I made the mistake of calling him out for being an arbitrary, vindictive envy-monger. He flagged this post and it hammered my rep 6 points and took a $260 post down to $33 that was something he hadn't even seen.

I have seen others posting to the effect that when Bernie notices you, suddenly all these bots upvote you as well. In my opinion he is gaming the system. I am sure the devs will figure out what it is he is doing and close the gate.
