I appreciate very much your cogent explanations written in layman's terms.
That being said, I really don't understand how you guys have failed to grasp basic social functions as blatantly as you have. The DV pool will not insulate minnows from retaliation, so won't enable the to downvote safely. It will enable censors and bullies to do what they already do, but do more of it at less cost.
I'll let the downvotes and comments on this reply prove my point.
Thanks!
