if someone not trusting you anymore and excluding you from their trust list does not that mean their opinion for you is negative?

if so why none of them negged after kicked out?

There is nuance, no?

Seems that getting kicked off of trust is not the same as negative. Sure you can do both, but if a regular hammer works to pound in a small nail, it seems to be a bit overkill, and perhaps unnecessary to use a sledgehammer to attempt to accomplish the same.

Another example. Let's hypothesize that we had a demerit system that supplements our current merit system. There would be three levels that are each different. I could consider that you post deserves merit or I could refrain from giving merit or I could give a hypothetical demerit. Just because I chose to not merit such post does not necessarily mean that it rises to the level of justifying employment of a demerit. Probably not the best examples, but I attempted to answer your suggestion that removal from DT would necessarily rise to the level of negative trust.
