Why changed your trust after getting a negative trust?
Simple: Other DT members suggested that this is the appropriate step to make as the rating was borderline acceptable.
Lauda called someone retarded in March 2016, then when I called lauda out about how this is not appropriate behavior of a moderator, I received a negative rating from Lauda regarding an unrelated issue that had allegedly happened then-6 months ago.
Correct. I was out of line, and I've learned better thanks to you pointing that out. Your rating has nothing to do with that.
Someone was being critical of Lauda regarding when Lauda decides to leave negative ratings that was withdrawn when Lauda removed the negative rating against that person. The change of heart about Lauda was so strong that the person went as far as to say that Lauda was doing more good than harm.
Wrong. My rating was only removed after the misleading title was withdrawn (which is why it was left in the first place). I couldn't care less about the thread. The change of heart was the OP's doing after they came back from their 'vacation'.
Lauda had traded negative ratings with, I believe was BG4, the rating against BG4 was something along the lines of claiming that BG4 was "immature". Eventually both ratings were seemingly removed at around the same time.
Those ratings were exchanged because I harshly criticized BG4 (among other things), not the other way around. The situation was later (randomly) remedied by a third party.
The rating defcon23..
I don't even want to comment on this person.
Maybe I should apologize for not keeping eternal grudges.
