Four wrongs do not make it right, rather it is a clusterfuck.
1. Centralized de facto trust list for most users.
2. @Lauda knows this thus can abuse @kiklo.
3. @kiklo is told to accept this abuse, so he lashes out.
4. You guys have the wrong of blaming the clusterfuck on @kiklo accusing him of being a hypocrite.
Big mess all made by very poorly contemplated design of a forum system.
Humans are social animals, which means they are designed to abuse, or be abused, to dominate, or to be dominated, to rule, or be ruled. The abused, dominated and ruled want others to be abused, dominated and ruled too, apart from their abusers, dominators, and rulers. That's the essence of social behaviour: if you're beaten up, you want others to be beaten up too.
Social behaviour is perpetuated, because it is in the advantage of the deciders for it to be perpetuated (the progenitors, the rule makers, and the economically privileged), and they keep the speculative dream alive of the dominated, to be one day the dominant (which almost never happens, but it is the belief that counts). As such, the dominated, too, want this to be perpetuated, waiting for the moment (in vain) when they will be the dominators.
In other words, social behaviour is locked in by a consensus mechanism that became immutable. You can always try to fork off, you will get a 51% attack on your nose.
So all this is in perfect agreement with human nature.
