RE: Although subjectively downvoting posts to zero is anathema to me, the Layer 1 ability to do so must remain (for now at least)
well I think that's a little too easy. Say, if it was personal and I was the target, could I then so easily shrug it off? While this is the wild west, we have to establish some kind of protocol otherwise it's just a dog eat dog mentality.
Explaining the reason for a downvote would be a start, and also as Dan pointed out zeroing the rewards is very questionable. You definitely have the "right" to downvote whomever you like, but again, downvoting a neutral post (from the example above) with 100% as a whale essentially means to "censor" someone. Just be aware of that

No, not censor. Redistribution of rewards.
More money in your pocket.
That’s the explanation.
It really doesn't and many downvotes on disagreement of rewards are often cast later on to avoid the trending "attention". Of course those who are against downvotes will use this to their defense too "they downvoting late so people can't counter vote due to penalty or not seeing it".
tl;dr, there's no winning with authors of posts you downvote, so having to explain to each and everyone why leads to endless arguments and discussions wasting everyone time. 99% of the time it's always about the rewards and not about any form of "censorship".
