Whatever buddy
I don't mind either down voting or being down voted. That to me is just about a particular post. Flagging goes beyond that, it is an attempt to put a black mark on somebody's posting record.
If it's abused the person posting the flag should be held accountable by board overseers in my opinion.
Reminds me of the (perhaps apocryphal) story of a former Talapoosa Co. sheriff, who when asked about a dead body pulled from a lake with a concrete block tied around it, said "we suspect foul play".

None of it really bothers me. I wasn’t trying to take a stance against down voting. A lot of times I’ll say something I know is unpopular. Then go back and look to see who down voted, but be disappointed because no one bothered to click anything.
I was just stating the obvious about down voting that I don’t think some people realize.
I see what you’re saying about the flagging. But at some point you’ve just got to have faith in the overall community. Or it wouldn’t work whether it has the flagging system or not. Even if there are a few people who don’t get it.
