I am new to this site, and enjoying half the content
(the other half is plagiarism or drama) ...I like the good half :-) and am optimistic.

The point is I found you because the rebuttal post got so much publicity. I like your content, so maybe it is working out in the end.

However, I am sure there are some changes that can be made. Maybe the simple act of leaving a reason would have a positive impact, but I am skeptical. I think in the end it is going to be a balance of community reaction like you are seeing now. In other words the down-vote intent backfired.

I am still figuring this system out, and I see a lot of issues that I am sure most are aware of, so I will leave it here. I enjoyed the post and encourage you to keep on steeming! --3D
