Your theory is highly plausible. It would explain why the majority of these witnesses (some of whom are vegan, slash, non-aggression-principled folks too - @jerrybanfield @teamsteem etc) are not opposed to this type of abuse of the flag feature - I had @themarkymark, (this links to his admission of doing so) small flag as he calls it, an unrelated post a few days ago, merely because I questioned one of his bots that are supposed to be fighting a war against spam.
Highly non-aggressive actions: as teamsteem said it: as long as they don't do anything violent or was it aggressive I can't remember his exact choice of words.
You were flagged with a tiny flag because you flagged multiple comments with zero information regarding it.

I read the posts and according to my information, your bot comment was unrelated to the post. I felt it was spam. This means, I did not abuse the flag feature.
Your statement here is not saying that you disagreed with my post, felt I don't deserve the earnings, or that I was scamming, phishing or spreading hate-speech. These are reasons for using the flag. This means that your flagging of my post constituted an abuse of the flag feature.
Late edit: To borrow from mob parlance, "Capisce?"
Also, small has become tiny now - well, to be precise, it was SBD 0.42 - hardly tiny or small in my book, considering I can only upvote myself to SBD0.02

Those are the 'stated examples' but as many have drilled into me it's your steem power to use as you please. You have made 10-15? comments about getting a tiny flag. I get 50+ of them a day for identifying and reporting spammers, imagine the spam if I followed suit?
For a $20 post, it was tiny. If I wanted to flag you I could have made it $0.

You still claim you have a right to abuse the flag features and to spam posts. I disagree. When i find spam comments i will exercise my right to flag. You will continue to abuse the flag by using it to remove rewards from unrelated posts. I get it. You're unreasonable a bully. We all get it.
Your flag was gigantic. It wasn't a 20 sbd post. But go ahead. Make my day.
I will continue to exercise my rights and you will continue to abuse your power.
