Revenge flagging because I left you a comment? Here's the thing, I am trying to help you. Others will flag you for the misuse of tags. If you want to be a jerk you will soon find you have no reputation.
A simple, "Sorry" and fixing the mistake goes along way. Revenge flagging shows you don't really want to be part of the community.
Edit: I also find it ironic that you authored a post about everyone making mistakes .
In a sense I introduced myself. I gave a vague outline of who I am and some things that I've done. Just because this post is not an entire description of my life doesn't mean that I didn't at least (in part) introduce myself. Enough to the point where I felt the tag "introduce yourself" was appropriate...
I don't think that it is entirely necessary to go about and nitpick peoples articles and down-vote them because they don't fit your description of what should be tagged. If I were to have tagged "introduce yourself" and then talked about aliens the whole time I could see your point.
Many in the community consider the reuse of #introduceyourself as tag spam and will flag. I spend a lot of time flagging abuse and trying to help users before they get flagged.
Noted. I'm sure this is the reason that Reddit has such strict rules for their subreddits... Because everybody has a different idea of what is supposed to go where...
This is certainly a flaw in the system that should be addressed. Maybe people should only be allowed to use the "introduce yourself" tag once, if this is the "official" rule. But then again who are the "officials" here? lol.
It is certainly the wild west of blockchain social media, and just like in the wild west, everybody has taken upon themselves to become the authoritative figure in the overall molding of it. Which, I think, kind of smothers the air with an atmosphere of confusion.

I didn't flag you. I left you a comment. I upvoted your original introduction here: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@flandude/quitting-alcohol-caffeine-nicotine-and-marijuana-at-the-same-time

Take my advice or don't.
