From my point of view @skeptic is very opinionated and (while that's perfectly alright for me) a whale account called "Bernie Sanders" on Steem caught a wind of his posts and started downvoting them just because he didn't approve his opinions.

@skeptic may have retaliated a bit too aggressively for being flagged, but I don't see the reason why bernie would want to permanently damage his reputation for "offending" him.

I've been doing my best to help him autovoting some of his posts and comments 100%. But after HF19 it excessively hurt my voting power so I had to tone it down a bit.
