The whale @berniesanders thinks that by using abusive language and abusive downvotes, that he is helping the community somehow.
He is wrong. His account is already -18 (hey, he moved up to -17!), so downvoting him can't hurt him.
However, he has created the "service" @randowhale which takes people's money and then uses it to continue abusive downvoting against others. People pay him for upvotes, but instead he gives a lesser upvote, and uses some of their funds to downvote.
So I have created @unrandowhale, which will remove the rewards that he gives to paying customers, with an explanation of his behavior as well as an encouragement to not use his services in the future.
While I agree that downvote abuse is completely unacceptable, I'm not sure that getting into a flagging war is actually furthering your goals or those of the steemit community. By creating this post, bernie has already made about $27 just by replying to your comments and self-upvoting. Until you are able to downvote every reply of his to zero, you're not "hitting him in the wallet," you're just adding to his ill-gotten gains. I'd advise not engaging him until you can do so without rewarding his bad behavior.

In other words, hit him in the wallet.
