My self votes are in self defense of my blogs. The trolls have a sneaky habit of downvoting the 6 day old posts to near zero to eliminate payouts. Some also have my posts on autodownvote. I upvote myblog when its made invisible by the troll downvotes. I also upvote "prophylactically" as well. So, yes, I self upvote.

Also, you failed to mention the very racist tactics used by the trolls. On those I go out of my way and return downvotes. If you see my comments to Hive account@hendrix22; I've made every effort explain and reason. To no avail. I have never insulted that man nor have I ever made insulting memes and yet he throws whale shitting memes to donkey look alikes...many show their true inner selves with such behaviors.

I will neither be a doormatt. I will effectively use my SP to downvote racist trolls.
