You are one to talk my friend, you are complicit in all of these same games, which frankly confuses me because you seem to be more sensible than that. The difference is I don't spend all day every day "policing" this forum, so no, I don't think a mirror is required in this particular instance thank you. If anyone had some basic logical arguments to refute mine with I would be happy to hear them. So far I have seen little but a bunch of two-bit intimidation tactics, personal attacks, and accusations against anyone who dares point out this dynamic.

I'm simply pointing out the inherent hypocrisy in your diatribe where you accuse someone else (Lauda in this case) of doing things that you're doing. Kinda distracts from whatever point you're trying to make.

I'm not sure what games I'm complicit in. I disagree with Lauda on some stuff, just like with pretty much anyone on DT1 or the forum in general. You're one of the very few people here who seems to be completely unable to even acknowledge the right to exist for opposing opinions or anything that doesn't go your way, which combines nicely with your total lack of self-awareness, but it doesn't really make you a good judge of what is "logical".

You, Og, and Quicksy make a good team so perhaps you can push through to DT and show us how the... whatever it is you're advocating can actually work in practice. I'm rooting for you.

What kind of things am I doing? Tell me what are my crimes? I am dying to know.

The thing you call a distraction is exactly my point. The same people who want to essentially have the most authority on the forum can not even engage in a very simple critical discussion about protocol without IMMEDIATELY going directly to personal attacks, accusations of wrongdoing, or other petty intimidation or mobbing tactics.

You are complicit because you enable this behavior by joining ranks with these people and covering for them when they are clearly out of line. Maybe you are a follower type not a leader type, I don't know why you do this, but you have a different mentality towards these issues at least and are capable of engaging in a discussion.

Tell me, what is things "going my way" exactly? What do I get out of this other than a gang of stalkers digging through my personal effects? I get penalized for raising these issues, and that is the point, yet we all pretend that in an environment like this there will ever be fair redress of grievances from abuse by these members?

What I was and still am advocating for is a protocol for negative ratings that requires a standard of evidence of theft, violation of contractual agreement, or violation of applicable laws. I have in detail described why this is needed here, and in other posts.

Quickseller and I both exclude and don't like each other, and I can't say OgNasty and I are best buds either. I think we are all just tired of this horse shit after so many years of it.
