The ability to speak freely, not earn freely
Also, does this mean you believe that if you don't like a shop owner (who isn't doing anything illegal) or you don't like the patrons of that shop, that you should be able to take money from their till and redistribute it to other shops?
Depends on what Steem is and is not.
Please explain.
Whether or not people should be able to downvote may partly depend on who owns and rents the different parts of Steem, or not. I say that as that is the confusing part.
Maybe "only witnesses can downvote"?
