This is going too be a long one.
Hellot, who was in no way involved in the escrow threatened to leave me negative trust unless I broke my publicly stated escrow rules and sent funds to an unsafe address, which if I had done so we all know would have resulted in me being accused of aiding a scam and told that I owe the funds.
And? If you do this and he doesn't trust you for it, do you think that he should hold is tongue and not say so? If you can't handle people saying that they don't trust you, and showing such on a platform built for doing just that, log off the forum and turn off the computer.
So I got the escrow user's approval to refund the sending address, which I did.
You gave him the option of sending the BTC back to the sending address, or not sending the BTC anywhere. It's not like he had much of a choice.
Before you go off on one, I'm not saying you did anything wrong through doing this.
If anyone's negative deserves to be countered, it is his.
You don't seem to understand why someone would counter a negative rating. I should explain why later on in this post.
That is clear to anyone.
No.
This is yet another example of attempted bullying via extortion (send BTC to this address or else...)
What a hard life you must lead, being constantly 'extorted' and 'attacked'.
Hellot's negative rating does not affect your trust score. This can not be said for your rating on him.
Irrelevant.
It's absolutely relevant. The whole point of countering a trust rating is that if it affects a user's trust score unjustly to the majority of users it can be undone somewhat. If for 99-100% of the forum, your trust score is untouched, there is no reason for a rating to be countered.
Ad hominem? False equivalency? Nice argument.
No, this is called explanation of a hypothesis using facts.
And it is irrelevant to the point you are trying to make. You're just looking for things to try and make your argument look better and Lauda's look worse.
Sounds like you're paranoid and making false allegations. You are the one who has stated
you counter my ratings, not the other way around.
.
cough.
cough.
cough.
The only person I've seen verifiable evidence they are an extortionist is you.
And me,
and Hhampuz,
and Zepher. Whether or not this is extortion is semantics, you have to be either lying or stupid to think that this user is trustworthy (especially in regards to the other things that he has done in the past).
If you truly care about the community like you always big yourself up to, whatever trade deals
you have had with him are irrelevant.
Blazed who is a DT member has left defcon23 positive trust twice. Why single me out? Even Mitchell who is a staff member here has left him positive trust.
I've seen Lauda talk to people that aren't on DT (and never have been) about their trust ratings on people like defcon. Don't think that you're being singled out.
That was shorter than I was expecting.
