as retaliation.
And even when I get downvoted sometimes for ridiculous reasons like not Englisho I chose not to fight back as the counterparty had too much steem power compared to what I have.
Yes, I admit that I was a coward who just waited these downvote bullies
spamself vote milking did NOT downvote
