I'd just like to let it be known that at no time has anything been inserted into any of my orifices by any member of bitcointalk.  Specifically, I have never been penetrated by Lauda as I believe I read somewhere in this thread.  Never even had any decent offers, and I'm a pretty high-class hoe in great demand, too.

I didn't figure cryptohunter would get negged for all of his blabbering as of late, but I probably should have expected it.  Same thing happened to mixan a while back when he went off the deep end and started taking the forum hostage with his raving lunacy.  There comes a point where if you spout enough nonsense and attack too many people, it's not going to be taken kindly to anymore.  I'm a bit puzzled as to why cryptohunter suddenly appeared on the Meta/Reputation scene and started making such a fuss about all of these things.  His account is much older than mine, and even I've been here long enough to know how abrasive the culture is around here--and even aside from that, he ought to know this isn't a battle he's likely to win.  I haven't even read many posts indicating that there are any members in his corner on all of this stuff about merits and trust abuse and so forth. 

I think marlboroza's feedback is somewhat harsh given his DT status, but I know where he's coming from.  Lauda has a genuine beef with cryptohunter, so I can understand that.  Either way, cryptohunter thinks everything he's writing is completely logical but that isn't true.  It's not a big stretch for someone to say that it would be hard to trust someone who consistently demonstrates that he can't think straight. 

In any case, red trust is not a means to silence anyone--giving someone a ban is.  And since cryptohunter states that he doesn't trade here, what's the problem?
