FLAG WAR? How "@haejin vs @uraDICK" is destroying steemit community being completly unpunished.

I'm quite a new member of this community. Joined just few weeks ago and put in loads of effort so far to create some good quality original content.
From the beginning Ive been following several accounts I found in the TRENDING page of the site and found that one of them belonged to a user called Hive account@haejin

I also noticed that recently there is some sort of flag war going on between this user and some other "whales".
So I decided to stay away and not get involved as I am a nobody here, especially given that I have very little experience and voting power.
Life continued and I minded my own business but still continued to follow Hive account@haejin and sometimes read his posts and upvote them.

Now, am I doing something wrong by just "reading" and "upvoting" them? I'm pretty damn sure a majority of people would say 'no you're not doing anything wrong especially since you're not involved". I'm merely in the sidelines. So why, why is Hive account@uradick downvoting me?

Is that how people behave on steemit now? Just because someone has an opinion of their own and chooses to read, follow or upvote someone, they are being punished? Seems like cyber-bullying and being a keyboard warrior is still rampant in this day and age.

Being "PUNISHED" by Hive account@uradick who is one of those who declared war to Hive account@haejin is absolutely uncalled for!

Waking up early this morning only realize that my post has been downvoted by a big whale Hive account@uradick is very discouraging. (Btw, what kind of an insulting nickname is that.. says a lot doesn't it..)

I've spent some decent amount of time creating my article. I have attracted some followers and I promoted my post. Just to be downvoted for no real reason.
Right now I've lost my rewards. Currators also lost theirs. Should that have happend? Are the so called "whales" playing GODs here? Ridiculous.

If you open Hive account@uradick profile then you will see that he never created any post but instead has a huge warring that says:

"In order to continue receiving free flags from me, continue to press the vote button for ..." Hive account@haejin
https://steemit.com/@uradick

Yesterday I've been reading a similar post written by one of my followings. And today it happend to me.

Why do you even think us regular people care about your little meaningless fight?

Why are you guys DESTROYING this place and putting new users off by your silly games?

What Hive account@uradick is doing is NOT benefiting anyone but instead bringing more HATE to steemit.

And the worst of all is that there is no place to complain. Nothing can be done. Noone is above those unregulated "steemit police forces". The problem is that this "police" act more like a GANG.

Cheers,
