We just literally said that asking for positive trust = receiving negative trust.

I think he meant something else. Since actmyname is not answering and OP clearly acted like a jackass here. He nagged and annoyed actmyname so much that too before his 3 day rule, so now that actmyname has blocked him, he wants other DT members to give him "green trust" to nullify his rating,
This guy gets it.
One person leaving negative trust does not speak for the entire community, and as such others who disagree with a particular negative rating can counter said negative rating with a positive rating of their own. This is a basic feature of the trust system.
I would not find it unreasonable for someone to ask for help with a problem, especially when the person being asked is sympathetic to their issue.
Perhaps Lauda's pill addiction makes it difficult to understand this.
They do everything that would a person who received a red trust for no reason, could not return it. If you put a red trust, then you:
1. Do not have to write to the person who put it to you.
2. Do not ask to return the trust.
That's their whole policy! They do not care at all. They do not want to understand
