What is this nonsense? Most of the new DT1 members (at least from the collectibles section) have traded goods worth very large amounts of BTC. You may be talking about DT members from local sections; but that was the goal if I understood my master correctly.

Ah, interesting.  OK then, I'm wondering how in hell otrkid1970 put together your (incorrect, but close) location based on your username.  That's strange, very strange.

Haven't been through Joizy in years, and I don't miss all those toll booths off the turnpike--I used to drive to Philly to visit a friend of mine who was attending school at UPenn, and then he lived in NJ for a while.  Can't remember the town, but it was quite a few exits down off the turnpike.  That must've been 2004 or so, last time I was in NJ.

This is a much better feeling than ripping other DT members to shreds, IMO.  

I do agree with Lauda that sometimes burying the hatchet can backfire.  Rambotnic (not a DT member) just proved that to me, though I think there have been other examples where I wished I hadn't removed a neg or had negged someone I didn't.  On the other hand, I'm down with Theymos's request for de-escalation of squabbles, and I do think we can all coexist somewhat peacefully here, even with major disagreements.  They flare up and die down and have done so for years.  If we can keep it in the sub-smouldering stage, that would be a major victory--and an achievable one at that.

Edit:
A'ight, you got me there even though I haven't partaken in their fare in quite some time.  I'm less sure about your attack on my IQ, but you're free to believe what you wish.

Did you just give away a whole bunch of info about where Philipma1957 lives? 

If all three of us are New Englanders, why is it you write like you're from nowhere the English language is ever spoken?  Just curious.  Maybe we should all get together and have a hug-out or something.

Lauda has never done a deal via Bitcointalk?   Lauda offers escrow services among other things.  Perhaps you should do a bit more research before typing nonsense. You do realize that P2P trades aren't the only economic activity going on within this forum. Correct?

Hey I like pussy  but that is not the point.  I have been given a lot of grief  over trust.

 Lauda used to bust a lot of assholes and scammers.

OgNasty  has done a lot of good trades  but he has freaked over a few guys escrows.

Suchmoon  has been really solid support to me when I was threatened by GAW-zen miners Josh G  years ago.

So all three people have helped me.

now  I have a mailing contact to OgNasty
I don't for Lauda.
I don't for Suchmoon.

One of the reasons I dropped almost  everyone off my list  was I don't know:

 real names phone number and addresses

makes it harder to trust if I can't get to them.

most people on the list I had  I good contact for real.

Maybe  trust  should have real name KYC  or not be there at all.

Kind of why  I don't like writing on these threads.

I simply never understood  why all of you fight one another.

I excluded  almost everyone from my list due to being attacked for jacking  my score up   and have been off DT1 list for a while.

I don't like getting dragged into  these arguements.

Over time  I have exchanged many pm's with

Lauda
suchmoon
OgNasty

and I actually get along with the three of you fairly well.

But you guys or girls or cats  fight hard against each other.

I don't know much about thepharmicist, but he seems to have a fan club and a hate club.

And here I am  writing on a thread  that is bound to get me going again.

oh I added

OgNasty
suchmoon
sidehack
frodocooper
Lauda

 to my list the last  few days

of course I now jump back up to 671 trust number  vs 221

but I am moody so  why not

I can always pull them off.

lets see how long before  I get screwed with.

I doubt that there is any DT member who don't trust Og with their funds , i am almost certain that  by now almost everybody knows that he is a very-very trustworthy person, no-doubt , i personally know this without having to hear it from anybody else.

just because other members exclude him, it does not mean they don't trust him. they just have a problem with his feedbacks and/or they have some personal shit going on , same thing goes to those that he exudes.

i still want to see him on DT to be honest, while his rating are not 100% accurate,and many are based on non-trust related matters ( just like many other DT members) i think he has tagged a good amount of scammers and there are chances that those are not tagged by others - therefore, they now have clean profiles again. ( not aware of any specific members, but the possibility is there)

removing anyone from DT in many cases bring more harm than good based on the previous theory , i still believe the best thing to sort this shit out is by keeping the trust system emotionless  and focusing only on protecting the forum from scammers rather than expressing personal views.

I laugh at my continent when foreigners call us poor. You make a statement online about the continent or any country in it and the first thing that comes to people mind is "That poor country or poor continent". Who is to be blamed for all these, it isn't just the leaders anymore but the people are to be held responsible because they voted those leaders into power.

The image below shows you how wealthy Africa is and if she wasn't being raped she would had been the richest continent on earth.

        

What my continent have failed to realized is that power won't be given to you unless you fight for it. If the world was a fair one most African countries would had been among world leading country but instead we get treated like slaves and our wealth is been enjoy by other continents. What a shame

My ratings aren’t worthless nor is my ego fragile. Your continued attempts to control the narrative with nonsense is noticed. People can review my trust ratings themselves and see they are of value. Don’t pretend that my exclusion is about anything other than retaliation for prior exclusions while I was tasked with being one of only a few DT members willing to risk being publicly unpopular for the accuracy of the trust network. In fact, I’m now being crucified by those whom I excluded for not being able to accurately judge the value of trust ratings. Had I cared about my ego, I would have put myself before the forum and acted in a way that wouldn’t have made unstable users want to enact revenge, as they are doing now.

You can say I’m an idiot for donating so much of my time and money to a community project. You can say I’m a fool for risking my reputation as the most trusted user here in order to maintain a reasonably honest DT network and not empower known extortionists. You saying my ratings aren’t valuable though? That is nonsense. More likely you are blinded by politics and acting irrationally out of emotion.

Go attack theymos then:

I agree but he has been acting very childish lately. No idea what happened but his current behaviour doesn't suit DT1 imo.

OgNasty's exclusion doesn't prevent him from trading. It excludes his ratings from the default score and moves them down on on person's trust page, which is appropriate seeing how worthless many of his ratings are due to his extremely fragile ego.

Did you read the OP before blasting off like this? Btw, there are many people on DT1 who have traded large amounts of btc or $$....

I hope you are right. Theymos has made one good step lately and that is more or less to tell them that unless someone is scamming or trying to scam then leave them alone to enjoy their freedom of expression and freedom to have their own opinions.

I hope these persons will follow his advice or else he really does push through custom trust lists for every person here with no such thing as DT

thanks for encouraging words.

I have no problem with that statement, and I'd probably agree with you not only about trading with OgNasty but with members like TECSHARE as well.  That's why I haven't negged either one, which is what the red trust represents.  The inclusion/exclusion thing is where the politics comes into play and I do believe that's where Theymos wants to keep it, unless I've read it wrong.

I didn't check, but I don't think there are many DT1 members who have absolutely no trading history here.  There might be a few, but even I have some feedback from trades.  Good luck finding where they are among all the retaliatory negs I've gotten, but they're there.  I'd be less inclined to do trades with some of the newer members on DT1, but all in all the list looks pretty solid right now.

yes

explain and justify your statement..... you wish to trust a  proven liar that supports other proven liars? why would you wish such a person to be left to lie to others and deceive them at will ? also by his inclusions of lauda tman etc he willing enables abuse of honest persons by their hands.

if you can explain yourself then perhaps you will not appear to be defending a proven liar and enabler of other liars and trust abusers?
