No shit? But they'd start caring if I started selling Trust, you say? I'm friends with them, perhaps they might not care so much?
You know, If I don't sell trust in the open, newbies might not realize that green trust could be bought, and might not be as careful as they should be. That's why account selling is allowed on this forum, to educate the unwary, amirite?

Nope, didn't say that either. Me warning you that it isn't a good idea doesnt equal an administrative ban on selling trust. If your friend gave you the trust that you then sell to people, your friend would then be removed most likely. It's not a rule, it's just how people tend to respond.

Huh. So if you gave an account some greentext, and that account is sold and goes on to scam, you'll be removed from default trust?
As an educator, I sell my trust in the open, on Bitcointalk, for the same reason accounts are sold: so that newbies would know that such things happen. That's how allowing Bitcointalk accounts to be sold has been rationalized by you, and I found your reasoning convincing

Again, your lack of understanding of how trust works leads me to believe that you are making a statement rather than actually selling trust.

Lolno.
My story needs some backstory, beams and rafters of the stage upon which our drama's to unfold. Having the whole thing come out of the narrator's moth is just about the most boring way of going about it.
"So BespokeServicesLTD decided to sell his Trust, because he knew Bitcointalk has already turned into a giant bag of dicks."
Nah.

Letting the hero do it ain't much better, sounds artificial as fuck.
"OMG, BespokeServicesLTD!!1!," I said to myself, "is this humungous bag of dicks really what's become of Bitcointalk?"
Lame.

So we make our hero appear ignorant, allowing the secondary characters [you] provide exposition, thinly disguising our amateurish dramaturgy as lively question/answer dialogue [see this thread].
