There's absolutely nothing wrong...

I agree. The downvoter in this case is actually a pretty small fish (12,236.461 steempower).

I'm just trying to help "stop the bleeding" so to speak.

Grow some thicker skin, nothing quite as pathetic as someone needing "moral support" because someone on the internet chose to express themselves by downvoting.

Hope you find the
O no, I'm hurt by what others think of what I post club and get all your support.

My understanding is that downvotes are not to be used to "virtue signal" simple differences of opinion. That's what the "mute" button is for.

Downvoting is free-speech in the exact same way that shouting down a speaker in public is free-speech.

It is free speech, you seem to think that the public speaker is entitled to only certain kind of expression/ response from the audience.

Bottom line is that freedom of expression ain't for everyone, especially those f#&k that would dare shout.

This is the first time I've actually spoken to someone who openly advocates for SJW tactics.

Yeah, I'm advocating for certain tactics by ridiculing the thought that free speech doesn't include booing, which you don't seem interested in the least about, instead you're busy taking this conversation about freedom of speech (especially the speech you hate) and turning it into something completely idiotic, like what you think about me.

Booing is not speech. A cow can Moo, but that is not speech.

(IFF) you are advocating for SJW tactics (aka, booing) (THEN) you are advocating for SJW tactics.

(IFF) you are NOT advocating for SJW tactics (aka, booing) (THEN) please simply explain what you ARE advocating for.

IFF you think Booing is not Freedom of Expression than you Think that Booing is not Freedom of Expression. You Think That Someone Expressing themselves by Shouting is not protected speech, it should be stifled, censored and suppressed, and at least it should be ridiculed as Idiotic Moo Cow behavior.

IFF you think booing is Freedom of Expression then You're An Idiot Moo Cow Equivalent.

Ultimately.
Moooo.

(if you didn't get it, you make a value judgement about what is and isn't Freedom of Expression)

Booing is speech. Holding a poster is speech, it is regardless of what you think includes speech, much wiser and infinitely sharper minds than you have concluded this a long time ago that freedom of expression is inherent in infinite number of modes and ways, not simply spoken words. Duh.

And hopefully we can boost you out of your 8 rep!

Downvoters with lower rep than you have no effect on your rep, so if we can get you above the default of 25, then most of the small-fry downvotes won't cause you any problems.
