This is a strategy often used by those in control of the default trust list to protect their pals. They wag their finger at them, remove them for a short time, then re-add them again knowing no one will listen to the complaints a second time. VOD loved taking this strategy with his own ratings removing them after public pressure is applied, then adding them back later after everyone moves on.
I'm sorry, but who else besides myself has ever been added to Default Trust Network after being removed? The only other example I can think of is TBZ, however he was put back on because he had removed the negative rating that got him removed in the first place.
Interestingly, you had to remove a false negative rating in order to be added, then after being removed, you replaced the rating which you originally had to remove in order to be added. It sounds a little like the opposite of TBZ's situation. It certainly is a curious situation that TC allows the false rating to stand this second time around. I can't explain it and TC's only comment on it suggests apathy.
Why don't you and Quickseller shake hand and make up. Endless strems of text and explanations. I doubt anybody read it. Come on, life is too short for this type of fights.
Make love not war <3
BrainM: I'd love nothing more than this. QS has no real grudge against me (that I can tell). And I have no real grudge against him (other than his attack on me). I'm standing here holding out an olive branch and asking him to stop and fix this (really for his own good as much as for mine). But if he's not going to withdrawal his attack, what can I do but continue to draw attention to it.
I couldn't agree more with your sentiment that it's time for him to end this. But I have to emphasize, he's the aggressor here, not me.
What would you do if you were in my situation, BrianM? Imagine that QS suddently turned on you and started neg-repping you left-and-right using sockpuppets and false charges, what would you do?
