Thanks so much, dear Steve! I also love Steemit and this kind of bad behaviour doesn't affect my love for this community, because I know the most part of steemians is made by kind and honest people who use their freedom here in a kind and honest way. I decided to write this post because I thought about the new users who could think that, even if they wrote an original content in a correct/honest/right way, everyone can downvote it in a strong way without no reason, simply for fun. The downvote is a way to contrast bad behaviour here (plagiarists, scammers, haters and other things, the list is long and I also use the downvote to contrast them), but it can't be a way to spent time just for fun, because the risk is to lose good users and to have a lot of fake accounts.
I'm here since a lot of time and so I feel myself strong in front of this kind of abusers, but I want to say to the newbies that it could happens, but there are a lot of steemians here that don't accept this kind of abuse ^_^
A big hugs to you and yours, Steve!

I've had some big downvotes recently from another nasty person, but the support I have had from the community counteracts that. We have to reassure people that the bad guys a small minority, but some do have a lot of SP. Unfortunately they do not seem keen to power down for now. If we can get more people active and investing in Steem then their influence will be reduced.
