Thank you for that clarification and encouragement, but I agree with @richardfyates. Any downvote is a bummer to those of us who are on the lower end of SP holdings. I just got two downvotes on a haiku for goodness sake. A haiku! It feels like Steem has let loose swarms of gnats.

I have also seen a huge downvote wipe out the earnings on an excellent post. I fear that now. I do not like carrying that fear around..

Respectfully, I submit my displeasure with downvotes.
