Zeo is one of those people who thinks he has the answers for everyone else. Just like some others on the forums over the past few years. People complain about unjust derepping, tell them rep doesn't matter, that they are over-reacting, and then derep them more for it. That has been the "community solution" for the past few years. How well has that worked out?
Try telling your significant other that they are wrong and over-reacting and see how that works for you...
While these people's intentions might be good, the way they go about it comes off as quite condescending and dismissive. And enforcing the point by downrepping them too, just shows that these people are not beyond bullying tactics.
GoG deserves quite a bit of blame for doing nothing about the trolls and rep issues, but I think everyone needs to look at their own actions. Telling others how I'm right and you are wrong, you are a weak person for caring about the derepping issue and not ignoring it, just adds to the problems here and shows you aren't really listening to the valid concerns of your fellow forumites.
Ignoring a problem rarely, if ever, makes it go away, but that is what some people have tried to do in the last few years while "blaming" the victims of the problem.
