Trust is a joke in this forum .
That's an extremely self-serving comment, and not one I'd take particularly seriously. Nor should anyone else. You want sMerit to advance your own purposes, whatever they are, and not because you give two shits about bitcointalk. You'd either sell it or send it to your alts if you were made a merit source. As stated, your chances are infinitesimal of becoming one--so just give it up. You'll be doing yourself and this entire community a favor by doing so.
Lauda isn't the only one who gave you negative feedback, either. I and a few others did as well, so that argument holds no water.
