No, BS ist just some grumpy guy who behaves like any schoolyard bully. He managed to attract some followers who believe in his mission and threatens everyone with an opposing point of view with flags - which unfortunately is quite successful, since he and his downvote-bots can do lots of damage.
His reputation is already -20 or so, which is totally justified, but reputation has no meaning inside the system. I would like to see the reputation have an effect on the voting power and in rare cases where people really have a negative reputation reducing the voting power to zero, so that they can't do harm - but he still has bots and many fake accounts - so we are talking about a full time bully here...

Are we talking about the BS who ran for president in the US a couple years ago? He is doing all this, or someone using his name?
Also, I read something in the Welcome files when I joined that said that someone with less reputation than you can downvote you, but it will have no effect on your reputation. Only someone with a higher rep than you can harm your reputation with their downvotes. I'll see if I can find the exact article to link to later.
Yes, most likely someone using his name and therefore being fake...
Right, it won't hurt your reputation, but if you would earn 100$ with let's say 50 upvotes from people and a single vote from a bully is worth 100$, he can reduce your earning to zero with one click - even if his reputation in in the negative...
