The thing I find interesting is that you @krnel are currently #4 in terms of reputation on this platform. There are exactly 3 accounts and only three accounts with a better reputation that your own.

By the way the reputation system works, you could start flagging the comments of these subjective value flaggers and you'd begin to seriously impact their reputation. Yet, they would consider that wrong. Perhaps you are subjectively deciding that what they are doing is abusive.

There are two types of power at the moment. Steem Power, and Reputation. You are almost top dog in one of those.

Yet, that would also be stooping to their level and like me you likely find that hard to stomach.

Flags lead to flag wars, and some of us are trying to fight our battles with words rather than flags. It is tough to resist at times though.
