It was a tough call on this one, because two (and only two) of the posts made by Sudhik were actually pretty decent, and these might have deserved merit. This is why I was so on the fence when the merit system got implemented, about whether people should get tagged for merit trading. There's so much subjectivity involved, and if you look at my own received merits, you'd probably think I'm buying them from TMAN or Foxpup.
My strong opinion, though, is that anyone north of Antarctica who knows about bitcointalk knows how important merit is, and these shitposters know how valuable it is and don't hand it out willy-nilly. And it's a bit hard to believe that users like Sudhik and acha1217 would just exchange it like they did. I'm not saying it would be impossible, just improbable, and that's why I left my feedback.
I'd like to hear honest opinions from DT members here. If they think I've left my feedback in error I'll reconsider it.
I will say if you have a slight doubt in proving the guilt then give
benefit of doubt.I am not the lawyer but I think law/lawmakers believe in
Blackstone's formulation which simply state that
It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.Circumstantial evidence can never be ignored and in fact
the U.S. Supreme Court has stated that "circumstantial evidence is intrinsically no different from testimonial [direct] evidence so if you want to proceed the judgement on these evidences you are free to do so.
