I think most people can handle an occasional DV, even if it ticks them off a little. The real problem comes up when everything they post or comment is DV'd for 100% of their rewards forever. I hope that never happens to you. It really changes how you view 'having fun' on Hive. I don't think it will though, because most people DV'ing DV people that are less reasonable and more likely to take it badly and ragequit. That doesn't sound like anything you'd do, nor are you feebly staked and liable to be able to be zeroed out forever, so, while you might occasionally get a DV, it's not likely to be a significant financial stressor, much harm to your reputation, and you aren't likely to give anyone continuing dedication to DV'ing you by making disparaging remarks about them.
Thanks!
