Correlation does not imply causation
I know that. I insist, I just want to understand why DT1 members added those users
Do you find any explanation why nonnakip was added? You seem neutral, of course I'll really consider your possible explanation

I'll take Og's word for it (and I'm not a big fan of his), seeing that nonnakip has been removed anyway. I'm not really neutral since Og has excluded me but I don't do DT butthurt drama either.

If you really want to uncover abuse you need to dig deeper and you also need to be able to accept the outcome even if it doesn't match your preconceived notions. I'm starting to doubt that you're up to the task.
I know that too. I'm still digging deeper and help is much appreciated. Discarding everything is not helping, digging with me is

I'm open to be corrected and I'll admit if I'm wrong. But I'm not open to be discarded without arguments
philipma1957 is suspicious of me and that's perfectly fine. But he's really checked his list. Of course it's fine he keeps the users he considers must stay after his checking
I no longer believe he is abusing the trust system

OgNasty has just denied everything, even straightforward cases like nonnakip, and hasn't given any explanations about that at all

Tomatocage hasn't reacted yet. Let's see what happens

I did provide some arguments as to why focusing on a narrow set of numbers the way you do is wrong in my opinion. Here is another one courtesy of Phil:

 buysolar ---- is my partner in the solar array he stays he will also be doing the Canaan  training with me. he stays
  generalt ---- has purchased from me multiple times I meet him in person many times he stays

All other things being equal, interaction IRL beats forum numbers any day.

If you want to dig deeper - look into timing of feedback, interactions between the involved members (butt kissing vs real trades), that sort of thing. Number of feedback ratings is a dead end. IMHO.

Og said this about nonnakip, not sure why you're claiming there was no explanation:

I removed nonnakip from my trust settings.  I agree that looks suspicious, even if I feel that nonnakip's opinions are far more valued by me than those of other users.

Have you contacted Tomato?
