I have repeatedly observed a very clear pattern where people abuse flagging and downvotes in a bad faith censorious and outright hostile and hateful manner.
Furthermore, it doesn't stop with one comment being buried for wrong think, rather the down voters promptly go through your recent comment history and flag arbitrary unrelated things. Completely mundane things, uncontroversial things, comments that were up for days with no ill will from anyone and had plenty of upvotes are suddenly flagged. Not subtle at all.
I believe this sort of behavior is not appropriate/healthy and will eventually kill the community. My question is whether you have observed similar things, please share your personal experience and opinions on this matter.
My suggestion is to show a public list of users who go on such flagging sprees.
