    Yeah, I know how this might sound... And I would obviously feel terrible if my reputation and my rewards where taken away. I'm not arguing against that part.

    However, I do believe that bernie is working towards a better place. Even though I might not agree with exactly how he is doing it.

    Most of the flags are due to disagreement on rewards. At least from my understanding. Someone like bernie could easily kill my account on Steemit within seconds. Most people could do that.

    Sure, it's sad but it's also how the system works. Are we to blame bernie for how the system works too, just like people are blaming him for his flags?

    I had mine killed it's on the blockchain if you scroll down to the flags and the one greyed out post not saved..thank you to the ones who bitchslapped the person who did that (who gets their SP from apparently some source who doesn't care how people weaponize it, it's on the block chain :) )
    that being said, Bernie is an enigma, and can plant a flag in me any day

    No, but the system should be blamed, and I don't see anybody doing that.

    NObody should be able to have their account nuked because somebody with more clout decides to do so on a whim, and/or because they don't like the content (like bernie nuking the gal with the sick daughter because it seems he thinks it's impossible for vaccinations to cause harm, ever).

    That's the death of steemit. People aren't going to mass adopt when they find out their hard work/time/effort/passion can be wiped out, with no protections nor recourse. It's fun for people with big accounts to swing their dicks around, but for serious content builders looking at investing into steemit....seeing that is pretty close to a deal killer.

    I'm still hanging around, but I just can't justify seriously investing time/effort, when somebody can not like what I say and wipe that all out. Yeah, yeah, I can then spend the equivalent of a full time job trying to get others with clout to help me out and get my rep/earnings back etc, but that's not something most people are going to be willing to do, and again, no mass adoption, no increase in steem value.

      Well, even though I do agree with you to some extent, or even most of what you've said, I believe that bernie's recent actions and posts are his way to blame the system. In a way.

      However, instead of making posts like "The system is bad. Fix it!", he prefers to go head-to-head with other dolphins/whales, by flagging content they upvote for instance.

      I have no idea if this is true or not, so you should definitely not take my word for it. And it might be way more than that too... But I personally believe, it's due to things like this bernie is doing what he's been doing.

      I can't speak for him or his actions, I just usually enjoy the show because he's literally the only one doing something about something. And like I've said, I don't agree with each thing he has said or done, and I would obviously be sad if my Steemit account where to be killed too.

      However, somewhere in all of this fuzz, I still believe bernie is a good guy working for a better place.
