No the down vote is not fixed, not even by a long stretch of my imagination.  Example:
* @sospicy
* Post Count	1 posts|0 comments|23 replies
*  Vote Count	1,580 votes|106 votes received
* Voting CSI	[ ? ] ( 0.00 % self, 0 upvotes, 0 accounts, last 7d )
* Rewards tab: All Time	0.000	0.411	
* Delegator	Amount	Vesting Shares	Delegation Time

So **NO** it is not fixed. If it was fixed then people would be able to let this person know via comments and votes that their behavior is not acceptable by the community standards. **Normalizing** bad behavior is not fixing anything. This is only one of I don't know how many accounts of this nature you want their actions to be seen as ***Normal***.  

SO what is ***Fixed*** about the down vote? Being **FREE**? I really don't need to here about how it is not really a down vote by these type of people because it does no significant value/reputation damage to a person. When people come in and they get a meaningless bullshit down vote from a 12 year old miscreant man or woman child  it does not look make ***Steem*** look good, especially when they are the **enablers** of the account.

The person holds stake and has RC credits and voting power.  They are allowed to use it to express both upvotes and downvotes.

I call that fixed.  They can not express more or less than they own.

There are no damages, just a lack of understanding on how the voting system works.

If you really want to believe that, and that is your opinion, then in your mind it is fixed. 

His stake, in vest is :Vesting Shares	0.414 STEEM | 0.001 MVests
The rest is delegated by STEEM. 

The lack of understanding is why a company, corporation, or business would continue to allow actions, (that they enabled), that harm them, and do nothing about it. The harm while to the individual is nothing to those looking in all they see are the red flags and that in some cases may be enough to deter them from ever even trying steem block chain. 

But I am so glad you don't think it is fixed, but that you **KNOW** the down vote is **FIXED**.  It is still my opinion that the down vote system is broken, and that the only *FIX* is in as *fixing* a boxing match where someone is paid to take a dive.

I can see your point of view as well.

I just know we can't control how people use their stake beyond trying to counter what we see as bad votes.

I hope that people will become less triggered by downvotes, if they don't accept them as part of the decentalized blockchain, I fear we will have to stop paying content creators at all.

There is just too much abuse and very little hope for consensus on a "fair" plan.  The easest way to attempt fairness is to align it with stake.
