I have heard many state what you did but people dont actually advocate that.

It seems many who complain of being supposedly censored are advocating for all stake to be equal. It's like they don't grasp how a stake based system works.

What I think is going on is people do not want to face up to psychological impact that abuse (even flags) can have on individuals, the platform and Steem.

I wouldn't use the word abuse so much as a flexing of power when a disagreement is there. I do agree with you that to various degrees it can impact a person. dependent on what attachments their illusions have binded to themselves. But that is a personal magnetism that they play the central part in holding.

The wider the wealth gap in societies, the more mental and physical health declines.

I agree, but not in regards to a social platform where the draw for many seems to be crumbs that may or may not one day hold some value. I know if I found a place disagreeable, it would find its way quickly into my never again list.

It seems to me several of those who find themselves (not all of course) on the receiving end of these flags usually are posting very controversial topics, often again in an attacking way towards people in general who may hold the opposing view. You can't just post here throwing verbal rocks around and think those who fit the description and hold more power might not throw something back.

Thank you for a well thought out comment. I do want to clarify that there have been several I follow who have been recipients of just such tactics, as well as at times my interactions with them on their posts. I understand that it can suck.
