Excellent post. This site would just explode with participation if free speech wasn't squelched. At a minimum the only thing any one person should be able to do is flag a comment. They shouldn't be allowed to flag articles people write, run over to their blog page and flag everything in sight or stalk a person and flag every comment they make out of revenge. (As long as the individual is following the rules of Steemit, abusers of the platform overall is a different subject matter, I am just talking about flagging over free speech issues)
