Hi @drdave. I'm not sure what is happening here, but my original response to your comment appears "greyed out" in my comments list. Does this mean that I have been flagged or downvoted simply for expressing my opinion in a censorship-free social media platform? If so, this creates the chilling effect that will likely impact peoples interest in having any form of discourse that deviates from popular opinion.

Hi @crystalize ... Im not sure what you're seeing on your end - I have your original reply as the first one on my end. (beginning with "There is no question...") It doesn't look like you were flagged or down voted - maybe you just minimized it on the page... IDK.?.?.? Try clicking on the +/- on the right of the comment to see if it comes back to normal...
Please let me know what happens with that... I am a little bummed that I'm only able to give you (.07 / 100% upvote) IMHO that comment is worth SOOOO much more - as are all of the comments on this post!!! I wish I could do more... The interactions I have gotten from this post are the best yet here on Steemit - and I want to continue to elicit responses from people regardless of their political direction or if they agree or disagree.
As a side note: since posting this series on Trump, I have been un-followed and muted more than the whole rest of my time on the platform... In typical fashion people will flee from anything contradictory to their world view... To use a quote directly from the orange buffoon "SAD"...!!! I must be doing something right...
I am however working on something BIG for November that's going to give my/our perspective a little more "influence"... It amazes me that a place designed around truth inherent to it's basic principals (the mighty blockchain), is filled with so much blatantly false information - and no one is out there calling it out... That's an objective fact, not just my opinion - choose one or two posts out of the politics tag and do a genuine "unbiased fact check"... See for yourself where Steemit's biases are (politically speaking)
Thanks again for your input (sorry for the rant)... I look forward to seeing you in the comments of my next post... MDG...
Hi @drdave. Yeah, I checked three of my posts and saw they were greyed out but did not see any downvotes, so I have no idea what caused it. I'm fairly new here to Steemit, so still trying to figure it all out.
