Dear Ellie Goulding,
about 2 weeks ago I stumbled upon a post written by this beautiful girl on steemit.com, Tamara ( @tamara1989 ). She's ukrainian, mother of a cute little girl and a passionate painter. She lived previously in Donetsk until her house got bombed during the war, so she had to flee with her family. But I hope she is safe now...
she posted:
You wanna I make YOU portrait? Write in the comments, send your photos by choosing one and make a portrait! FREEE!!!
Just for fun I thought I would give this girl a chance, especially because she offered her talent for free. And since I am a huge fan of you I did not even had to think twice about who she should paint on a portrait for me. So I asked her to paint this picture of you, don't ask why, I just love it and in that very moment it helped me to express my scepticism.
Two weeks were gone and @tamara1989 had a pretty hard time because she was (accidentally?) downvoted or flagged without any reason by a clumsy whale called @dantheman (Dan if you read this please consider to remove your flag). Now you may ask what the heck is getting flagged and how should this be done by a sea creature... Well I cannot explain this to you in short but if you getting interested in how Steem works you can start your journey here. (hint: Steemit.com is free but you can earn money for posting)
Back to Topic...
Two days ago I contacted Tamara again and asked about the portrait and she promised to start working on it immediately. Then finally a couple of hours ago she posted her work here. I think she did a really great job and I like it so much that I want her to send it to me (I surely will find an adequate place for it in my flat).
I have not yet asked her but I believe until now Tamara had no idea of who she was actually painting on this portrait (@tamara1989 If you read this please let us know if you were aware of who is actually on your picture).
I just wanted to share this story with you and my fellow Steemians because the circumstances of how this beautiful art came into existence just cannot be coincidence. :D

Wow! thank you for the post about me. Send me an email. I'm a little busy now paint a portrait to order. So I didn't see that you wrote me;)
please can you tell me why you downvoted my post
@vato
He is a jerk, downvote and flag him back.
i do not understand he is doing the opposite of what he is talking about in this post.
i do not want to make it a fight or personal i want first to know what is the problem then i can act according to his answer.
i do not want to make the same thing i am asking to change in steemit.

He also downvoted my post and then because of this my post disappears because of his downvote (and the steem power he has).
Steem sucks. I'm out of here
https://steemit.com/steemit/@mikelmunich/wtf-steem-you-are-censoring-my-post-just-because-of-one-downvote
flag and downvote him back
I have no chance against him, because I don't have big voting power. I has 100 times more steem power than I have.
If I downvote his posting, he loose maybe 1 cent, if he downvote my posting, my posting will probably blocked from steemit and nobody can see it anymore.
Steem development should fix that, but they don't care.
I flagged him and his rating dropped 10 points. If more people fight back his power will diminish. Don't let him get away with it.
To recover the downvote from @vato give a Reply on my Post:
