By the way, the possibility to downvote was included in STEEM right from the beginning, exactly to get after people who show your behaviour. As I quoted in the latest curangel post from the whitepaper:

Through the addition of negative voting it is possible for many smaller stakeholders to nullify
the voting power of collusive groups or large, defecting stakeholders.

This is part of the idea of STEEM! If you don't like it, why did you supposedly invest so much money into it?
You try to take away that right from smaller users by threatening them with retaliation downvotes, and wonder why people get angry at you?
