Thanks for the advise. I'll try that. There were hardly any rewards (and now, thanks to this SOB there won't be any at all), so that's not a big deal. This freak appears to be looking for and voting down everything I post regardless of the contents (including comments to other posts). If I can keep posting and commenting without fear that this vengeful jerk votes me down to a negative reputation - that's sure worth losing a few satoshi in steem rewards.

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)

A brief chuckle, or booing or clapping can be an expression of your general agreement or disagreement.
However, when noise is generated that indiscriminately silences (CENSORS) another's free speech, it is a violation of the other person's free speech ("your freedom to swing your arms ends at my face").
To attempt to argue that booing is more important (to protect) than actual speech is absurd. One person can boo as long as the other person still has a chance to speak (equal time principle).
A reasonable (civil) person would simply leave the room (or click the "mute button") when they've decided to reject a person's viewpoint wholesale.
Do you also believe "disturbing the peace" (midnight road construction as performance art for example) is sacrosanct free speech?

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.

Are you familiar with the saying, "your freedom to swing your arms ends at my face"? *
A primary function of Freedom Of Speech is to protect the people's right to criticize their government.
Now imagine, that a government (or one of its individual agents) broadcast loud booing OVER the soundtrack of any media it found critical.
This would be de facto censorship, not free speech.

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.
