It would have been nice to know when someone tries to dob me in - for something that has a simple explaination. A message would have been a minimum courtesy.

If he had sent a simple message to me I would have offered an explaination. I didn't even know what "smerit " was until recently. Lafu helps out a lot of people on the forum. It said that smerits could expire in the future so I gave it to him. I didn't even know that he had given me merit until recently when I found out that merit existed. I don't even see what the big deal is. I couldn't care less about merit I receive.

The merits were given in accordance to the rules: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2766177.0



It is likely that oneliner has some hidden agenda against me - perhaps even a sockpuppet or rent-a-troll of someone I have busted for running scams on bitcointalk or elsewhere.
Oh well - you got my attention - briefly - and now ignored, tagged and message blocked.

I don't negotiate with scammers and blackmailers and wear their reds with pride.

Lafu gives almost daily advise on bitcointalk  - I think I'm allowed to give merits for that. It even said not to keep them because they might expire.

Clearly not an alt since Lafu doesn't even live on the same continent as me.

The "contact me " and second chance T&C's looks like basic blackmail by a user that has no offical role on bitcointalk. I've tagged accordingly.





mdayonliner is endorsing giving merit away as "prizes" in a signature campaign and his signature is "for rent". How hypocritical is that ?
