Well the idea is not to protect certain users, its to keep people from coming on to the site and abusing the system, which only allows people to downvote as much as they upvote. So a set of people are coming in and downvoting certain users and choosing to upvote others, not based on content but based on user. It seems like these users are trying to push certain users away to influence the sites narrative which is not what I want, I want the site to be a free discussion of ideas rather than an echo chamber based on people coming in and trying to push people away.
