Not sure what I have to come to my defense for. Yes, I do like @jrcornel's work, but I don't want to support someone who supports Steem. That's all there is to it. It's just like if there was an artist or actor whose work I like but who supports something or does something that I am against, then I may choose not to support them and buy their work.

I stated in my original reply that I don't personally think he should be downvoted, but I don't see anything wrong with choosing not to support someone who supports an organization that stole millions of dollars from people I am close to (among other things).
