OP attempted to blackmail us into removing their ratings. We got tagged for not giving in. Any attempts at making their ratings appear under a real pretense is therefore void (actually makes them a even less trustworthy).

I still have the PMs from iluvbitcoins he sent me after I tagged him, and I can't speak for Lauda but iluvbitcoins didn't try to blackmail me into removing my feedback.
You don't seem to have experienced with 'act-nice-blackmail', which this was.
Since you asked for opinions, I'll give you mine: From the moment I saw the red tag on OP, I thought it was a bit harsh.
OP is dishonest; there's nothing harsh here. Their behavior post-rejecting to obeying their requests proves that.
I'm not familiar with offering loans and accepting accounts as collateral, but would it be normal practice to take control of the staked address of the account they are getting as collateral for a loan? I thought it was normally just the account login information provided?
I don't think so.
I have sent you 3 PMs.

This is the simmilar english equivalent I've sent to The Pharmacist. Judge yourself is there's blackmail in it.

http://prntscr.com/laulccTranslates to "You don't speak Croatian?" since he responded to my PM on english, although he spoke Croatian a year back.
I can stream my outbox if someone is willing to watch it in order to confirm this to be legitimate.
I don't think so.
Just seemed odd to me that iluvbitcoins would control the staked address of an account he is selling which was apparently acquired through a defaulted loan. I don't see any evidence that private keys or staked addresses were typically used as collateral in the past with accounts - as that would be stupid for the account owner. And I guess I don't understand why anyone would accept a loan from an account owner who is handing over their private keys?? (assuming they expect to be paid back)
The account didn't have a staked address when I got it as collateral, I staked one a year back or so when it was in my ownership.
@The Pharmacist
If I was a DT when I left it, I wouldn't have left it at all.
I appreciate you came through and removed yours.
