"You must have done something questionable to get downvoted by any of those accounts."

Obviously you have not fully read what I wrote! There are many many Steemit members with the same or similar complaints. The forums are filled with such complaints.

We (and I think I speak for many Steemit members) have done absolutely nothing wrong (questionable). That is the whole point! Steemit has become infested with a group of long-time members who think that they own the forums, and will down-vote anyone who writes anything that they do not agree with. Once they target a user, they will then go back and down-vote almost everything from that user. They are nothing more than a bunch of scumbags, who if allowed to remain, will no doubt be the cause of Steemit's demise.
