You're still not addressing any of my points. Saly's post is still just speculation therefore your rating is also based on speculation.
Salty said that he thinks he is an alt of supa.
Thinks=no proof=speculation
Negative - You were scammed or you strongly believe that this person is a scammer.
The description of the negative trust button says "strongly believe", not proven beyond any shred of doubt. His statement was strong enough for me to believe that Salty's statement was more then just speculation.
Meanwhile...
I did not give him a negative because he is speaking out against me, nor have I ever done that (if I did then you would have gotten a negative a long time ago).
But later on in the same post you admit that you check the past of people that speak against you just to find reasons to give them a negative rating.
No. If someone is a scammer, or has scammed in the past, but for whatever reason does not have negative trust then it would be appropriate to leave such negative trust.
Although just because someone is speaking out against me doesn't mean that I
won't give them a negative if I find a reason to do so. As evidenced
recently, trolling me (including speaking out against me) will likely attract attention for one to check for any transgressions and/or prior scams.
Why? Because they spoke against you and it
attracted your attention, you find this a good enough reason to dig into their posting history and give them a negative rating if you find something worthy. You've even done that in cases where your negative rating was the only one and no one else had complaints about those people. This time you do it based on speculation?
It is not up to me what other people do with their trust. I have pissed off enough scammers in the last few months that it is safe to say with a good amount of certainty someone speaking out against me is either a scammer or an alt of a scammer (the correlation is nearly 100% on this).
You neg repped him because you don't agree with him. That is clear as day. Your default trust is a joke imo.
