Nobody acts with impunity on steem, theres all kinds of consequences in the social realm that extend far outside rewards and flags. Learn to put on some thick skin, its your choice to beg for consideration from these losers but ultimately they are free to consider that begging as insinuating they aren't considerate when they probably did it because they think such articles aren't steem worthy and they were considering the bigger picture of attracting investors and the unquestionable mass.

Censorship is hardly makings a button, intringuily named Reveal to advertise to everyones inherent curiosity of.. buttons, so take all flags with gratitude because at the end of the day theres no place like steem, regardless of steemit the principle of Censorship Proof Decentralized Transparency remains at the bottom of this anarchist's creation (nod @dan), and take the open source as invitation to make it better, of you build it they will come, granted that you're not actually censored.
