In this case I don't believe you, that you evaluated all posts of @alexvan manually. When you saw he had written new posts you automatically downvoted them (by pressing the downvote button manually). If you are honest you don't like him (probably there was anything in Splinterlands Discord) and therefore decided to punish him. I wonder how you reply if you are really honest to yourself concerning that. And no: I don't say these posts were great, it's just that that was not the reason for your downvotes.

I simply disagree with your criticism and that is totally within my right.

Sure, but it is also totally my right to answer honestly if you ask me what I think you did wrong. In my opionion it is wrong not to recognize the valid points of my criticism. Seems we have to agree to disagree. We see different reasons for the decline of HIVE. (By the way, HIVE is still a useful, censorship-free place to save own content - with "decline" I simply mean that's a lousy financial investment.)
