I am fairly certain that I know who the OP is and I don't think it is productive to make ad hominem attacks against the OP, as I would argue that he is probably one of the most trusted people around.

I would say that I agree that Mexxer-2 and Lutpin are strange choices for being in the Default Trust network. I would also say there is a high chance they are the same person.

I somewhat get the feeling that some people are trying to make a name for themselves as being a scam buster. They are doing this by stretching the definition of a scammer and leaving negative trust for people who probably do not have the drive nor motivation to defend their name/reputation, even though what they are accused of doing, even if true, is really not scamming.

I would note that a good number of the "Mexxer-2 and Lutpin" threads have resulted in no additional negative ratings being added to the accounts of those complaining, and in a decent number of instances the ratings have been removed. On the other hand, it was fairly rare that a rating that I left was inappropriate, and as a result very few ratings needed to be removed that I left and many of the "QS" threads resulted in additional people looking at the evidence and leaving additional ratings on those complaining.
As much as I think QS should probably opt out of any discussion about default trust (and escrow), I agree with him here.  I see Mexxer-2 being very active in the forum and doing a lot of good, but I haven't seen a trade history and his track record is not that long.  Lutpin I definitely see as an odd choice and some of the feedback I've seen from him is like Vod on steroids.  Frankly given their limited track record and all of these other questions, you really need to reevaluate what you think "default trust" is.  Because I don't necessarily trust either one of them, and definitely much less so than other members like BAC, Blazed, etc. who've proven more or less that they can be trusted.  But that's just my opinion on the matter and it's worth exactly what you paid for it.
