To start, I don't believe OgNasty is a danger to trade with. He has proven to be trustworthy with large amounts of money, and I can't see that changing.

However, I also don't believe that you should take anything that OgNasty says at face value. OgNasty has a history of twisting words to reflect different meanings (Reference 1 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5122617.msg50814356#msg50814356) / Reference 2 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5097863.0)) and saying things very specifically to suggest a different meaning, then claiming the literal meaning once called out (Reference 3 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5136576.msg53095619#msg53095619)). OgNasty also spreads blatant lies about the people he dislikes or disagrees with (Reference 4 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5097863.msg49255930#msg49255930) - I have never scammed anyone, and have made several thousands worth of successful trades over the 6+ years I've been here), and rarely retracts/apologizes for his obscene statements without significant community pressure.

There are also comments to be made regarding the legitimacy of his 'fan club' that he fronts, produces content/merch for, promotes but doesn't own (which apparently absolves him of any criticism regarding it), but I don't want to get into that.

tl;dr - You should take anything that OgNasty says with a heap of salt, and do your own research before believing anything that he says.

In keeping with theymos' recent post regarding the trust system and it's use (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5221908.msg53741011#msg53741011), I am revising this rating from negative to neutral. I don't expect OgNasty to do the same with his false negative rating on myself.

Originally I was going to just post this on his trust wall, but unfortunately I have to make a topic about it. Sorry for the clutter. If you're looking for discussion this thread isn't for you; I won't be unlocking it. Please don't see this topic as trying to relight the fire.
