Honestly... just leave it. Look at the massive war you have gotten yourself into, it's not worth the bother. I have been flagged by @blocktrades for over-rewarded posts. I bought him an ice-cream in Bangkok. Does that entitle me to no flags for life?

I know why he did it, it was Rancho, just like your post.. except with you it was Traf as well. You did well on it, it doesn't matter. It is what it is here.

You should know HIVE is a political animal by now, and the more noise you make the more heat will come down on you. These guys are not bad and not out to get you.

Give yourself a self-vote on your post if it makes you feel better but don't stress about it.
