Once again, it does not deter from the fact that you were going to remove him (and another party with no relevance to the conflict) because he didn't agree with you on the trustworthiness of a user and would not change a rating he had given. While it may be courteous, it is still trying to get your own way through force or threats.
It is perfectly reasonable to remove positive trust for a user if you don't agree with their trust decisions. I'm not sure why we're even debating this. It sounds like you're upset that I contacted the user and gave him the courtesy of being able to choose how I handled the removal of TwitchySeal from my trust network instead of just taking action. Mitchell doesn't need me to be in the default trust network and so there really is no threat there, at all, by any stretch of the imagination. I'm saying that was done as a courtesy out of respect which should have been obvious by the below comments:
No hard feelings against you either way. I just figured asking you would be better than disconnecting myself with Mitchell, who I did think was trustworthy. Not any kind of problem though. Good luck with you in the future. Always nice to speak with another Bitcoin enthusiast.
I think a reasonable person would come to the same conclusion.
