What I'd like to see are downvotes sufficient to offset only those illegitimate votes.

This is pretty much what I'd have liked see happen from the beginning. A downvote made to counter the majoirty of the upvote from Hive account@ranchorelaxo since there seemed to be no wrong doing on Hive account@haejin's part in the beginning.

The problem now is that Hive account@haejin & Hive account@ranchorelaxo have gotten comfortable enough that they feel they can threaten and intimidate the community into not flagging their posts.. And they are right.

When Hive account@haejin was powering down it wasn't as much of a concern to me although Hive account@ranchorelaxo's account is continuing to grow from curation rewards.

Now that he is powering up it is a greater concern since he seems to have no interest other than taking what he can get from the reward pool and defending his right to do so through threats and downvotes.
