Yeah just doing it now for a while to counter the "bad downvotes", if people deemed my content overrewarded without ulterior motives I wouldn't mind it, but this clearly comes from a retaliation standpoint because I downvoted him and his community account for ill-gained votes from vote buying and other schemes.

I'm hoping it stops eventually so I can go back focusing on voting people in my feeds, etc, but not the end of the world if he doesn't. Something I expected people who behave like that to downvotes to eventually end up doing.
