Thank you for this!
I posted a comment against @Berniesanders and he and a group of other users flagged my post down to 0. I felt that I was being ganged up on and my freedom of expression was suppressed.
I saved a list of those voters and I think we should publish their names and blacklist them. If we all flag them back down, it will send a strong message that we will not tolerate bullying on here or an attempt at suppressing freedom of expression.
It was extremely hypocritical of them because they cry out for original content, yet flag people who have been working daily to make SteemIt a respectable platform.
