I'm flagging people because they are making personal ad hominem attacks towards me...& they are flagging me...But you know what? I'm not doing any more flagging...I didn't come to this platform to get involved in some kind of 'turf' battle...And get ambushed by a bunch of negs...I would rather spend my time posting my articles & upvoting my friends & contributors...I don't want to hurt the overall platform value by engaging in negative activities...if they want to continue, I'm just going to hide them & go on my merry way...no more flagging or down voting for me...
