Yes there is a flat earther in Steemit here that has a fair bit of Steempower that could flatten my posts. Given that I've been the target already of an "Electric Universe" person (possibly because of my profile in amateur astronomy) I worry a bit about that.

Ugh, while I've been fortunate enough to not run into any members of the flat earth cult, those electric universe people are insufferable (ran into them after posting a review of an Einstein documentary on another site). The only thing, that doesn't involve a complete overhaul of the voting system, I can think of would be to decrease the effect of an individual negative vote.

Encouragingly Ned pulled his vote, so all is not lost. The friction is over EOS being developed by Dan as a competitor to the STEEM/STEEMIT platform, so understandably tensions are high.

Ah, that's understandable then.
