RE: My Voting Declaration: Smart Social Contract
Also downvote shills, shilling and trolling is also a very shady practice and has no place in an open platform like steemit!

I upvote posts I disagree with politically if the person writing them strikes me as intelligent. But I find too many people bitching about trolls as soon as they find themselves in conversation with someone that disagrees with them. I don't want to only talk to people who agree with me on everything. That's a circlejerk.
In general I upvote smart and reserve the down vote button for the worst kind of spam and stupidity.
Some 'shilling' is legitimate discussion. If it falls into my subjective spam category, that's enough for me to downvote.
Trolling is a mix of dishonesty and antagonism. Shilling implies simple dishonesty. Two sides of the same coin, IMO.
