I excluded you from my trust list before I even knew about the self bidding thing, not because I thought if I did a trade with you I'd get scammed, but because you are way too fixated on retaliation.
You're not the first one to come up with gimmicky "reasons" to justify whatever trust/rating activity.
I'm not fixed on retaliation, I'm not doing anything based on retaliation. You seem to be very confused.
If you're however talking about the Vod rating case: the root of me being so vocal about Vod's misuse of current DT is his unjust rating towards me. Go find out what it's about. Shortly, Vod threatened to rate me red if I didn't remove my rating towards him. So he rated me red. Wanting that sort of rating behavior to stop, especially when done by current DT, is now "fixated on retaliation"?
You want vigilante justice in the form of the ability to silence those who'd disagree with you, and that is completely and unimaginably wrong.
Is this "vigilante justice in the form of the ability to silence" what DT can do currently? Insane, and totally not what DT should be about!
I don't want to silence anyone. I want everyone to
not be able to cast stigmas on anyone in the form of DT ratings. Current DT is being used poorly -- you're a prime example of that.
I don't want any "vigilante justice in the form of the ability to silence". I don't know how you came up with this anyway, but obviously it's made up of thin air. Stop doing that.
I have no personal grudges against you, I'm sure you are a functioning human being that doesn't go around kicking puppies or burning down orphanages, but really, for your own mental health, take a break from the campaign to right wrongs, and just chill. Who cares if Vod and I think you deserve negative feedback, ignore us and carry on. If anyone cares too much about our feedback, use escrow. I just said in my feedback that I wouldn't participate in an auction you run, I didn't say that you are a Bond villain looking to steal the crown jewels.
I am working on trying to make this DT thing, at least in the current format, not exist, so it wouldn't be there to enable e.g. power trippers & bird brains to have any wrecking power. It doesn't really matter who uses it right and who uses it wrong, it's a systematic problem as there are always going to be wrongdoers.
If anyone cares too much about our feedback
This is exactly the problem. People are "forced" to care about your feedback, and have your feedback as "trusted" by default, because that's how the current DT works. I want to change this. Of course you're now being against changing DT status because it would reduce your power. I didn't expect you to be able to objectively look into this anyway, as you already did show me how you are not even trying to be objective in your actions. (E.g. when you care more about your prejudice than quite simple facts.)
