I was downvoted for the wrong reasons.

There are bad reasons to downvote. Just like there are bad reasons to post or complain or whatever. Just because someone can do something, doesn't mean it's right, or that you lose the right to complain.

Honestly downvote harassment is 100x worse than people complaining about it.

Steem is trying to do stakeholder governance, but having stake doesn't give you the right to be an ass, or undermine the company. Imagine if shareholders used their stake in a corporation to waste executive time, troll or otherwise undermine the company. Or as more commonly happens here try to pocket the company's budget. It would be unacceptable and potentially criminal.
