I think he'd feel flattered. just credit the image to @ethical-ai or that link. Also, since that article @crypto-p has publicly apologized and says he'll change voting behaior.

Good point on @crypto-p. I believe some of these self made whales are totally clueless about how they are harming the community. They see this as a quick way to make a buck and don't understand (because they haven't taken time to learn) the dynamics.
Not all - I'm sure there's a lot of whales (and minnows who would do the same, if they had the opportunity) who know what they're doing and don't care. They definitely need to be schooled !

Good comment. I believe the whales should earn. But destroying their habitat is not good for the or anyone. Upvoted.

I guess crypto-p changed his mind as he upvoted his post today.

So is it inappropriate to flag these types of abuses (if they are decided to be abuses?). Or is it that there is always a fear of being flagged back for this sort of thing?

more than anything else here I feel that flag wars are something that will bring down the whole platform...nobody want's to come into a war zone...worse still is people flee them

Yeah. Some of it is pretty good though. You want the community to respond to abuse and not just let it happen. It's a touch business.

fear and paranoia is real. I know this too. You're doing well already by thinking and conveying what's actually going on.

being a responsive community is essential. One look at Matt Trainer.....we know how well our steemit immune system worked: like magic!

That and info. Light is a great disinfectant. If we can publicly show abusers we can publicly stop abusers.

@solar If you're a minnow you'll lose the flag war. Unfortunately we can't do too much aside from alerting the whales who support us to abusive self upvoters. We can try to point it out in comments, and not follow those people - but in the scheme of things, we also depend on the whales who remember what it was like to be a minnow (maybe not on here, but in life !) to use their power to protect the community as a whole.

getting in a flag war is not desirable.
