Sorry, had to cut the above post short as my wife needed my attention.
The logic placed upon the self up-voting belief is spot on.
Those who do not believe in self voting seek to destroy the ability of the agent to determine the outcome of the vote.
I am sure, in democratic societies, the candidate can choose ones-self.
We seek to use our ability as we see fit.
Voting for oneself is as reckless as masturbation. Doesn't hurt you, and I receive a small fraction of satisfaction in the process.
The true haters of self up-voting practice are those who have not participated in purchasing Steem on an exchange (buying in), and as such think it is unjust.
You know what I think???
