What is getting to me recently is the defense used by Lauda when being called out are generally off-putting to me and usually lack substance. "I cannot confirm nor deny", name calling, "go away scammer", etc., which may be a reason why QS gets more traction from others than maybe he deserves, because it makes it look like Lauda is dodging or hiding stuff.
This is actually quite appropriate defense when said "criticism" is of the following type:All of those accounts deserved their negative trust. Creating a new account to spread the lie that I'm a pedophile is not criticism.
If you actually intent to spend time properly addressing any concern-trolling-aka-smear-attempt, then they are easily going to drain your energy[1]. Either you are out, or you are drained to the point where you are barely able to do anything. Either way, the other side wins. [1] This is a classic tactic from the book of fraudsters, very often used by Bcash scammers to smear Core developers with whatever (the same has happened in this thread, just directed at me). I expect you to know this, but I've stated it anyways.
...it is actually a little exciting to see DT1 members using their rights and being active in the trust area..
Excluding me based on my statements on the Bcash scam and tags on bcash scammers (which I asked theymos about before actually neg. rating several people), is indeed a *exciting use of their right*.
