Whelp.

It happened again. I've been flagged twice now. Once it was a 'driveby' by someone lashing out at one of my posts for no reason other than because he had been done wrong sometime in the past. I suppose he wanted to make everyone else suffer. Kind of like reparations I guess.

This last time I had the temerity to disagree with someone's political belief so he flagged my comment. I suppose I should be grateful he didn't carpet bomb my blog.

What was this I heard about 'no censorship' on Steemit?

I think something needs to be done and done pretty quick. Right now the situation is much like that of a toddler with a machine gun. Malicious flagging can destroy a LOT of effort and we have no way to protect ourselves or retaliate. At the very least I'd suggest the later.

I would think that something similar to the Facebook "block" would be appropriate.
