It sounds suspiciously like you're trying to quietly gather information on how to get included on more people's trust lists. I don't believe I'm extremely paranoid; just slightly-above-averagely paranoid.
Nothing wrong with being a little more paranoid than average.
I’m the same way given the proper circumstance. I understand why you might perceive it that way. For what it is worth, that is not my intention. My goal is to hear some criticism of myself that I may be blind to so that I can make improvements. I respect the opinion of these people and we are a community.
Excluding you from my trust list does not (necessarily) mean that I distrust you, or that I harbour any resentment or ill-will toward you. It simply means that I believe you are a sufficiently poor judge of character that your own trust list and feedback are meaningless to me, and therefore to be excluded. This is not a moral judgement, but a pragmatic one. Due to my aforementioned paranoia, I will not be more specific than that.
I’ll take that into consideration. Thanks for the clarification.
