RE: This Post Will Be Downvoted....

Hi Jon, I read your article with much interest. As you know, I too have had dialogue with that steemian in Poland.

He (yes, a he) claims to be protecting Polish steemians from German downvoters going back to before HF21/22. He has become so consumed in his pursuit for justice - as determined by his own puritanical mind - that he is attacking any system that is similar to a bot. Actually, he got his own bot revenue generator stopped, so he's just being spiteful.

I know where he's getting some of his funds from, as he's popular on a certain Steem tribe. I suspect he's also an agent provocateur, perhaps being funded from a Steem competitor, as why else would anyone swap $200 in cash every day to buy Steem then burn that Steem on downvotes? He portrays himself as being a hero of sorts to the Polish community here on Steem, and he thinks he's just super, man.

He hides behind anonymity yet his true identity is easy to find if you know where to look. I'm not a private investigator so I will not pass on his name. I respect his privacy as he respects mine.

So here's the rub: in every community you get the ones who feel hard done by, and that's why laws are made. Blockchains by their very nature have no laws and are a form of libertarian utopia. All are welcome on Steem, to do as they see fit. If that means destroying your own investment in time, money, and reputation then all of us here on Steem have to decide if Liberty and Freedom includes rape, pillage, and self-destruction of the Steem platform. After all, perfect liberty allows us to destroy Steem itself.
