>Applause! What right does someone have to tell a stakeholder what to do with their stake?
(none)

So what is downvoting and upvoting and what do you think Dan had in mind  when he said that they were working on a moderation system apart from Curation? 

What right? Every right, and some we are patiently waiting for still. 

>How dare someone decide who can purchase a product that is for sale?

Without thinking twice about it,  that's how. Why should they is the real question?  Because they don't stand for  acts that endanger isolationist positions on a Social Network, voturbation is a product that pollutes and renders the community toxic. 

>The product is the Voting Power which is derived from the stake.

I'd nuance it more to a service than a product but regardless, the service is abuse of a function, a function that is rendered useless by the abuse. 

>The answer to shit posters is to break out your flag.

This was never about shit posters,  but then again you'll find out what this was about when moderation is the main topic,  and the day when all shit people who support isolationist self voting in any of its forms, their sphincters will make the snapping closed sound in global unison.
